| - So, it comes as a shock to me that someone would want to open up a crepe restaurant in Scarborough. What's even more shocking is that it has stayed open since August 2014. Who eats crepes in Scarborough?
As a culinary adventurer, I am willing to give it a try, so, I took my whole family. The restaurant is located in a mini-mall that overlooks Markham Road. I must admit, I have driven past it several times and wondered what it was all about. In fact, I have almost caved and stopped to try it out more than once. The parking lot has ample parking, although the spots are kind of small. You have to ask about the free wifi.
The décor is done well and what you would expect for a high-end dessert place. I was surprised to see a big subset of patrons from individuals, friends, business associates, couples and even large whole families who eat here. What surprised me even more is the idea of a savory crepe has caught on and people are giving it up in lieu of what would traditionally be served on bread. The menu is 2 or 3 pages of savory crepes from the traditional cheeseburger onwards.
Our visit was solely for the dessert, here's what we found.
We were greeted almost immediately and were seated. On our way to the table, we noticed the non-crepe desserts which were on display, which were actually very reasonably priced.
Sweet Crepes - We ordered 3 sweet crepes and enjoyed them. We ordered the vanilla bomb, which had ice cream and fruit inside, the S'mores crepe and the fruit crepe. Each one was delicious in it's own right; however, we found that the crepe itself was very difficult to cut through, so much so, that we would rock the plate, table and floor but the crepe was immovable. The S'mores crepe used whole graham crackers on top of the marshmallows and chocolate. This made it hard and dry, when a sprinkling of crushed crackers would be enough.
We weren't told how the restaurant worked, for instance, the waitress knew it was our first time and neglected to tell us that with every crepe order, we would only pay $2 for tea. Had we known, we may have ordered it.
The service here is lacking, other than the waitress not telling us about the discount on tea for every crepe, we found that the service was slow to get someone to take your order. The seconds turned to minutes, the minutes into hours, the hours into days, that's how it felt. So, hopefully, you have time to spend when you come here, otherwise, I would eat somewhere else.
When it was time to pay, we didn't want to risk having to wait another century for service, so, we approached the counter and were dealt with right away.
My summary: Flavour was excellent. Food needs minor work. Water had no smell as previously stated. Service was SLOW!!!! Price was high, considering their crepe price was 30% higher than their regular dessert price.
