Such an amazing place, a true gem of Chicago!! Must haves include the French Onion Soup, the Chicken, Tomato and Goat Cheese Crêpe, the Bouf Borginion Crêpe, and the Banana and Nutella crêpe

chicken mushroom is a little thicker now and has a nice mustardy kick. really Good. ask them to bring back the Coq au vin. dessert MUST have Suzette a la Germain (with Grand Marnier).

If you're lucky (around 7-9pm) you might catch live music + vocals from a trio of French (maybe Italian?) musicians. Also, you've had Nutella Crepes. Try the savory ones and don't skip the Ice Cream!

Go on a Tuesday when the French onion soup is especially amazing. (They always make it the night before, but they're closed on Mondays so the soup on Tuesday has had a vital, extra day to rest.)

La Crêperie has been a long-standing favorite in Lakeview and for good reason, but when it comes to the brunch menu, it’s a far cry from what we desired. Read more

Crepes are so good here but it’s the best French onion soup you can find, especially if you like it loaded with cheese!
Randy EllisMay 26, 2013
If savory is your choice, try the Poulet au curry with the mango chutney. Great crepe with a Indian twist!

Half price bottles of wine on Tuesday nights. Free chocolate crepe with same-day movie ticket stub from Landmark Theater across the street.

Asperge et champignons avec sauce mornay (Asparagus & mushrooms in a mornay sauce) and Banana Sara (Bananas in a brown sugar caramel sauce topped with rum & vanilla ice cream). Freaken AMAZING!!!

Try the Curry Chicken Crepe - Poulet au curry: Great flavors, mango chutney was a great addition. Sorry, will take a photo next time.

This jewel of a bistro has been around since the early 70s. Owned by a Northern Frenchman, the food and atmosphere will remind you of visitin Paris.www.lacreperieusa.com

Crepes are delicious. Try BananaSara, their speciality. Nutella crepe was decent as well.
Raksha RavikumarMarch 19, 2014
Chris, one of the servers, is outrageously friendly. And the Crème Caramel he suggested was delicious, though that wasn't surprising at all.
Duffee MaddoxAugust 25, 2017
Very romantic brunch location, beautiful and green back outside area. Crepes were a little dark for my taste.
Eduardo SalinasOctober 27, 2016
A bit off the brunch beaten path, but worth it.
Ryan HackettFebruary 9, 2014
Every time I'm here I feel like I'm in an independent film. Recommended: Croque Madame or crepe complete. So good.

The curry crepe and mushroom crepe were awesome! Try to French beer and wine too!

Service here can be hit or miss, but the food is great. For brunch, try the crepe Florentine, my absolute favourite!

The curry cream sauce in the "Poulet au Curry" is unbelievably decadent. I cannot recommend it enough.
Jean WillJanuary 18, 2014
For a romantic dinner ask for the table in front of the fireplace savory chicken and mushroom crepe are delicious
Ajay SalpekarMarch 2, 2014
Nutella Crepe is fantastic. Get it with ice cream.

A sour waiter in the front room cast a pall on the experience.
Tim YearoutOctober 12, 2011
Banana sara is average at best. And though it is a French-inspired restaurant, I was surprised by the waiter who was essentially a French-inspired dick. This is a picture of him.

Tell your friends you were a part of history (just by filling your belly!) - La Creperie is the oldest creperie in the USA.
Twisha Shah-BrandenburgJune 15, 2012
The dessert crepes are way better. Try nutella, banana and strawberry. Yum!
J-C KortlevenAugust 24, 2013
Exxxxcellent and have been there often. Toi bad & sad It was the last night tonight!
Jeremy PettetFebruary 21, 2010
Ask for the chestnut purée with a crème anglaise crepe. If they have the purée you'll be glad you asked!
