La Bonne Crepe or La Bonne Crappe?. We went out of our way to visit this restaurant, because I wanted to try the crepes there. I strongly advise you not to take there anyone who is from Europe and try to tell them that this establishment sells crepes. Crepes are supposed to be soft, not hard.

Upon our arrival we were informed that if we ordered crepes, we'd have to wait about half an hour to get them. We decided to wait anyway, because we did not find anything else enticing on the menu. While waiting, we ordered a "tropical" fruit dish, which included two strawberries, grapes, two different kind of melon, a single slice of pineapple at the bottom and two small slices of banana. Now, I'm not sure what kind of tropics these people have been, but this selection doesn't quite meet my definition of tropical fruit. The whole thing was covered with cottage cheese, which was not mentioned on the new at all and made the whole thing rather yucky.

When the crepes came they were were hard, instead of soft and the sandwich i ordered included some turkey breast, tomatoes, and gruyere cheese. The whole thing was rather tasteless and the tomatoes were heated with the sandwich which I personally thought was ridiculous. My friend ordered another crepe sandwich and the whole breakfast cost us over $50 along with a coffee and a tea. Now I don't mind paying $50 for breakfast, but I expect to get some quality in return. And what we got was bland, tasteless food, poorly cooked and presented. I strongly advise people to skip this joint and spend their money elsewhere.
