Atmosphere makes the meal at La Creperie. The crepes are tasty, yes, but part of the fun of dining here is the drama. It’s hard to sweep through the front door and not feel as though you’re making a grand entrance in some fabulous Francois Truffaut film. Prime seating is located in the front, where not much has changed since the cafe first opened in 1972: dark wood everything (bar included), flirty tea lights and soft music. The back patio is almost as moody, cramped and character-driven. This is an excellent choice for a second or third date. The best of the savory crepes include the chicken and mushroom, curry chicken, and coq au vin, which are folded, not rolled. Don’t resist ordering a warm, gooey Nutella crepe for dessert. And what would a French bistro be if it didn’t offer steak frites, pate or escargot? Wink, wink.

"One of my favorite things about La Creparie was the staff-our waiter spoke with a heavy French accent, and whether or not it was real (I think it was....), it made the experience feel even more authentic! I went for lunch on a week day with a few Chicago natives, and had the nutella and strawberries crepe for lunch. It was amazing. Rocked my world. My friend had goats cheese and ham, which was also delicious. I highly recommend this little gem!"

French flair and flavor

"The crepes are delicious. For an anniversary dinner, our group shared a cheese platter for a starter which I followed by a crepe of chicken curry with a nutella crepe for dessert. I was thoroughly satisfied by the menu choices which were varied while still including some expected European influences. Just as memorable as the meal was the atmosphere. I felt like I was in a Parisian cafe with it’s charmingly French decor. I recommend to everyone."
