My wife says she would like a good crepe.

Chez Imogene was the best we had. Walkable from the Republique train station on a sleepy side street. Tiny place, although maybe not by Paris standards. Their dessert crepe du jour was made with melted specaloos and ice creams and was fantastic.

Lulu la nantaise near Canal St. Martin was really good too. Worth checking out if y'all are in the area.

In lieu of restaurants what other food ideas do you recommend?

They seem to pride themselves on fresh baguettes with quality meats and cheeses. I wouldn't hesitate to order a sandwich to-go (jambon and brie FTW) and find a scenic place to eat them. It amazing how they can put no condiments on their sandwiches, yet they aren't dry at all because of the emphasis on quality ingredients.
