Creperie de Paris — Restaurant in Redmond

I ordered the chicken pesto and the dark chocolate w/banana, and there were some problems. The chicken pesto was good but didn't wow me, but the chocolate crepe had a lot of banana, and not a lot of chocolate and didn't have the powdered sugar I ordered. It wasn't great. I ordered take out, and ordered well in advance so I could walk around the mall and set my pick-up time for 6 p.m. I arrived at about 5:50, and it took several minutes before anyone even greeted me. Then they had some trouble finding my order, and then realized it was already sitting on the counter. I should've known this would be a bad sign, because the order shouldn't have been made for another 10 minutes but it was already sitting there. Sure enough, the food was stone cold, so I had to reheat the crepes myself. Also, the salad that came with the pesto was put in the same box, right on top of the crepe separated by just a sheet of parchment paper. So I had 2 cold crepes and a warm salad, mediocre customer service, and only one of the crepes was actually good. Definitely wouldn't order take out again. I'd bet it'd be better eating there, but this experience was a turnoff so I don't know that they'll get another chance. edit: much later, I've come back to eat in person. The food was much better fresh, but still ultimately didn't wasn't amazing. A reasonable lunch, but I'll leave it at 3 stars since I've had mixed...

Location appears fully functional with an Old World charm featuring an eclectic, ever shifting music selection and basic atmospheric elements—utilitarian, clean, & simple; hardwood floor & round tables offer seating near the front of this modest café while providing space for larger groups to gather toward the back of the shop; Cushioned chairs & barstools are quite comfy, but provide little back support if settling in for a lengthy study/writing/art session or if you plan on doing computer work.

My Chef/Server’s name was Reda. I ordered a Strawberry Nutella crepe w/ whip cream & was very impressed with result. My plate looked like an artistic masterpiece & tasted just as delicious. I’ve been to this location on multiple occasions & highly recommend his tomato, basil, & mozzarella panini; ‘Norvegienne’ crepe; & salmon gyro (not on menu).

The Creperie also has an extensive collection of refrigerated beverages & hot/iced tea; my favorite of which is flavored ‘Wild Raspberry & Hibiscus.’

My one wish would be that the music were not briefly interrupted with ads every so often. The framed photographs are also significantly faded & restaurant decor has great potential for improvement.

Otherwise, lighting is excellent; atmosphere is cozy; music, multicultural, & my food always tastes fresh and prepared with...

Don't know what is all enthusiasm around this place is about. Headed there after checking reviews and frankly disappointed.

First about good, or rather oke-ish staff: Crepes are ok. Nothing to remember but edible. Place itself and kitchen where cooking happens pretty clean, not bad for a non-chain fastfood place.

Now not so good: On our order of 4 crepes - 2 were for kids, where strawberry supposed to be. We were asked if we ok to replace with raspberry as they out of strawberry, sure replace. In 15 minutes we given 2 crepes for adults and only one for kids - no strawberry, no raspberry - only banana under half jar of nuttela. We waited for second but it never come. When after another 15 min we asked about it and why there is no promised raspberries, we got rather irate answer that they are out of ingredients and waiting for them to arrive any time now. Well 3 of us already done, bad luck kiddo, only your sister eating today. Prices. Whatever you see on attached menu is rubbish. Everything is ~60% more expensive. Our total was 110$ for 4 crepes, 2 hot chocolates + tax + tip. This is crepes... not even sandwich, more of a snack really, and place is fast food through and through with few tables in the back. Would mark it at least $$ to keep it real.

PS. We were reimbursed for the one they...
