Editor's Description

Last updated: November 23rd, 2009


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.

I have been here 5 times, and have never once been anything less than impressed. Double bonus points for it always being with perfect timing. And triple bonus points because its divine. I have tried multiple types of both their savory and sweet crepes. The best: salmon crepe with cheese, salad a lemon (savory) and caramel with stewed apples (sweet). Also, love yogurt, its my primary food staple. That this is my favorite yogurt in Shanghai, says a lot. I don't recommend their "rhum" (and never never the cinnamon rhum) but their cider was a pleasant surprise. Maybe I have just had lucky experiences, but I can't stress enough to check this place out!

I'm a native from the North West of France (in Rennes) and i was kind of affraid to be disappointed by this creperie restaurant.
First of all, the service was good. A lot of recommandations by the waitress : we ordered some Fresh Orange Juice but she recommended us the fresh limonade. It was very nice.
I ordered a classic one i used to take in France : the one with ham, cheese, egg and mushrooms. The buckwheat pastry was really tasty and surprisingly good.
My husband took the one with the camembert cheese and smoked ham. Was good to finally eat french cheese in Shanghai !
I took the famous 'Crepe Suzette' in dessert. The interesting thing is that the manager himself came to make the "flambe" at our table. Everybody was looking , was funny !

Good place, good prices, good service (the cook chef is chinese) ! We'll go there again for sure !

I have been to britany and loved eat crepes.

But I didn't found the same pleasure in La creperie Shanghai.
Maybe the product they use are very low quality.
How can you fail a crepes?

Fot the price of the lunch set, there is a lot of place around wgo is cheaper or better.

We landed off in this restaurant , intrigued by the nice outside decoration.
The manager, a young french guy, straightly came to see us. We didnt realize he was french by his accent, that was why we asked him if it really was a french restaurant ^^
We sit down on the big chairs near the windows and he gave us some recommandations about these pancakes dishes that we never heard about before.
We started with some funny things called 'Bryttany Spring Rolls', a mix of asian and french cuisine and that was really delicious !
We really wanted to french it up our meal, so we tried two different pancakes with french cheese and one 'flambe' with whisky.
The restaurant was quite busy but all the staff was very efficient and smiling. The manager came to see us several times to ask if 'everything was ok'.
We took only one desert to share, one with bananas and caramel ice cream. Awesome.
We didnt get our fapiao right at that moment, but one of the waitress told us they could send it to us the day after. We were really surprised to receive it 3 days later !
Will definitely go back there to share this moment with some friends.
Value for money was ok, nothing to compare with other french restaurants in Shanghai.

Crepe It Brunch

The nautical-themed La Creperie does brunch with, you guessed it, crepes. The two set menus both include a savory buckwheat galette, a sweet crepe, and a soft drink, coffee, or fresh orange juice. For 118rmb, it's a choice between some of the more popular galettes. Specifics vary, but expect some combination of French cheese (Reblochon, Emmental, Camembert), egg, ham, mushroom, sausage, or smoked salmon; among the dessert choices, the homemade salted caramel crepe is the standout. Bigger appetites have the 158rmb option, which is all of the fillings, along with the sweet crepe and the fresh orange juice. 10.30am-4pm.

600 metres Azul

Eduardo Vargas' highly successful comfortable eatery has become a brunch favorite among expats. Take off your shoes and eat sitting on the floor in a bundle of plush pillows, or head upstairs for normal tables. The chef's Peruvian origins are present.. View listing »
 

200 metres Dragon Club

The ultimate in late night partying, one could actually go to Dragon for a couple hours, have a good night's rest and then return early the next morning to continue...no one actually does this. Cocktails are pricey but two-floor, French Concession so.. View listing »
 

600 metres Sasha's

Sasha's serves a variety of American-esque foods, including some of the better pizza in Shanghai. Equally spacious indoor and outdoor portions of the restaurant. Cocktails rotate on a seasonal basis. Weekend brunch leaves something to be desired. View listing »
