Ooh-la-la crêpes in Edmonton
The French take on the American pancake, the crêpe is a very flat pancake served with a variety of fillings – some sweet, some savoury. Although probably the simplest French recipe, it’s rather easy to make a less-than-stellar crêpe, so we’ve scoured the city to find you the best and most delicious around. Bon appétit!
Barb & Ernie's Restaurant
9906 72 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T6E 0Z3They serve up some pretty awesome crêpes and allow you to build-your-own-crêpe with your choice of fillings.
DeDutch Pannekoek House
10030 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1R2This Dutch restaurant has the most unique take on crêpes this side of the Atlantic. The Pannekoeken is a large crêpe topped with a variety of options. Try “The windmill”, which consists of shaved smoked wild B.C. salmon, Edam cheese and Hollandaise sauce.
Tiramisu Bistro
10750 124 St Nw, Edmonton AB T5M 0H1This café offers up an Italian twist to an old French favourite. The Calabrese Crêpe consists of eggs, mozzarella, prosciutto and Italian sausage. But the Milano Crepe stole my heart, with its cinnamon cream cheese mousse, fruit compote and maple syrup.
Under The High Wheel
8135 102 St NW, Edmonton AB T6E 4A4A spinach and feta crêpe topped with red pepper sauce - you’ve never had anything so delicious for breakfast (or lunch or dinner). You’ve also got the option to request a vegan buckwheat crêpe.
Uncle Ed's Restaurant
4824 118 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5W 1B4A Ukrainian restaurant that serves up some pretty awesome grub. Their cheese crêpes are essential a cheese blintz filled with cottage cheese. Some of the best ever!
The Creperie
111-10220 103 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 0Y8They serve up a slew of savoury and sweet crêpes. I recommend the Crepe Jambalaya for a variety of seafood and hot Italian sausage. Finish up with the dessert Crêpe Caribbean with bananas, dark rum, melted Belgian chocolate and more deliciousness on top.
Crepe Works
1878-8882 170 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5T 4J2The Thai sauce in the Thai chicken crêpe makes this one of the most scrumptious savoury crêpes in town. And for the sweet side, try the orange temptation with mandarin oranges and custard. You’ve never had anything like this.
Bistro Praha
10117 101 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 0T4This restaurant serves up Czech food, including crêpes. I’ve never had this type of crêpe before but it’s definitely worth it. Crêpe “Henry Christian” is one of my favs, with steamed kiwis with orange liqueur and whipped cream. Amazing!
Cora Breakfast & Lunch
6-9977 178 St NW, Edmonton AB T5T 6J6Known for her crêpes, Cora is a staple across Canada. But don’t let this chain restaurant fool you, their crêpes are still some of the most delicious around. My go-to is the “Raspberry 4 Lucie;” raspberries, cream cheese and English cream, topped with raspberry coulis.
Tutti Frutti
350-220 Lakeland Dr, Sherwood Park AB T8H 0N6They serve up what they call “panini crêpes,” which is basically a savoury crêpe grill-pressed. Does it get any better? Try the ham, egg and cheese with a fruit salad on the side.
