Sweet crêpe with caramelized apple slices, vanilla ice cream, and a touch of calvados syrup
Tips from diners
This is Mamie Yvonne's take on French Tarte Tatin. The apples are jammy and rich.
Eat it while the crêpe is warm and the ice cream is melting into the warm apple filling
Sweet crêpe with Madagascar vanilla pastry cream, topped with caramelized sugar crust
Tips from diners
Crack the sugar crust with your spoon first—that crunchy top is essential
The vanilla cream is silky and restrained, not overly sweet like typical crème brûlée

Savory crêpe with Spanish chorizo, creamy brie, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of truffle oil
Tips from diners
Spanish chorizo brings smokiness that balances the richness of the brie
The brie melts completely into the warm crêpe; this is indulgent comfort wrapped in paper
Folded pizza dough filled with mozzarella, parmesan, emmental, camembert, and a touch of gorgonzola
Tips from diners
Order this to share or if you're ravenous—it's enormous and fills you for the rest of the day
Dip each piece in marinara sauce; the cheese is the hero here
