The delicate thin pancake, a source of joy for young and old alike and commonly known as \u201ccr\u00eape,\u201d somehow gets butchered and corrupted into \u201ccrape,\u201d and it irks me beyond words. Please, people, put some effort into it: \u201ccr\u00eape\u201d rhymes with step, prep, and schlepp. Got it?

Ok, now that today\u2019s linguistics lesson is out of the way, let\u2019s dive into Beirut\u2019s best specimens of the sweet crepe. Consider it a homage to the recently-deceased Michele Ferrero, inventor of Nutella, whose chocolaty spread remains the perfect complement to the French pancake.<\/big>

1. The Buckwheat-Flour Nutella Crepe at Cafe Diem<\/big><\/big><\/b>

For a classical French crepe, Carpe (Caf\u00e9) Diem in Sodeco is your best bet. The cute gourmet caf\u00e9, owned by the same folks behind Classic Burger Joint, makes one dazzling buckwheat-flour Nutella crepe that doesn\u2019t scream soggy like most of its street vendor counterparts. It\u2019s griddled to a perfect crisp, packs a delicious hazelnut-chocolate taste, and oozes with that creamy gooeyness we all know and adore. A solid 10\/10.<\/big>

2. The Fettuccini Crepe at Dip ‘n Dip<\/big><\/big><\/b>

For something less traditional, dip \u2018n dip will satisfy your creative crepe craving. The name says it all: the Fettuccini Crepe is a crepe cut up into fettuccini-like strips, topped with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled with the chocolate of your choice and – get this – as much of it as you want. No really, you can literally make it a chocolate soup with crepe strips if that’s what you want to do. We, however, recommend treating the chocolaty topping exactly as such\u2014a topping. <\/big>

3. The Crepico<\/big><\/big><\/b>

There\u2019s a newbie in town, and it goes by the name of Crepico. Adorably decorated inside and out like a Southern pastry shop, the teal-hued space serves an extensive menu of crepes, pancakes, waffles, ice cream and smoothies. Go for Crepico\u2019s namesake, an endearing crepe formed into a parcel filled with marshmallows, Galaxy and Kinder chocolates, and crowned with liquid chocolate. A scoop of ice cream is offered to temper the sugar rush.<\/big>

4. The Mosaic at Ci Gusta!<\/big><\/big><\/b>

Ci Gusta! in Hamra is not all about gelato, though you probably want to check that out on a dedicated ice cream visit. Today, however, might I recommend their crepe selection, where artwork takes center stage. The Mosaic features two different fillings: on one side, cloyingly sweet strawberry compote garnished with fresh strawberries; on the other, a sheet of liquid white and milk chocolate fashioned into a patterned mural. It\u2019ll take you several minutes before you allow yourself to dive into that masterpiece.<\/big>

5. The Cannelle at Crepaway<\/big><\/big><\/b>

I bet you\u2019re wondering if and when I\u2019m going to pay reverence to the empire of crepes in Lebanon, a storied local chain whose history and name indicate it originally debuted with a focus exclusively on the French pancake. Crepaway is indeed a mainstay of Lebanese dining, though today it has evolved into a full-service diner with light and gluten-free options for the most stringent among us. But don\u2019t neglect their sweet crepes, all eight of whose names are inspired by those of French girls. My favorite is the Cannelle, a reinvented cinnamon-apple crumble with luscious cheesecake filling. Aromatic. Fragrant. Heavenly.<\/big>
