Description: This restaurant is extremely popular with tourists and locals alike and there is often a line up at the door of people waiting for a table. The interior is filled with dark wood and slate rock walls and has a real homey feel to it. It is divided into a couple of small rooms with tables and/or booths.
I chose to sit at the counter in the main room because I didn’t want to wait nor did I think it was fair for one person to take up a table when there so many groups and couples waiting. The best part about counter service was watching the cook making crepes on the griddle and boy, did she work hard! She was constantly in
motion as she poured the batter in a thin stream onto a round stove top griddle and then
used a wooden tool to spread the batter in an ever widening circle until it covered the
whole of the griddle. While those cooked, she was busy making thick sliced French toast,
eggs, etc. She could have used help but there wasn’t room for two in the small cooking
area and the waitresses were run off their feet anyway.
The menu wasn’t large - soups,
sandwiches, salads, omelets and of course, crepes. These are the star attraction and are made to order and priced according to the number of filling ingredients - usually between
$4.00 and $6.00. Choices include peppers, cheese, ham, onions, spinach, mushrooms,
asparagus, tomato sauce, etc. There are also dessert or fruit crepes including fresh
banana, strawberry, blueberry or raspberry. I had a delicious cheese and mushroom crepe
that was very filling and cost $3.85 (CDN) - definitely a bargain.
The restaurant is
licensed for alcohol but since the morning air was cool, I ordered a large cafe au lait. It
was served in a bowl so did double duty - my morning caffeine as well as a hand warmer.
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Credit cards are not accepted
but they do accept automatic bank debit cards.
