La Creperie: User Reviews

not what we hoped for...

My boyfriend and I stopped by for crepes last weekend and were really disappointed. The crepes were overcooked and submerged in rum. The bananas were overripe and the ice cream looked as if it had come straight from a box. To make matters worse, the waiter did not bat an eyelash over our utter disappointment.

Over-all the atmosphere is charming, but that's about it. Service was friendly, but not so prompt. Coffee was good. We had a breakfast crepe and a sweet crepe. They weren't the best, most flavorful crepes I've ever had. I would, however, STRONGLY recommend going to the Crepe & Coffee Palace a few blocks down the street (south) at 2433 N. Clark instead. Down the list the crepes/experience is better: atmosphere, variety, food, service!

La Creperie was a huge disappointment. Went there last week after seeing a film at the Century. We had the worst service possible. It looked like there was only one waitress working. It took her forever to come over to our table and on one came by to fill our water glasses or ask if we wanted more wine. By the way, the wine was not good. We had a chicken crepe and a beef crepe. The crepes were dry and the sauces tasted like salty Campbell's soup. Beware, if you are hungry, the portions are very tiny, so this is not a cheap dinner. For dessert we ordered banana nutella crepes which were tasty, although the crepes were dry, and we ordered coffee which our waitress never came by to refill.

When I have a craving for casual French fare, this is the place that comes to mind. What I love most is the relaxed unpretentious atmosphere. The food is a great value, and the service is friendly.

Went on Valentine's Day and it was great! I ordered the steak & frites which were excellent! My dessert crepe was wonderful too! Excellent wine and service and we'll be back!

I have gone to this place several times over the past decade and have to say that I always leave disappointed. Last night we had nutella and bananas crepe and received what looked and tasted like a day old, cardboard tasting 'dessert.' Atmosphere is warm, but that's about it, much better crepes at Crepe & Coffee Place (2433 N. Clark).

Overall rating:

My family has been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years and it has maintained high quality, simple French fare since the beginning. The crepes are perfectly thin, the wine list is varied and compliments the food well, and the service leaves nothing to be desired. The ambience is warm and inviting - the perfect place to bring a date. Come early to enjoy a glass of wine at the very welcoming bar.
