Editorial Review for La Creperie – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A fixture since 1972, this French spot exudes a romantic feel, with wooden tables and simple red and white plates. Onion soup gratinee is a flavorful starter, but the focus is on savory and sweet crepes. Favorites include ratatouille crepe filled with squash, zucchini, eggplant, onion and carrots, and seafood crepe with shrimp and scallops in a light cream sauce. For dessert, the Grand Marnier crepe is fluffy and moist, seasoned with liqueur.

I'm traveling on business and took a cab to this place based on the reviews. It was good - but not worth the $30 cab fare (round trip)...The chicken curry crepe was fine but they couldn't kick it up (as requested). Instead, I was brought a bottle of hot sauce. The chocolate crepe for dessert was OK - but the crepe was hard to cut - which to me is counter intuitive for a crepe. This place is fine if you're out and about in Chicago and need to grab lunch - but I wouldn't go out of my way.
Pros: Quaint back patio area
Cons: Food was mediocre - not worth a special trip

This is a regular Saturday night stop for my husband and I. You will have to wait for a table, but you can sit at the bar and have a drink. The atmosphere is lovely, the waitstaff is attentive, and the crepes are fantastic. In the summertime, it is definitely worth the wait to sit out on the outdoors patio in the back. I highly recommend the french onion soup and save room for dessert- order the nutella crepe- you will thank me!
Pros: Outdoor seating, good date night
Cons: you will have to wait to be seated
