I have eaten here several times when I am in Knoxville. Small but adorable restaurant with authentic French flair and cuisine. The crepes are absolutely deliciously! ! I love the lemon butter by the way. They have both sweet and savory deepest. They also have outdoor seating when the weather is nice. I have also tried their coffee and French... More

The French market is my new favorite place to go! The crepes are amazing! I like to order 2 or 3 and share with whoever I'm with so I don't have to just eat one kind. I have been ordering crepes in every other restaurant that has them and there is just no possible comparison. My kids even love them!

My favorite restaurant in downtown Knoxville by far. The sweet cream and strawberry crepe is killer. The French bread and Brie appetizer is to die for and must be tried.

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for lunch. She had the daily special crepe, and I had the hummus crepe and both were absolutely first rate. The staff was welcoming, and the crepes appeared very quickly at our table. One not only is surprised to find a great little place like this in... More

My husband and I came here for dessert and coffee one night. I had the strawberries & cream crepe, and substituted chocolate sauce for almonds. It was delicious! The crepe was tender and flavorful and was full of strawberries and the most amazing cream filling. My husband had the blueberry crepe with lemon curd, and he enjoyed his as well.... More

My husband and I stopped in Knoxville for breakfast and were not disappointed. I experienced the best crepe that I have ever had. I highly reccommend the egg, spinach, and cheese crepe. Well worth the money and the stop among our travels.

This is my favorite place in Knoxville to go for a great dessert crepe! Anytime I go downtown for dinner or for a visit, I can leave without stopping by the French Market. Last year when we went to Paris, we were excited to have crepes every chance we get because of our great experience at the French Market. Sadly,... More

We had breakfast there on Easter morning and it was amazing. The crepes were delicious! They were savory and sweet but not too heavy or too rich. Loved the atmosphere and staff as well. The patio was heated which was nice due to the slight chill in the air. The staff were so nice I even witnessed the waiter bring... More
