• Europe: In Italy, crêpes are known as “crespelle” and are often filled with ricotta cheese and spinach. Spain has “filloas,” typically served with honey or jam. Belgium enjoys “galettes” as street food. In Russia, blini, a version of crêpes, are central to the Maslenitsa festival.
• Asia: Japan has embraced “Harajuku-style crêpes,” overstuffed and vibrant street food.
• North America: In Canada, crêpes are a staple in sugar shacks during maple syrup season.
• Latin America: In Mexico, crepes con cajeta are a sweet treat, topped with a caramel-like goat’s milk sauce.
• India: Inspired by crêpes, dosa is a savory version made with fermented rice and lentil batter, often filled with spiced potatoes.

Each country has adapted crêpes to reflect local tastes and traditions, showcasing the dish’s versatility.
