A method of and apparatus for folding food articles in sheet form such as crepes, includes allowing a crepe to drop by gravity from the end of an upper conveyor on which the crepe is transported from a cooking apparatus, catching the crepe in a hollow casing configured to cause the crepe to fold over on itself along a line perpendicular to the direction of movement of the crepe on the conveyor, and passing the folded crepe, folded edge first, between the bite of a pair of vertically displaced, horizontally disposed feed rollers, whose axes are perpendicular to the direction of movement of the crepe on the conveyor, for feeding the folded crepe onto the upper surface of a lower conveyor. To facilitate the folding operation, the crepes traveling on the upper conveyor may be softened prior to the folding operation by passing the crepes through a humidifying tunnel.
