La Crêperie is a busy little crepe shop in the French Concession. Equipped with wooden benches, waiters/waitresses in stripey uniforms, and an open kitchen that fills the space with tantalizing aroma of freshly made crepes, this place is one of the most popular brunch spots in Shanghai. Reservations highly recommended.

Though I’ve visited La Creperie quite a few times before, I haven’t had a chance to try any of their seafood crepes until this time. La Marin (108 RMB), a recommended item on the menu, is a freshly-made buckwheat crepe topped with seared scallops, garlic, parsley, cream, mixed mushrooms, sliced bacon, and white wine. It’s a bit too salty, but otherwise absolutely scrumptious. Will order again for sure.

We also tried La Bigoudène (62 RMB), a buckwheat crepe wrapping ham, emmental cheese, sunny egg, then topped with some fresh leaves and sauteed mushrooms (or another vegetable of your choice). Not bad, but I still prefer my usual favorite La Four (mixed mushrooms, cream, bacon, garlic, parsley, salad).

For a sweet but light ending, we opted for the very basic crepe with butter and sugar (35 RMB). Simple and delicious, but considering that this can easily be recreated at home, next time I will opt for something more elaborate – perhaps La Crepe Suzette (orange marmalade, sugar, lemon juice, flambée cointreau) or the famous Le Defi (caramel ice-cream, cooked banana, salted butter caramel), which has been ranked as one of the top 10 desserts in Shanghai by City Weekend.

La Crêperie is an ideal brunch spot if you don’t mind the rowdiness and the crowdedness. See my previous post on this venue for more pictures.

Hey there!
I’ve gotta say, you find the nicest/awesomest/coolest places I just absolutely adore!
I’m back in Shanghai for a few days and have been craving for those crepes after reading your post, so i decided to go with my friend today… it was fantastic! Very French with the stripy uniforms and the dark interior furnitures, and of course, the crepes themselves. I tried ‘Le Defi’ and ‘L’ar Men’, and both were great =D I’d recommend them both to you for your next visit!
thanks for keeping this blog!

I love crepe but I am not crazy about la creperie…
Nothing really to complain but nothing which makes me melt…
I think there crepes are a bit too thin and crunchy which makes you lose part of the taste. Toppings are nevertheless good.
