They were able to quickly seat our party of 7 shortly after we arrived. The staff was cheerful & personable. They provided recommendations for cider which was excellent as well as help us to connect to wifi. Our favorite dishes were the french onion soup (my son said it was the best soup he has ever had & we ordered a second), the salad (simple but delicious dressing), & the dessert crepes. Several people in our party commented on the atmosphere being pleasant.
Rather intimate & quaint, as expected from name, this place has good crepes at fair prices, especially the chef special. If you get savory, I suggest the buckwheat, as the somewhat sweet farina doesn't quite fit. Surprisingly for tourist row, most patrons seem to be speaking French, & waiters, though quite competent, also seemed to prefer it- which is what I look for in Oder to hear & practice a bit.
Look no further. This is the one you are searching for! My family loved the savory (ham & cheese) & the sweet (banana & nutella) crepes. The french onion & split pea soup was also splendid. Also the coffee & hot chocolate (chocolat chaude) were terrific. The prices were fair. The ambiance is local & authentic. We tried a lot of local cuisine, & this was tops.
We've eaten here 6-7 times in 2.5 years, every time we visit QC. We have the same beautiful server sweet accommodating us & our food allergies in English/French, with fast, courteous service. As a celiac, they serve me great food with no problem & I appreciate it because the crepes are delicious here. You will be full, make sure you get their homemade whipped sweet yogurt topping, & the crispy thin sliced, generous serving of bacon.
Stumbled in here on a very cold morning. Although I'm certain that English could be spoken, I decided to make all suffer through my horrible French. I got everything I ordered, plus coffee, which I didn't THINK I ordered, (because I really don't like coffee). Turns out I DO like it, when it's done well. It would be a great end to the review if that was the highlight of the visit, but the food (eggs, sausage, toast, boring choices, I know) was absolutely stellar, & the service was one of many high points of our visit. An absolute don't miss stop!
