| - Who doesn't love crepes? I'm always a sucker when walking past a crepe stand to order something, and so when I was walking through the Paris hotel in Vegas and saw this little stand, I had to try it.
Luckily I was with friends, so I got to try a few different kinds.
Every stand is a little different, and being that this stand is on a busy walk way in a busy hotel in Vegas, they tend to me more about speed than anything else. So don't expect mind blowing crepes here. But if you think of it as fast food rather than fancy French pastries, you should be fairly content.
The prosciutto, gruyere, & béchamel crepe was the clear winner for me. I love bechamel sauce when it's done right. This was not perfect, but for a fast food stand I thought it was better than I expected, and it paired great with the prosciutto and gruyere.
The spinach and artichoke with bacon and cheese was also really good. I generally have more of a salt tooth than a sweet tooth, so I wasn't surprised that I preferred the savory crepes over the dessert ones.
It's hard to screw up strawberry and chocolate crepes, and these were pretty good as well. But it's not real chocolate, it's Nutella. (I like Nutella, so this wasn't a bad thing, just not what I expected) But the strawberries were either over ripe or over cooked. Great strawberry crepes (in my opinion) have crisp strawberries laid in the crepes right before pulling it off the burner, so they are just starting to get warm, but not cooked.
Same thing with the chocolate banana. It had overly ripe or over cooked bananas with Nutella.
So in my opinion, it's a good fast food option for the favors crepes, but if you want dessert, look elsewhere.
