La Crepe is a relatively new restaurant downtown that specializes in crepes. They have a few stools inside and one table outside, but mostly, it’s a take-out joint.
They have two sides of the menu: sweet, classic crepes, and savoury buckwheat crepes. I ordered the Parisienne from the savoury side (“French Emmental, ham, side up egg”).
A whole bunch of gooey cheese, ham, and an egg is always going to be a tasty combo. You cannot go wrong there. It’s impossible. They also peppered it pretty aggressively, which complemented the other ingredients well. It’s quite tasty.
The crepe was a little disappointing, though. The best buckwheat crepes have a light exterior crispiness and a chewy interior; this one was was just kinda dry throughout, despite being freshly made.
Still, it certainly wasn’t bad, and was a nice vehicle for the tasty stuff within. It may not have blown my mind, but it was a solid meal.
