If crêpes are more your thing, you’ll want to take a trip to Gino’s where they're being given away for FREE. That’s right, between 9am - 12pm, you can nab yourself a sugar & lemon or Nutella crêpes for absolutely zilch at participating locations like Cork’s Oliver Plunkett Street, St Patrick Street or Paul Street location.

If you don’t get there in time for the free ones, we suggest trying the Gino’s White Kinda Bueno crêpe with white kinda bueno chocolate spread with wafer crunch, nutella & hazelnuts. Yum.

Making them yourself?

If you're making them yourself, you'll find a selection of delicious recipes here, from Dutch Baby pancakes to celiac friendly versions.
