Chez Marcel
Proper French crêperie on Broad Street serving sweet and savoury galettes that actually taste like they've wandered straight out of Brittany.

You'll find yourself wedged between the Georgian architecture and independent shops of Broad Street, where Chez Marcel does the unglamorous work of making genuinely brilliant crêpes. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—locals know to duck in here for lunch or an afternoon treat, and the steady queue of regulars tells you everything. The crêpes are thin, proper, and made with real technique; whether you're after something savoury (ham and cheese, if you're being sensible) or sweet (Nutella and banana, if you're being honest), they nail the ratio of crispy edges to tender middle. There's a genuine French hospitality vibe here that feels neither pretentious nor trying too hard, just straightforward and welcoming.
