The traditional recipe is unique and each place will make it in its own way, but you will rarely be disappointed. What I can tell you is the best thing a crêpe should have to be well done.
There are several things to keep in mind. In France and for the most part, most crêpes or failing that, most galettes (savory) are usually made of buckwheat or wheat dough. First of all, a crêpe must taste buttery. If it has that taste, it is one of the main characteristics of an authentic French crêpe.
