Vive La Crêpe! certainly has many menu selection of both sweet and savory, and I always thought of them as fresh and high quality. I especially love one of their cute seating decor they they have at each location; long wooden block with back of the chair sticking out of it. I think it is really creative and adorable. Lots of wood used in the interior, bringing the cozy, comfortable feeling throughout, with great natural light coming in from large windows.
Read my full review of this restaurant and food on my food blog, foodlovergirl.
So you're having a get together around lunch time in Central Park and you need something to eat. What do you do? Well, you could go to the snack bar in the park and get ripped off. You could get a sandwich at one of the delis that is literally on every block of the city, but what's exciting about that? Heck, you could even get one of those pre made salads at the drug store but then again, who knows how long it's been sitting there. But why not go out of your comfort zone and try a crepe?
Sure, must people think that creeps are only stuffed with bananas and hazelnut spread and served for dessert, but there are so many more options to choose from here that just might broaden your culinary horizon. Be adventurous!
I tried the savory crepe with turkey, Gruyere, spinach, and tomato sauce and it was delicious. Sure, it took a few minutes for them to make the crepe from scratch, but it was worth it. My friends that I was with (who opted for the aforementioned deli sandwich) came back with their plastic shopping bags, but immediately regretted their decision when they smelled the fresh crepes inside.
Only reason I went with four stars instead of five was they they don't seem to have a way to wrap up the crepes and I ended up having to carry it in a paper sleeve in one hand and my drink in the other back to the park. Some aluminum foil would have been very helpful.
The crepes were not as good as I was expecting. Had a dulce de leche crepe and all the dulce de leche melted and was all at the bottom of the crepe. Overall, good enough for a quick sweet fix.
I stopped by this place to try their hot chocolate. The selection menu for crepes left me craving for one and I gave in. I got mozzarella tomato basil crepe- absolutely delicious. Very well made and crisp. The only reason I gave this place only 3 stars os bec they do not have any complex carb crepe options( buckwheat)..overall- food great taste; variety decent; price affordable; service good; ambience good. Will try more stuff.
It seems like just about every neighborhood these days has a Vive La Crepe, eh?
If you've been to one you've been to them all. They're totally decent crepes. Nowhere near the best I've ever had, but nothing you'd shove away from your face either. It's sort like Jack Johnson. Chances are you're not going to head out of your way to give him a listen, but when it's on the in background, it's totally unoffensive and mildly enjoyable.
I'm more of a savory crepe guy, but their sweet stuff will do the trick as well.
