What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Creperie La Madeleine is praised for its authentic Breton galettes and sweet crepes, using quality ingredients. Diners also appreciate the cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and unique cider selection, making it a charming spot in Potsdam. However, some reviews mention potential service struggles and longer wait times due to limited seating, and one review noted a less-than-ideal baked potato.
"Walk the door and travel to Brittany!
Soups, quiches and crepes (both savory and sweet) are on the menu, and they are all incredibly well balanced and delicious! Me and my wife shared an onion soup in 2 (we wanted to make sure we had enough room for the savory crepes) and it was very tasty, yet quote light. After that, we got a mushroom, fresh cheese and spring onions crepe, and a beef carpaccio one, with arugula, emmental cheese and balsamic vinegar - both fantastic. We had some of the cider, also from the Breton region, which was very good!
We closed our lunch with a sugar crepe with vanilla ice cream to share: in its simplicity, it was fantastic. The service was nice, the place is warm and welcoming. They can speak both German and English, no problem!
We highly recommend to book in advance - their website has a great booking service for that.
The only suggestion: please mark the items on the menu, so it's easier to know what is and what is not vegetarian or vegan! Nothing big of course, but it would be greatly appreciated!
We will come back soon! 😊"

"If I could give this place a 10-star review (out of 5), I'd do it without hesitation. Perfect atmosphere, friendly staff, the menu... well, the variety of delicious dishes is impressive. And all that for quite affordable prices.
I'll definitely come back and bring my friends with me!"

"A nice little place with excellent Galletes and Crepes!
We had 2 different Galletes and 2 different Crepes and they were all excellent, also prepared with top notch ingredients. Their ciders are among the best bottled ciders I’ve had!
Despite the few tables they struggle with service, so be prepared for longer waits. Also don’t bother to try the phone for reservations, no one will answer."

Potsdam beyond the palaces
Creperie La Madeleine has been specialising in Breton-style buckwheat galettes since long before they came into gluten-free vogue. Find an outdoor seat on Lindenstraße in the charming nördliche Innenstadt for optimal people-watching, and enjoy a masterfully folded Auvergnate (€9.50) with Roquefort, salad, walnuts and caramelised apples – careful, the tangy cheese gets rich fast – or a simpler Nordique (€9.80) with salmon, horseradish and lemon.
Gute Restaurants in Potsdam: Von gutbürgerlich bis gewagt
Mit herzhaft und süßen Variationen macht die Crêperie in Potsdams Altstadt alle satt und glücklich. Was auf den süßen hauchdünnen Teigteilchen landet, gerät aber fast ins Hintertreffen. Denn Madeleines Spezialität sind die bretonischen Galettes (Buchweizenpfannkuchen), für die das französische Buchweizenmehl „Blé Noir“ aus der Bretagne verwendet wird.
Creperie La Madeleine in Potsdam
Die Creperie La Madeleine in Potsdam kenne ich schon seit mehr als zehn Jahren. Ich war allerdings auch drei Jahre lang nicht mehr dort. Im April 2011 besuchten wir Potsdam und aßen bei La Madeleine, in den Lindenstraße, unweit des Holländischen Viertels.
