Crêperie St-Paul is described as a cozy, second floor cafe in the heart of Old Montréal with a relaxed vibe and good value for the area. Reviews highlight a large menu of crepes, from Nutella strawberry banana to savory options, paired with solid coffee and a casual atmosphere. The service overall is friendly and quick, though a few visits note slow or inattentive staff and some inconsistency in dishes or portions. The setting and location are repeatedly praised, with street charm and a terrace option noted, and the prices are considered fair for such a touristy area. It is seen as a convenient stop for a quick bite or a pleasant break during sightseeing, with both halal and non halal options mentioned and many guests leaving satisfied.
Right in the middle of a lively food spot - surrounded by the buzz of people, the smell of fresh dishes, & that cozy, casual vibe - this place feels like the perfect stop when you're craving something really satisfying. Whether you're out with friends or just grabbing a quick bite, it's an easy go-to.
The food here honestly surprised me. I ordered a chicken & asparagus dish along with a Nutella strawberry banana crêpe, & both were amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly - tender, flavorful, & paired really well with the asparagus. It felt fresh & not too heavy, which made it even better.
& then the crêpe… easily the highlight. Warm, soft, & filled with that perfect mix of Nutella, fresh strawberries, & bananas. Sweet without being too much, & just super satisfying. It's the kind of dessert you don't want to share.
The overall experience just hits right - good portions, great taste, & a chill atmosphere where you can actually enjoy your food. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in a while, & a spot I'd come back to without thinking twice.
Right in the heart of the historic district - surrounded by cobblestone streets, stone façades, & that unmistakable Old Town charm - this café feels like a perfect little pause button. Whether you're sightseeing, taking photos, or just wandering aimlessly through the old port area, it's an ideal stop to recharge.
The coffee here is honestly one of the best value finds in the area. In a neighborhood where prices can easily climb because of the tourist traffic, their $5 coffee feels like a small victory. & it's not just cheap - it's genuinely good. Rich, smooth, & properly brewed, it's the kind of cup you can sip slowly while watching the world pass by outside.
& then there are the crêpes. Fresh, warm, & surprisingly affordable, they're the perfect companion to your coffee. Light but satisfying, sweet without being overwhelming - exactly what you want when you're taking a break in the middle of exploring. It's rare to find a place in Old Montréal that offers both quality & reasonable pricing, especially right on Rue St-Paul E.
The atmosphere is relaxed & welcoming. It's the kind of café where you can comfortably sit for a while - not rushed, not overcrowded - just enjoying good food & good coffee in one of the most beautiful streets in the city. Whether you're a tourist or even a local rediscovering Old Montréal, this spot strikes that perfect balance between charm, comfort, & value.

Cozy place on the second floor. It's was a fairly busy time on a Sunday at the beginning of summer, but it wasn't very busy at all at 6:15, we were just the second table. By 7 PM it wasn't half full yet.
Crepes are about $15-20 each for a main course savoury crepe - they come with a fresh side salad - which was a light tasty side.
We tried 4 different savoury crepes - I would say that the crepes become a vehicle for the food, rather than the star attraction itself. The crepes are decent, fairly thick. For those who are unaware, the Quebec style is a thicker, crepe than you may get elsewhere (like Paris). I prefer the Paris version where it's crispy & elevated everything else. In this case, the food is great, but the crepe didn't really stand out at all.
The salmon & cream cheese surprisingly worked out as did the chicken & bacon (which I would have called corned beef instead of bacon).
We had a picky 9 year old who refused to eat it though, but that's more about him than the quality of the food.
I had the Nutella strawberry crepe. It was decent-the crepe was well made & the strawberries were fresh. That said, there was surprisingly little Nutella, which took away from the overall experience. Not a bad crepe, but I was expecting a bit more Nutella.
If you have a stroller, will have to fold & bring it upstairs to their restaurant. Very tight if you have a full size stroller. Mango smoothie - not available Shrimp crepe - not available Ordered 3 crepes, 2 arrived. Third only arrived after the first two were done & didn't arrive until everyone else in the restaurant ordered got their food. Turned out the staff had not put our order in until we asked. I suppose my lack if knowledge in French was the culprit. Crepes are freshly made. Has the right texture & look. A little bit thick. Chef was great.tried to set everything right.
