We only ate there once and then the next day he closed to go on a trip. This happened with several other tripadvisor recommended places that apparently close in the rainy season or have limited hrs. So if you go after May7 or so beware. Anyway, this was a treat. Had the ham, egg & cheese crepe that came with... More

You never know from one crepe place to the next whether or not you're starving belly will be full at the end. At Sel et Sucure you don't have to worry. The lovely French couple who runs this place makes an awesome crepe that both delights the taste buds and cures hunger. Enjoy.

This restaurant is our favorite in town! The Crepes are delicious and the salads are the best we have tasted in Costa Rica. Especially La green with avocado and chickpeas taste great. The food is made with good combinations and the taste is really pure. The owner Sebastian is a really nice guy and is always up for a chat.... More

Stopped in for a quick lunch. We have never had lunch crepes before and were very surprised how well they tasted. Maybe a bit pricey for the town, but worth it. A nice surprise on the Carribean coast!

I stopped in here recently and ordered the basic sugar/maple syrup crepe, and it was delicious! I actually ordered another it was so good. I had rescued a little puppy that was running around in the highway, and they didn't blink when I brought her in with me. Primo!

My daughter and I shared a banana split crepe and we each had a coffee as an afternoon snack while in Puerto Viejo. The crepe was really good. Good enough that I wish I had one all to myself. The Coffee was also excellent, which is surprisingly difficult to find in CR. I had originally snuck in to simply try... More

食事にはビーフとほうれん草の入ったクレープ(別の日にはスモークサーモンのクレープ)をいただき、デザートにはバナナフランベのクレープをいただきましたが、いずれも絶品!ドリンクも美味で、お店の雰囲気やBGMも良い感じでした。 店内にはコスタリカ観光に役立つ情報誌などもあり、スタッフの方はスペイン語、フランス語の他英語も話せるので、おすすめ観光スポット等を教えてくれるかもしれません。 For meal I had a crepe of beef and spinach (and the other day a crepe of smoked salmon), and a crepe of banana flambé for dessert. Both were very delicious ! Drinks also were very good, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the choice of musics were excellent. At the restaurant we can have a look at... More

We had several crêpes in this place and they were ALL absolutely delicious (whether sweet or salted crêpes)!! "La Forestière" was my personal favourite :-)
