Crêperie Beaurepaire — Restaurant in Lille

Very good crepes, gets pretty busy, reservations strongly recommended

People with food allergies should avoid this restaurant. My daughter had a severe reaction to a pancake that was said to be gluten-free. For that reason she had to be treated in the emergency room.

A professional kitchen like this should never serve allergens to allergic people. Besides, it shouldn’t be presented on the ‘sans gluten’ menu anyway. People must be able to rely on products and information from professional restaurants in the EU...
