La Creperie

Goat cheese crepe

After the ravings I heard from a friend, a trip to La Creperie was in order for a Sunday brunch. The owner is very French. And the people working there are also very French (at least the French ones). This I am told by my French dining partner. That is a good sign of some authenticity.

The crepes were nice. Not too thick, but could be a little thinner. Perhaps I ordered "the wrong one" or one of the misses on the menu. The salad with walnuts and goat cheese was meager, though there was more goat cheese embedded in the crepe. The mushroom, bacon, and cream crepe sitting across from me looked way more attractive. Looking around, it did appear that the crepe menu was either a hit or miss. We did not opt for the brunch deal instead paying 78RMB and 72RMB for our respective crepes. My French dining partner did not make any indication if this creperie was complete crap or really good, giving a somewhat average impression of the place. Or this could be the French attitude.

Leaving somewhat satisfied from the light meal, the price matching the value is still debatable. More should be sampled from the menu to give these crepes a better judgment.
