La Crêpe Michel

Frommer's Review

Locals love this small cafe tucked away in a secluded walkway not far from the plaza, where the food is fun and imaginatively prepared. Run by chef Claudie Zamet-Wilcox from France, it has a cozy, informal European feel, with checked table coverings and simple furnishings. Service is friendly and calm, which makes this a good place for a romantic meal. You can't miss with any of the crepes. The crêpe aux fruits de mer (blend of sea scallops, bay scallops, and shrimp in a velouté sauce with mushrooms) is especially nice, as is the crêpe à la volaille (chunks of chicken in a cream sauce with mushrooms and Madeira wine). For a heartier meal, try one of the specials listed on the board on the wall, such as the beef filet (tenderloin finished with either black peppercorn-brandy cream sauce or Roquefort-brandy cream sauce) or the saumon au poivre vert (filet of salmon with green peppercorn-brandy sauce). Both are served with vegetables cooked just enough to leave them crisp and tasty. For dessert, don't leave without having a crêpe aux fraises (strawberry crepe). To accompany your meal, choose from a carefully planned beer and wine menu.
