the pursuit of favorites: crepes 'n crepes

may 12, 2011

after handsome picked me up from the airport, we headed the crepes 'n crepes for lunch (where we planned to eat dinner the night before). handsome had eaten here before with his parents and thought that it would be a yummy place for us to eat together. it was downtown in a cute area that has a lot of shops and restaurants and the road is closed to most vehicles. no needing to worry about crazy drivers while walking in the street!

the inside was super cute and felt slightly cottage like. i dont know what france looks like, but i feel like it would look like this!

we decided to share two different crepes, a savory one for lunch and a sweet one for dessert. the savory one we got was tomates avec oignons, basilic, et ail provencal (sauteed tomatoes, onions, basil and garlic). it was very delicious and came with two different sauces to put on it. the green one is a pecan pesto and the red one is roasted red pepper and eggplant. i preferred the green sauce and handsome liked both sauces mixed together. the crepe was very delicious and would be super yummy if chicken was added. handsome wished the red pepper was spicier and thought the tomatoes were a bit runny. i wished that it was stuffed with more deliciousness, but my stomach probably does not need it to be overflowing with food ha! overall, it was very delicious, but we would like to try another kind the next time we go there.

the dessert crepe we got was banane and fraises avec creme fouettee, nutella (banana and strawberries with cream cheese and nutella). this was definitely my favorite one! it was stuffed with so much deliciousness that it nearly exploded when you would try and cut a small bite. the cream cheese part was definitely the best. i tried to save those bites for last! handsome said that you definitely have to go for the cream cheese and chocolate mix. he got a plain chocolate one the first time he went and feels that the cream cheese adds necessary deliciousness.

i also decided to try a nutella hot chocolate because it was calling my name from the menu and i was worn out from my traveling adventure. it was super delicious! the only thing i did not like about it was that the nutella taste left by the time i got to the bottom of the cup. and then it tasted a bit more liquory that i would have liked, but it was very much worth the try!

everything was so delicious that we gobbled up every last bite! the next time i visit i would like it to be a beautiful day (it was raining when we went) and i would like to sit out on the patio. the patio was super cute and inviting. they also have happy hour from 3-6 on wednesday through saturday where they have half off most of their crepes. one day i will enjoy it!

love.
