Editor's Description
Last updated: June 16th, 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.

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 'flambée' 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.

We went to La Creperie for dinner a week ago and we really liked its friendly atmosphere.
All the staff is very polite and smiling.
We were surprised first to find Oysters from France in what we thought to be a pancakes restaurant. We ordered 12 because the owner told us they were fresh. They were amazing.Very tasty with a nice presentation.
The service was pretty good, fast and efficient.We had the chance to see how they cook our pancakes thanks to the open kitchen : its very impressive.
I took as a dessert "Le Defi" pancake , was just awesome !!
At the beginning we just dropped by to eat a pancake, we finally had a big dinner for a reasonnable price.
We didnt try the wine, but we tried the cider and we both really liked it !

I have been to La Creperie twice and will probably go back many times. Both the savory crepes and the sweet crepes were excellent. The atmosphere is nice and the service is pretty good. The owner is super friendly.

Arrived Saturday at 1pm, and the place was full - A couple of minutes wait and we go the window seat!
Tried the sweet cider - very tasty.
Service was good, with friendly and attentive staff.
The Crepe's were great, very tasty. The Sweet, stewed apple with salted butter caramel a particular favourite.
The card payment system refused to work, apparently is on the blink sometimes, but we had cash anyhow.
Saw some negative reviews here, but I would say the level of service was very good - and I will be back, and would recommend to others. 2 Crepes and a drink- 150rmb.

My wife and I went to eat at la creperie a few times during the past few months. Overall, we were very satisfied by the quality of the dishes and the service. If you want authentic and tasty crepes this is definitely the place to go. I am rather picky on the quality of ingredients; I hate imitation chocolate or cheap quality ice cream, you will not find that at la creperie. It is true that service has been slow at time but the staffs were friendly and eager to help. It is a place I recommend and where I will keep going.

Don't normally write reviews, but felt I had to in this case. Was in a very good mood when my friend and I arrived to have brunch at La Creperie a few days ago, however this soon changed. Firstly, the staff could hardly understand English. I do not mind that waitresses cannot speak English in local restaurants. But, if a restaurant is charging Western prices and marketing itself as a Western restaurant, I think the staff should at least understand what the customers are saying. We then tried to order the offers that were advertised on the table menus, but it turned out these would not be available until several weeks later. The food finally ordered took a very long time to arrive, despite hardly any people being in the restaurant and the taste was very mediocre. Still hungry, we tried to pay with credit card only to find out that they only accept cash. The owner (?) advised that they had applied for credit card payment when they opened, but that I should understand that in Chinese getting these lisences (?) take a long time. Now, I have lived in China for almost 3 years and I have been to numerous newly opened restaurants where they accept credit cards. La Creperie has been open for over a year...
I will never go back and I will strongly recommend my friends not to go either.

We were 14 Europeans (from Denmark) who arrived with short notice. Everything worked. Food was delicious and the cidre excellent (and expensive).
After 3 weeks on Chinese food this was a great choice. Service friendly and fast. The children (aged 10-17) loved the place. So did we.

Crepe It Brunch
The nautical-themed La Creperie does brunch with, you guessed it, crepes. The two menus both include a savory buckwheat galette, a sweet crepe, and a soft drink, coffee, or fresh OJ. 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 OJ. 10.30am-4pm.Every Mon
Moules Marinieres Mondays
La Creperie branches out on their coastal, Brittany theme every Monday night with steamed mussels and their traditional sidekicks, The French Fries. Starts at 7pm.Every Sat+Sun
Brittany Oysters
French crepe joint La Creperie pulls another Breton specialty out of their back pocket -- oysters. From Friday evening throughout the weekend, 150rmb buys a plate of six oysters from Brittany, with French bread, salted French butter, and sauce mignonette.What's nearby

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 »
