Crêpes Expresso Café Bar

Each named after writers and other figures of French culture, the crêpes at Crêpes Expresso Café Bar are haute cuisine. Eric (oui, French) and his crew mount some delicious, freshly prepared additions to Santa Marta’s international menu. The Pierre de Ronsard (beef, Roquefort cheese sauce and mushrooms, $4.20) and the Jules Supervielle (curried shrimp, $7.40) are savory choices. Dessert crêpes also abound, from the simple Anna de Noailles (butter and sugar, $1.60) to the heavenly Madame de Sévigné (chocolate, almonds, whipped cream, ice cream and strawberries, $4). Vegetarians have several options of delicious entrées, including the Charles Baudelaire (spinach, mushrooms and cream, $3.20). There is a full bar of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Ah, but mon dieu, these crêpes are served on a Styrofoam plate with plastic cutlery. (It is fast food, after all!)

Open Monday-Saturday 3 p.m. to whenever.
