La Creperie does indeed serve crepes. From hum-drum Nutella filled dough to the tangy seafood/salad crepe, main courses run the gamut. Some crepes are more successful than others, but the all wood decor, fully bar and English speaking servers make for a fine experience. The owner is not just a Brittany native, but the VP of the Brittany Association -- authenticity is as close you can get thousands of miles from the French coastline.

Coming from Australia I don't often get to try authentic French Cuisine, so I was expecting something magical to hit my plate.....
Unfortunately I was a liitle dissapointed by how simple the food was. Perhaps it isn't a good example of authentic French Cuisine, or perhaps it is a reflection of the people in the kitchen. Whatever, I just felt that I could put together a lot of this stuff at home.
Crepes were covered in chocolate with a scoop of ice cream (pretty good but not worth 60rmb). Yogurt and fruit was nice (well the yogurt was anyway) fruit was a jelly mix and not fresh. Drinks expensive, but hey this is Shanghai right?
The place seemed to be managed by a young French couple? With Chinese staff that speak French and English. I thought the service was quite good, the manager even waited near the door and said goodbye as we left (maybe because they were not busy).
I would go back again if it wasn't for the prices. Overall average

The food extends slightly past mediocre but the service, or the lack of, is what will drive this restaurant to the ground. The management is too young and too inexperienced to handle anything beyond 50% capacity. The kitchen is mismanaged and wait staff oblivious. Imagine a bunch of juveniles pretending to play "restaurant" and this sums up my visit to La Creperie. Afterall, this is Shanghai, where bad service is the norm, besides asking for utensils three times, delivering two of our four entrees before the appetizer, the coup de grace was delivering the final entree after my three dinner companions finished their entree. Quel désastre!

Just like in France it is a nice place to snack but surely not if you are super hungry! The galette was nice and the cider one of the best in town
