Crêperie Viva la crêpe — Restaurant in West Des Moines

Flavor of what we had was good enough but I would not order, again. Sweet crepes overpriced. Their style of cooking crepes is less tender than to which I'm used; they are slightly chewy with a good flavor. (The lemon curd was good, but does not really make it as a crepe. It's just three folded crepes with a lemon glaze poured over. If lemon was whipped with something, might work better.)

Their selection is limited - I would like to see a creamed line like chicken, Alfredo, spinach, etc. There are a lot of things that can be done with crepes. They need to experiment.

BEWARE: there is very small sign in front of the register noting there is a 4% charge added to the final price if use credit (I did not see this until I had paid).

Ambiance typical of "order at the counter".

Idea is nice for a change, but the crepes are either too close to the real thing or too far from it; they are different (tougher) than what I have experienced in other (USA) places. And too limited selection. I probably will not return mainly because of the price, credit charge, texture of crepes, and limited selection which I can make at home. But others should at least try. It might be something...

This was a surprisingly delightful experience! I say this because I didnt know what to expect. The cashier is right by the door, which is not a great location if there is a line, which, if they are busy I could see being an issue. We ordered 2 dessert crepes. Roasted apple and chocolate flan. They were delish. The crepes were cooked perfectly, the presentation was perfect. There were plenty of toppings for every bite. The prices were great, the total for 2 dessert crepes was approx $16.00. Next time I will definitely order something with Nutella, but isn't that what a menu is supposed to do? Leave you thinking about what you will get next time so that you cant wait to get back? I say 10/10 for this place. I could tell each crepe plating was done with perfection and...

Update: If you are dairy free, this restaurant can't accommodate. It's still great but accommodating food allergies or sensitivities can be another good step for them.

I love the crepes from here. Really recommend the Azada and Strawberry crepes. The first time I had the Azada it had the right amount of cheese. The strawberry crepe was light. It definitely doesn't fill you up but it's a nice dessert if you go halfsies with your better half (and kids in my case). The only reason I gave this a 4 instead of 5, it's because the second time I ordered the Azada crepe it had way too much cheese and cheese on top (which it didn't have cheese on top the first time) so maybe it depends on the cook...? I'm not American so my taste buds are different. Otherwise, great soft...
