What People Are Saying About La Creperie

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.

Reviews are overstated

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

nutella crepe - yum!
by buffy1976 at Citysearch
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

The worst creperie ever!
by q101madmax at Citysearch
From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed by the smell of urine, cover your noses especially when you walk through the dirty old corridor to the non-smoking room in the back. Unfriendly, slow service. Dirt and smell of old, dusty furniture. My friend had coq au vin crepe - she had to force herself to have a second bite, she was so hungry. I had seafood crepe. The ingredients on menu were: shrimp and scallops. I'm honest as can be, there was shrimp (about 10, tasted like rubber) and one scallop. I had to look for it, it was half the size of my nail. I didn't taste the scallop, maybe it was something else altogether. We asked for check after the first bite and went to a nearby place for best waffles in the world - BALADOCHE - saved my morning and made my day.
- Pros: What?
- Cons: Everything
