I was with a traveler that lived in Chicago and had been coming to La Creperie since 1974. He said the decor hadn't changed much, and the owner hadn't either! Food was exceptional, drinks were good and strong, and atmosphere was outstanding. If you are expecting corporate foodservice, it isn't here! The owner greeted his customers, and by the end... More

La Creperie restaurant has been in my Chicago neighborhood for 20+ years, and it has been about that long since I was there last. Decided to go there last night as we were going to a movie at the multiplex across the street. On a Sunday evening we had immediate seating but had to wait quite a while for a... More

Went back to this restaurant that I used to go to weekly back in the 80's when I lived in Chicago. Well....it has definitely survived the times....because it's still just as good & just as fun!! More

Loved the crepes. Would recommend the Flan crepe for dessert: my wife and I love good Flan and bread puddings, and found a flan/crepe combination very tasty. Crepes here easily as good as or better than those we consumed frequently in Paris last summer. More

I was visiting from out of town with my husband, mother, and 17-year-old niece. She wanted a crepe, and we found this place on Yelp. It sounded like a local favorite, and a lot of people compared it to an authentic French patisserie. Sold. It was easy to find on Clark, a major thoroughfare in Lincoln Park. We found plenty... More

Aren't crepes supposed to be light and somewhat moist with their inner contents? Mine was dry and hard to cut with their dull table knifes. The contents of my crepe were bland bland bland. They get points for a cool decaying decor, but other then that maybe they just don't try with their food. More

We have been going here for the past 8 to 10 years and it is our annual tradition after the parade in Chicago. The food while it remains wonderful and a great value for the fresh crepes, the service has just not been there the past couple years. The food is great but the service needs to improve. Long waits... More
