Le Casse-Crêpe Breton offers a popular dining experience in Old Quebec City, widely praised for its extensive menu of both savory and sweet crepes that are often described as delicious, fresh, and perfectly portioned. Many visitors enjoy the cozy, classic atmosphere and the entertaining open kitchen where they can watch their food being prepared. While the staff is frequently highlighted as friendly, kind, and efficient, some guests have reported inconsistent service, including long wait times, occasional order mix-ups, or a hurried feeling during peak hours. Opinions on the buckwheat crepes are notably mixed, with some diners finding them authentic and enjoyable, while others feel the texture and flavor are lacking compared to traditional expectations. Despite some critiques regarding specific sides or seasoning, the restaurant remains a frequent go-to for many, especially for those seeking a charming, reasonably priced breakfast or brunch in a beautiful, historic setting.
I'm a tourist & wanted to try French crepes for dessert after dinner. Around 5:30?I ordered Oreo chocolate crepe for takeout. There were no customers in the restaurant, & the waitress just use the old crepe & heated it up with chocolate, then put in the container without utensils. When I got to the hotel in 5 minutes, crepe was very hard & difficult to chew. I was extremely disappointed; they were really awful. Eating some made my stomach upset, so I threw the rest away. This $20 food was truly disgusting. I don't know why they treated costumers so differently.
The place is beautiful & staff is nice. However , the crepe was not good , the dough was gooey & my order was done wrong. I ordered chocolate crepe filling & I got strawberry filling, unfortunately I ordered to go so I was stuck with that order….. On top of that it was pricey for the bad quality.

The menu was a bit confusing at first but eventually we figured it out. It would have been helpful if the server asked if we had been there before so we could clairify the options. The server was non-chalant, but we all have our good & bad days. Service was fast though. That being said the crepes were very good! We had the regular crepe with strawberries, banana, chocolate & whipped cream. I also tried the Hot chocolate which I liked as well.
Excellent food & the espresso, hot chocolate is delicious! The crape's were amazing.
Unfortunately we had very slow service, not sure why, but others around us we're eating finishing & leaving before we even got our food.
The best hot chocolate in all of Quebec City. My friend & I had to come back a second day just for the hot chocolate. There is also a bowl option available
Ok…so mixed feelings about this place. It was very cozy, friendly staff. The hot chocolate was pretty good. I ordered the buckwheat crepe (turkey ham & egg)…never saw the egg, & it was pretty bad. Full disclosure, the server did tell me the buckwheat was different & not everyone likes it but I decided to try it…that is on me. Stick to the flour crepe & it should be fine. Still, a good experience overall.
Very disappointed in the service here & the quality of crepes!!!
We arrived around 5:15pm & there was only one other couple.
We were ready to order & kept looking around at a server & there were 3 of them standing around. None of them looked our way or heard us say'excuse me!'
I literally watched them take an order of a party of 3 that just wanted drinks but came AFTER us!
I finally caught the attention of one of them by loudly saying excuse me with my arm raised.
They were all young looking too (in their 20s).
After our order was taken, the food took awhile to come out & I noticed that another couple that came AFTER us, was served their food (also crepes) before us!!
I was so hungry & upset!
When the crepes finally arrived, it was lackluster. Nothing special. The chocolate over powered the maple butter that was supposedly in my crepe. The texture of the crepe was rough & hard to cut.
Lovely little crêpe spot, perfect for breakfast. We ordered two savory crêpes & one chocolate-banana-strawberry with whipped cream-very satisfying for someone with a sweet tooth. Overall, the food exceeded my expectations, & the staff were friendly. A great way to start the day in Quebec City.
