Reviews for Les Crepes Carytown in Richmond, VA
I didn't have a good experience here. It looks super nice and elegant. However the experience is definitely not. We were seated... with ease and waters came out relatively quickly. The waiter did take our order rather quickly. However we had orderedadditional drinks that took awhile to receive, like 20 minutes, well after the entrees came out for my wife and kids. Howeverthe dude helping the waiter placed their orders down and asked if we needed anything else, I replied my food, he said he wouldgo check on it. When he came out it was evident that he forgot about my meal. He did apologize for the incident so that wasnice. My meal came out really once most of my party had already finished. I took three bites in my food which was good by theway to uncover a hair on my plate under my food! I let them know and by this point was in no way in the mood to eat. The checkcame out relatively quickly after that, which they did take off my meal, however I walked away still hungry and kinda sad withthe experience. Sad to say I will not be back. Read more
Definitely a wonderful place and we shall return. Champignon soup : A (I would have served it with a crispy french baguette... bread) - very tasty ! Good job Chicken Caesar salad : A+ (warm chicken breast and the home made dressing is divine , it's notoverpowering the salad, just complements it) You can see the chef and chef's helpers care about the small details. ShrimpCaesar Salad: B- (taste is delicious, however the 3 reasons for the lower grade are: - you get only 5 very small shrimps in thesalad (compared with the significantly more Chicken from the Chicken Caesar Salad) - shrimp is tail ON ! When you pay close to$20 for a salad, I would expect the tails to already be OFF) - you get less food compared with Chicken Caesar Salad however it's$2 more expensive than the Chicken Caesar Salad ... Now about crepes: Food presentation : A+ Food taste : A We tried 3 sweetcrepes: - The Tiramisu one : A+ - The Creme Brulee: A (I was imagining an european creme brulee with caramelized top but itwasn't - it is chef's interpretation and it is very very delicious) - The Berries Farm : B+ (I was not able to taste at all theRicotta cheese..... - maybe it was a mistake when it was prepared and they didn't place enough Ricotta cheese or that is howit's intended, regardless, I was expecting more from this one) - because I could not taste the cheese this was like a strawberryand blueberry crepe. Another mention: the whip cream is coming from the spray can..... For the price, we were expecting homemade whip cream that is significantly tastier plus it doesn't contain hydrogenated oils as the one from the spray can. Pleaseimprove here ! Servers: A+ for Paola as she was wonderfull. Helpful but not over exaggerating like other servers at otherrestaurants. Exactly how a server should be (attentive but not in your face and easily available for anyquestions) Facilities: Outside tables : A (lots off green plants, nice ambient lights, some tables have umbrellas, comforta Read more
An incredible Richmond gem. This place has hands down the best crepes, and coffee you will ever have. The crepes are incredibly... delicious and homemade. The chef is so friendly, nice and passionate. All of the sauces and combinations are so unique (allhomemade!). I tried a medley of crepes and my oh my it was SO hard to decide which one was the best. I recommend the following:carbonara, vegetarian, curry, tiramisu, chocolate and tres leches. All delicious to eat for brunch, lunch or dinner. A RichmondMUST! Read more
Delicious crepe! We ordered the salmon, hamburger, and strawberry+banana+Nutella. All of them are delicious, but next time I’d... probably skip the savory crepes and try more sweet crepes. Steak salad is good, but not amazing. The restaurant ambience iscozy, and the staff are friendly. Read more
Cute ambiance and environment for a quick date and very kind wait staff. Very walkable to the rest of Carytown which is perfect... for a nice day but made for a chilly walk in February since parking is rather difficult to find. We got the Berries Farm crepe(pictured) and the Burger crepe, both of which were very good but lacking in that special and extra taste that would give theestablishment 5 stars. Read more
Maybe it was on my husband and I for ordering savory crepes, but it just felt like the seafood and the carbonara tasted weird... with sweet crepes. We might have enjoyed the food better if we ordered sweet crepes, but the service was bad either way! We werethe only ones there on a Friday at 6pm, and the waitress forgot to put in our appetizer and was MIA most of the time. She put inour appetizer after the food was done, so the food sat under a heat lamp while they quickly made the app. So our crepes werealso pretty dried out. The seafood ravioli was delicious though!

Tasty food and good service but could have been better. We waited a while for service when the inside was practically empty. I... really enjoyed the dessert crepes. Update: after coming back on another day I changed my review to 5 stars because the servicewas prompt and excellent. Food was exceptionally good - had the carbonara and chocolate mousse crepes.

We sat on the patio which is quite lovely. The crapes range from the desert crêpes around 12 to the most expensive over 27.... They are not the cheapest crapes but they are well-made and quite tasty. I had the French crêpe I personally thought it was alittle bit too heavy I wish they had some lighter crepes. They are very dog friendly and even brought a bowl of water for myfriend’s dog! Read more
