The Crepevine in Old Town Pasadena
August 28th, 2006
Do you like crepes? I do, but they are definitely a splurge item if you get it loaded with cream and cheese. My favorite crepe-arie? is located in old town Pasadena. This little place has a wonderful wine bar and turns out the best savory crepes. I have not had the opportunity to try their desert crepes yet, but I am sure they are as good as the rest of the items on their menu.
Ordered the cheese fondue which has a wonderful consistency of wine, gruyere and emmentel cheeses without the wine overwhelming the cheese. Served with a generous portion of crusty bread which has been dried just enough to soak up the fondue, but not so soft to get lost in the cheese.
Also got their florentine savory crepe which was a great balance of cream and chicken. Loved it and can’t really do it justice in writing.
A few months ago the poor restaurant sufferred a kitchen fire so they were unable to produce their wonderful savory crepes. However they have gotten their new hood and stove in place now and are better than ever. When you have a friend in time that you would like to catch up with try out this place.
It’s a bit hard to find in an alley off of the south side of Colorado Blvd and just west of Fairs Oaks Ave.
