Hablingbo Crêperie

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The First Crêperie on Gotland

Hablingbo Crêperie opened its doors in the summer of 2001 as the first crêperie on Gotland, and more than two decades later it remains one of the island's most-loved summer restaurants. The team — Åsa, Mina, and Santo Magonza — have never chased trends. As they put it themselves, the ambition has always been to offer "a relaxed place with an exotic touch that lets you glide a little more gracefully into summer."

What was once a barn has been transformed into a large, airy dining room where the original grain names still appear on the boards that double as booth dividers. The space is well-swept and freshly painted, elegant and simple in equal measure — and the White Guide, which recommends the restaurant in its 2026 edition, captures it well: "Elegant and simple in perfect harmony."

Buckwheat Pancakes, Sweet Crêpes, and a French Accent

The draw is straightforward: good buckwheat pancakes and sweet crêpes, prepared by an almost entirely French-style staff led by Santo Magonza. Beyond the crêpes, simple dishes round out the menu, and French cider is naturally on offer at the bar. Families with children, campers, cyclists, and glampers all find their way here — there is room for everyone, including a large veranda, a small slide, a boules court, and a water bowl for the dog.

Special occasions get their own treatment: Bastille Day on 14 July is celebrated with live music and a set three-course menu, a fitting nod to the French inspiration that has shaped the place from the start.

Ceramics with a Golden Edge

The restaurant is also home to the work of ceramicist Åsa Lindström, whose handmade tiles with intricate patterns line the bar counter and frame the kitchen. Her signature mugs — decorated with decal motifs and a wide gold rim — are sold in the on-site shop during the summer season. The ceramics are not decoration for decoration's sake; they are woven into the fabric of the place, giving every surface a considered, artisan quality that sets Hablingbo apart from an ordinary pancake stop.
