Creperie Reverie

Golf Girl and Golf Boy were in town from Chicago for a wedding this weekend, so we met them and their friend Mr. Workout for brunch on Saturday at Creperie by Jack 'n' Jill's of Beverly Hills (which is in Hollywood, despite the moniker).

French-pressed coffee ($3.50).

Peach lemonade ($3.95). Seriously delicious.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice ($3.50).

Mr. Monkey ordered the The Quarter ($11.50), stuffed with andouille sausage, cheese, shrimp, and chicken breast in a rich jambalaya sauce. Spicy and super flavorful. Definitely awakens the tastebuds!

I chose The Choudrant ($11.50), steeped with chicken, pancetta, garlic, pesto, cheese, and sherry cream sauce. So rich. So good.

Each lunch crepe comes with a garden salad.

The five of us shared two sweet crepes a la mode for dessert.

The Clare ($7.95) was filled with nutella, strawberry, and banana.
creperie 016
The German Chocolate ($7.50) had fudge brownie pieces, caramel, coconut, and chocolate sauce.

We really enjoyed our meal. The consistency of both the savory crepes (which were buckwheat) and the sweet crepes was great -- no gumminess!

    Fantastic review and I love the photos! I'm honored, I can actually say, "I was there ..." when I refer to your blog. ;)

    I'm going to leave my mark on Yelp as well ... let's do it again soon! Tell Mr Monkey I said hello!

    I hope you all talked 'inner monologue style' at this place since it looked like something that would appear on The Hills :-P

    I'm glad to see those look like real french crepes, BUT those are not real french fillings. ;)
