Had visited a few times before pandemic. Food and service was very good. Decided to have dinner again at the Bistro. We ordered two appetizers, 2 salads and 4 mains. The pate and octopus were very good. Similarly for the farmers market and beet salads. The pork tenderloin was good. The Chilean sea bass was good and also the gluten free seafood crepe. The lamb shank was a big disappointment. The meat did not have much flavor and was overpowered by an exceedingly salty coating of sauce and carrots. Service was very good except for when when we complained about the highly salty dish, the server/ hostess just said sorry but no offer to replace the dish or other. Consequently, my tip was lower than usual at slightly less than 15%. She was not pleased with no thank you nor receipt for the credit card charge.

Delightful lunch - we were greeted at the entrance by our server Kristina, who was helpful in explaining the menu items and efficiently meeting our needs during lunch. The lobster bisque was rich snd creamy. The smoked salmon crepe was delicious with a side garnish of crème fraîche and capers. I was happy to see that this restaurant survived during COVID - the ambiance and menu offerings remain high quality. Reservations recommended.

The place is beautiful clean and welcoming. We were greeted immediately by a beautiful woman the owner. She was excellent and helpful in ordering! We started with a bottle of Rose! Excellent! Then ordered the crab cakes, beet salad, and beef borb. crepe! They were fantastic! Then we finished with chicken Kiev! Wonderful! Fish stew with muscles and potatoes and more was delicious!! Dessert was chocolate mousse cake and ricotta and pistachio crepes! Sooo good!! Cup Puccini and fresh coffee so fresh! Everything quality here! Fresh and great attention and attitude to detail! Bread and butter so tasty. Server was so kind and pleasant. She was the owner and checked in frequently! The chef was attentive and waved and said hello! There was a young server who was so beautiful and sweet! This is a family affair! We watched the whole staff gather for champagne and food tasting before the dinner rush. The place is beautiful? But the atmosphere was so inviting and encouraged us to linger over coffee and dessert! Such a great experience! We will be back soon and frequently as this is our new favorite restaurant! Thank you for a job well done. Best wishes, congratulations, and well done!

My recent experience is consistent with many prior reviewers. The meal itself was exceptional. Four of us each tried something different and we all agreed the quality and presentation was terrific. Not one review is negative regarding the food. The issue is the attitude of the staff, it’s almost like they play the role of French arrogance. They seemed dismissive at times and a pretense of superiority. Still would recommend because the food is that good and deserves to be shared. Would’ve been a 5 star is customers were more appreciated.

the food so fire, the service is very good. I love eating everything here, such as the crepes, paninis, noodle bowls, and more. Very yummy ? shout out to the worker Lina Deng who treats every customer like family.

The restaurant is beautiful, the service is marvelous, and the menu is amazing! I had lunch at the restaurant today; a birthday surprise from my sister! The ambience, meal and service were meticulous. A wonderful restaurant to experience in every way!

The owner does not believe in accommodating her guests and she also acts as if she doesn't need your business. I called there recently to order soup to go and was told they were too busy to take the order, and I was told to call back in an hour or two. I called back and they did not answer at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon. Funny thing was, My sister-in-law was in there and said it was not that busy at 3:30. The wait staff used to be so friendly. They couldn't do enough to keep you happy. I think they are terrified of the owner and don't believe they should try to make the customers happy with their dining experience. Also, the food has become very inconsistent. You can't dare tell them, because they will never send it back, even if it is just toot cold. For what they charge, they should try to please their customers. I miss the old La Crepe. What a shame.

Took daughter here for her b-day. Service was very good and the food was delicious. Had been here a few times before and were always pleased and enjoyed everything. For me, the crepes were just ok but everything else was great. Recommend for anyone.

My favourite place to eat on campus! Great value and great flavours. I haven’t ordered a crepe in years, they look good, but their lunch bowls always look that much better. I am here almost every Wednesday for their Coconut Chicken Curry special (I always ask for it spicy), it’s fresh and more than you need to eat, but you won’t be able to stop yourself.
Upon entering La Crepe Bistro, one feels transported to a European cafe/ restaurant. The decor is elegant, service impeccable, and food delectable .

The spicy Chinese crepe is pretty authentic. They substituted the fried bread with crispy corn chips to give it a lighter taste. Aunty and uncle were also very kind and made a crepe for me even though they weren't open on the weekend and were only in to do prep work!

My friend and I ordered chicken noodle bowls. We didn’t get chicken and the spring rolls had to be very old as they were a strange flavour and microwaved. The peanut sauce was not as expected…. More like a gravy. The sauce contained a lot of cornstarch. The whole thing was not edible and it was tasteless. I tried calling, and left a message…. but no answer. I wouldn’t even give a star, but that was the lowest rating. I am not looking for a refund, I would like them to improve the food quality! Please stop microwaving, and please put the crock pots away, developed a real peanut sauce.

I cannot speak to the crepes, but they also sell Asian style foods and it's amazing. I've had the Thai chili chicken and the pad Thai so far and they're both very good. Reasonably priced for a good amount of food! Really great thing to have on campus.
worst noodle bowl ive ever had
