| - Their speciality is crepes. If you have never had real French crepes before, this cafe would be entertaining. However, having lived in Europe - including France - for over 20 years, this is not even close. If you look on the internet, crepes are described as "A crêpe or crepe is a type of very thin pastry, usually made from wheat flour (crêpes de froment). They should be light, very thin and filly on the edges. Both dessert and savory crepes should have these characteristics.' You will not find such crepes at Chez Vous. You will also not see anyone cooking a crepe in front of you. Rather, the crepes are heavy, not warm and need a knife to cut them. They are gummy and chewy - which real French crepes are not. Our best guess is that they cook several thickers and sturdier crepes hours or days before, and then heat them in the stove or microwave with whatever fillings you have requested. As a result of using thicker crepes and reheating them, the crepes have all of the taste and consistency of a rubber tire patch. When we complained to the owners about the unacceptable quality of a savory crepe and a dessert crepe, the owner offered to not charge us for the food to avoid us writing about our experience on the interest. We did not agree. Try it at your own risk. There are other places with authentic crepes in the Phoenix area and without the condescending European attitude.
