Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie — Restaurant in Town of North Elba

During a recent family trip to Lake Placid, NY, we decided to try out Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie, a place we'd heard about for its wide selection of sandwiches and crêpes. Established in 2007 by Phoebe Burns and her mother, Holly, the deli has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects their passion for food and the beautiful Olympic town they call home.

What caught our attention was their extensive menu, boasting 46 different sandwiches, each named after Adirondack peaks, and a variety of sweet and savory crêpes. The sandwiches, with options ranging from roast turkey to smoked salmon, and even vegetarian choices, were tempting. However, it was the sweet crêpes section that ultimately won us over, particularly the Bananas & Nutella crêpe.

Opting for the Bananas & Nutella crêpe was a unanimous family decision, and it did not disappoint. Made with a French vanilla bean batter, the crêpe was perfectly thin and delicate, enveloping the rich, creamy Nutella and freshly sliced bananas. It was a delightful blend of flavors that had us all savoring each bite. The kids, especially, declared it the best part of the meal, already asking when we could return for more.

Aside from the food, the service at Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie was top-notch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. It's easy to see why this place is a favorite among both locals and travelers.

Our visit to Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie was a memorable one, not just for the delicious Bananas & Nutella crêpe, but for the overall experience. It’s a must-visit spot in Lake Placid, whether you’re in the mood for a hearty sandwich or a sweet treat. We’re already looking forward to...

I am honestly sharing a review because I saw another customer leaving a 1 star review for this restaurant on the day of my visit (February 23rd) and I truly believe this place deserves 5 stars. The food was excellent, the service was quick, and the employees were very friendly even though they had been working hard all day and didn’t look to have had a lull in business, so they were tired and overworked. A woman got irate with the manager because she had already ordered and her friends who were meeting her arrived after closing time for the shop. I then saw her daughter leaving a negative review because of this, even though the manager had explained that they had been busy all day and his employees had been unable to take breaks or use the bathroom all day because of how busy they were, so they were unable to serve the rest of the woman’s party because they arrived about 10 minutes after the shop was closed. This family also was saying how great the food was while leaving a negative review based on such a tiny issue. The manager handled the situation in the correct manner and I would like to say that this situation was unnecessary. My fiancé and I went into this shop for the first time yesterday and it is now one of our favourite Lake...

I went on a quick vacation with my husband to lake placid and we found this place that has a large menu that includes all sorts of breakfast sandwiches / platters, Breakfast burritos, more than 46 different sandwiches, in addition to all sorts of Crêpes, Omlettes, salads, and many other dishes served for lunch and dinner. This restaurant is always croweded by tourists because it’s located right on lake mirror and next to many hotels. So be patient because it’s worth it! They have the option to dine in or take out. I tried to go there for lunch but the line up was huge, even all the tables were full so I decided to come back the next day for breakfast. I went back at 9:00 a.m. and it was already full of people but I decided to wait in line and try their food. I ordered the “Heart Lake” sandwich which is basically an eggs sandwich with cheese, tomato, avocado and red onion in a rosemary flavour baguette. The sandwich was served very hot, I almost burnt my fingers but It tasted incredibly good and it had a very fresh taste because of the avocado in it. The sandwich portion looks small but it fills you up. I would definetly go back to that place to try more stuff from their menu. It’s highly...
