Crêpes were delicious! Homemade chocolate sauce was very good. The cook was also working as a server so very busy, but still had time to speak to us- very friendly and welcoming.Reasonably priced, high quality, good service! What more could you want! Bon appétit!

How about if I told you was a place in Hull that served top quality classic French bistro food at great prices, run by a friendly chef who can’t do enough for you? Well it exists! Le Crepier Papin! 4 of us had been to the football and were peckish, we suggested this place because we’d been in the past and had never been disappointed but I’d genuinely just how good this place is. We didn’t book but it was early so there was a table for us, we ordered cold, bottled, reasonably priced beer straight away and then ordered our food. The menu isn’t massive but it doesn’t need to be. There’s a few starters, several French classics, burgers, savoury and sweet crepes and that’s it but there’s definitely something for everyone. We ordered beef bourguignon, beef stroganoff, a Cajun chicken burger and a cheese burger, it was all cooked in the kitchen infront of us and brought to the table fresh and hot. Within 15 minutes there were 4 clean plates, couldn’t fault the food in anyway. Will be back.

The food here is amazing, homemade with quality ingredients. It really is Hull’s hidden Gem. Been going regularly as it’s the best food around and has such a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Went to this restaurant yesterday and had a lovely 3 course meal, the host Joe was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Would highly recommend, food was excellent. We will be visiting again soon. Thanks.

I'm having a few days break in Hull and when I saw there was a French-style creperie in buzzy Newland Avenue I though that was a must try. Creperies can be a bit hit and miss but this one is a palpable hit. Host Joe has set up a real provincial French ambience, comfortable and informal, and the menu doesn't disappoint. My savoury galette filled with spicy chicken was delicious, filling and very reasonably priced, and a glass of Merlot was the perfect accompaniment. The only worry was that, on a chilly, dank Tuesday evening I was the only customer. Maybe it was the weather but please give Joe some more love because he deserves it and because this place is a wee gem. Joe, if it comes to the crunch relocate to Glasgow because you'll go down a treat there, they have nothing quite like it.
Another outstanding meal @ Joe’s.We came along this time with some friends from the Ukraine who ordered the carbonara crepe … they said it was the best carbonara they’d tasted. Joe is a master chef and I’d highly recommend his stroganoff - this time I had the goats cheese crepe with Halloumi Fries and it was top notch fayre ! If it’s your first visit here you’ve got to try the Joe Burger !

I've been going here for almost 12 years since it opened and I honestly can't recall ever being let down. Good, big portions and well priced for what you get which are larger portions than most places. Friendly, helpful and personable owner and staff in my experience. They also sell alcohol. Make sure to ring or message in advance so the owner can arrange you a time and date for your visit.Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian optionsGluten free optionKid-friendliness: Good for families and children

We had to visit two nights in a row as the food was so lovely, I recommend that everyone makes a visit and you will definitely be back again. The prices are really good aswell I personally think they should be charging more for what you get. The chef and waitress are also lovely, definitely an experience to remember. I am still thinking about the salmon ?

A bit of a mixed experience really. While some of the food we had was nice, the mushroom starter and the Tartiflette was nice, if a little overly greasefilled, we were put on the back foot a little because the website doesn't match the actual menus in the restaurant. My parents ordered a Stroganoff and while it was ok, it wasn't really a Stroganoff and was more of a bourguignon.In addition we had a bit of an unfortunate incident as the food took quite a while to come out to the point that by the time we were able to finish the main, the place was closing and we were informed that no desserts could be made which sort of put a dampener on the entire visit. A bit of a shame really as we were quite looking forward to the trip.

We've been visiting for years now. This sooo much more than a crêperie!Wholesome French comfort food, perfectly executed.A true hidden gem, the service, food and atmosphere genuinely sets Le Crêpier Papin apart from the rest.
