La Creperie

Frommer's Review

Germain and Sara Roignant have run this intimate gem of a cafe since 1972, never straying from the reasonably priced crepes that have won them a loyal following. The decor is heavy on '70s-era brown, but if you find the main dining room too dark, head to the back patio (enclosed in colder months), which sparkles with strings of white lights. Onion soup, pâté, and escargot are all good starters, but the highlights here are the whole-wheat crepes -- each prepared on a special grill that Germain imported from his native Brittany. Single-choice fillings include cheese, tomato, egg, or ham; tasty duets feature chicken and mushroom or broccoli and cheese. Beef bourguignon, coq au vin, and curried chicken are the more adventurous crepe combinations. Non-crepe offerings are few: orange roughy and steak frites. Don't leave without sharing one of the dessert crepes, which tuck anything from apples to ice cream within their warm folds.
