Vive La Crepe

Best Crepe's in the city!

I love coming back for the Turkey crepe as well as all of the dessert crepes. The NY strip steak crepe is awesome as well. You can't go wrong!

• Pros: Ambience
• Cons: Do not offer the option of half of a dinner and half dessert crepe all the time.

Charming, romantic Evanston room draws local couples for wallet-friendly, French-inspired fare.

The Scene
Wrought-iron chandeliers, hardwood floors and lemon-yellow walls hung with whimsical paintings give this room an updated bistro feel. Low lighting and warm service add a hint of romance, making this a cozy, centrally located spot for tea or a casual date.

The Food
The hearty menu offers tempting starters like baked Brie en croute, French onion soup, and decadent duck-stuffed mushrooms with sweet basil-cream sauce. Most people are for the signature crepes, though. Light-as-air and served open-faced, they're piled high with American-style fillings that range from New York strip and chicken marsala to asparagus, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes in sinful bacon-cream sauce. Entree options include tilapia with lemon-caper-butter sauce and chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese. Pancakes and egg dishes are available for breakfast and assorted wraps at lunch. Dessert crepes offer a sweet finish, filled with raspberry, bananas Foster, or Nutella with vanilla-bean ice cream.

We really enjoyed a pre-Father's Day brunch at this new FABULOUS restaurant in Evanston. The NY Strip Mushroom Crepe and Chicken Marsala Crepe were so delicious. We topped it off with the Chocolate Crepe - divine! Mellow ambiance, simple and a great value. Highly recommended!
