The Paris Olympics may have passed the torch onto L.A., but at Time Out Market Boston, French vibes are still going strong. Just more than a month since opening at the Fenway food hall, PRB Boulangerie has added crêpes to its tableau of authentic French breakfast, lunch and snack offerings.
Thin pancakes filled or topped with a variety of sweet or savory additions, crêpes are a specialty from Brittany, France, the northwesternmost region of the country and where PRB Boulangerie partners, Loic Le Garrec and Arnaud Abdoun, are from. “We're very happy because we wanted to do this for a while now, launching the crêpes, but it's hard to add a unique product” to existing operations, Le Garrec says.
PRB Boulangerie has standalone bakeries in Somerville, Cambridge and Boston, but crêpes are exclusive to the Time Out Market outpost—and a great addition to the dynamic food hall, Le Garrec adds. Griddled to order, “the fact that we are prepping them for the customers really attracts a lot of people just to see what's going on,” he says.

Chef Hoel Le Goff, another Brittany expat who works at Le Garrec’s Kendall Square brasserie, Batifol, developed the recipes for PRB Boulangerie crêpes. The savory varieties—with edges folded over fillings like salmon and cream cheese; or Swiss cheese, ham and egg—are made with buckwheat flour imported from France, a traditional grain that imparts a heftier chew and deeper flavor to savory crȇpes, Le Garrec says. Sweet versions use standard white flour for a lighter taste, alongside fillings like Nutella, honey and lemon or caramel beurre salé (salted butter caramel).
For now, PRB’s crêperie—situated next to the boulangerie inside Time Out Market—is operating from 11am–8pm daily. “Because we just started a week ago, once we have a team in place we may start at 9am because people like [crêpes] for breakfast,” Le Garrec says.
Stay tuned for any updates about hours. But whenever you try one of these new offerings at Time Out Market, you're in for a traditional treat.
