A éviter a tout prix!!! Les galettes sont moyennes, sans goût, & assez molles pour des galettes de sarrasin. Bizarrement, la crêpe était luisante de matière grasse, qui faisait des petites flaques dans les plies de la galette. Cependant c'est la serveuse qui majoritairement contribué a cette expérience désastreuse! Au lieu de rajouter 20% de tip comme souhaitait ma grand-mere, elle a pris la machine & c'est rajouter 25-30% de tip! & quand confronter, m'a regardé méchamment. Au final, elle s'est rajoutée près de 26$ de tip!!! Expérience désastreuse. De plus, la patronne, en charge de la cuisson des crêpes, s'est moquée de clients qui lui faisait signe pour payer. Je comprends que ce n'est pas son rôle, mais s'ils faisaient signe c'est que la serveuse était partie en cuisine pendant plusieurs minutes!! Au lieu de se moquer, il aurait été approprié d'appeler la serveuse pour les assistés.
I have always loved this restaurant, which was around long before I lived in QUEBEC in the'80's. We visited today & had the nicest waitress. The chef whipped up our party's fantastic crêpes so quickly & they were all delicious. Sad to say, the custom of having the waitresses dress in traditional attire ended in 2020, but the little restaurant still had a quaint atmosphere.
Satisfying food. I ordered a savory crepe for meal, the portion & flavoring were just right. I was also delighted to find out I could order a small size sweet crepe for dessert! So I got a halzenut chocolate + ice cream crepe, very good too!
We went here in October 2022, I know, late for the review, but honestly I couldn't NOT write a review -- We LOVED it. Very kid friendly, no on-site parking (but really, what is...) but easy to find, & HIGHLY recommend. I wish we ate here twice! Huge menu, sweet, savoury, delicious soups, amazing crepes. & great prices!! We were a party of 6 & pleasantly surprised once the bill came. I loved how we could see the great staff making our crepes as we sat. Oh man, I'd go back just to eat here again!
