La Crepe Bistro

Absolutely loved this cute treasure and so glad I was invited there for a recent lunch. Every little thing was top notch!
The ambiance, the service, and especially the food. There were four of us, we all had different crepes, one amazing salad (beet, goat cheese) and three desserts (crème brûlée, crepes Suzette, Grand Mariner).
Presentation was spot on (note pictures) and being a foodie, loved it all.
Made a reservation for upcoming Valentines dinner and can’t wait to bring my husband, despite the 18 mile distance to get there. It’s worth it!

Came right back the next day to share another delicious and wonderful meal and this time with my hubby. Had the French onion soup which was the best ever and is always a favorite of mine. My husband had the mushroom soup and loved it. Of course, I tried some and of course it was delicious! Then my husband ordered the duck and I the spinach and cheese crêpe. No guess here — consistently everything delicious! For dessert we had the ice cream crepes and to top it off the best hands down relaxing, comfortable and delicious meal ever. Always fresh and daily handmade you can taste and appreciate. There is definately some French love going on in this place and the food!

LOVE THIS PLACE. Have been here many times since they’ve opened a few years ago. The food is always excellent. Atmosphere is great, service is great. Such a touch of class for the area. You need to come here. Dexpect a nice night out & don’t wear jeans, you’ll feel underdessed for the atmosphere.

I really don’t want to write a good review because this place will start to get too busy to get a reservation. It is, by far, one of my favorite places to visit. I say visit because once I am there I do not want to leave. The ambiance is soothing and relaxing. It is far too chic for Illinois and yet … here it is!
From the moment you walk through the door, no, maybe just before, when you walk onto the patio, you feel as if you’ve been transported to a quaint but elegant French bistro.
The staff are very accommodating and friendly. It seems that most (maybe all) are European and their accents are delightful. The servers are not only lovely but knowledgeable.
The food. Oh! Have mercy! The food!!! I have been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nothing I have ordered has ever disappointed me even slightly. Fresh ingredients, prepared with flavor and style. So delicious!
The people that I have seen in this restaurant all seem to succumb to the calm but joyful atmosphere. It is one of the few restaurants that I can think of where you don’t have to shout over music or noise to have a conversation with your spouse or friends.
The prices are not outrageous at all. We had a very nice bottle of beaujolais wine for about $ 25.
I do not have one complaint about this fabulous restaurant. If you have not tried this place, do yourself a big favor and go! You won’t regret it.

Wonderful food, fabulous service with tasteful ambiance. Relaxed, comfortable dining experience. The foods were lovely in presentation and all delicious. I had the lamb chops with ratatouille — meat was tender and flavorful. Desserts — leave room! The caramel apple with cinnamon crêpe was a favorite.

This place blew. my. mind.
It’s in a strip mall but you walk in and everything is luxurious! There are floor-​length drapes, ornate furniture, and thick, dimpled cloth napkins. The servers were svelte ladies with long hair and doe-​like eyes decked out in black dresses and pearls.
Of course we got bubbles — Champagne — and it was lovely. We continued with Mussels Mariniere, escargot and a beet salad. The mussels were a little fishy, but the sauce was incredible: rich and creamy. The escargot was presented in their shells and we were given special utensils for removing and eating them. Divine.
All of our entrees were dreamy except for the fish of the day. The fish was vapid and unsatisfying. I got the Chicken Fricassee. It was tender boneless pieces of chicken in a buttery cream sauce served with sides of asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. All I can say is that it was absolutely the best dish that I have had in a very long time. It was a true treat to eat.
M got the duck which was cooked perfectly. The skin was crispy and the duck was moist and flavorful. Everybody agreed that this was the way that duck is meant to be prepared and enjoyed.
One of our friends got the Coq Au Vin. It was absolutely delicious. Rich with brown gravy and deliciousness.
For dessert we had a pistachio macaroon (sublime cookies but frozen middle), sugar butter crêpe and crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was unlike any other we’ve ever had. I highly recommend it. The crêpe was also indulgent in it’s simplicity.
La Crêpe Bistro was truly a special surprise and a hidden gem. I could not recommend it more.

Best breakfast restaurant in the south suburbs. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Crepes are better here than in Paris. The banana Nutella crêpe is to die for

Finally got to visit this place and i can honestly say i was very satisfied. It was everything i was expecting. The food was very good. Service was awesome and the place looked super cute. Definitely recommend to friends and family. Bön appetite!

Went here for lunch and had the spinach and cheese crêpe and the French ham crêpe… both were excellent. We will definitely be back. If you are on the fence about French food give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Went there this morning. What a beautiful place inside: from the décor to the table settings. They have accomplished a difficult task of making it casual to very elegant within the same space. What a wonderful experience. The food transports you to a bistro in Paris. My wife and I enjoy savory so we had coq au vin, and mushroom crepes. They were great with adding ingredients to our liking (gruyère cheese and chicken). The crepes light and the ingredients perfectly done! The homemade rasberry cheese cake was heavenly, so light and airy. The service attentive, friendly and do not overshadow the experience of the ambiance and the food. What a wonderful discovery for this area… you can escape the cookie cutter corporate restaurants of the Orland mall area for a wonderfully eclectic, romantic dining experience.

Good food.. some was great, some blah. The lobster bisque was a big let down. No taste at all. The Beet salad was awesome. The cog a vin and beef bourguignon crepes were quite good but had to assemble ourselves! Weird. Crêpe Suzette good but not flamed add it usually is. Crêpe with ricotta was bet dry. All in all, food was 3.5, atmosphere a total 5 star, service was a 1. Awful. And for these prices, that is not right.
Get rid of the attitude if you want to survive past the initial attraction

Loved their food presentation, interiors and friendly service. Definetly a five star review. Will be back.

This is a little slice of Paris in the Midwest!
We found it on Unilocal and drove to a strip mall in the Home Depot center… we didn’t expect anything really special except we were hoping for some decent crepes.
Mon dieu! Were we surprised when we crossed the threshold to this charmingly decorated authentic french bistro!
We had delicious cappuccinos followed by savory crepes.
I had the baked salmon w spinach and cream… my daughter enjoyed the Nutella w bananas and strawberries.
Wonderful.
But to be honest… the ambience was the best part of the experience.
The décor coupled w the musical selections were perfect.
We had a relaxing and delightful experience!
Good food… pleasant service… delicious French food… yes please!

Five star, all the way. Had lunch here this past week with dear daughter-​in-​law and we will be back. Hopefully to host her baby shower! Delicious food, albeit a little pricey… but well worth every penny. You HAVE to get a latte and French macaroon for dessert. These aren’t the coconut cookies most Americans know. These are little cakes held together with a delightful crème. Absolutely delicious.
This place is perfect to celebrate special date. Now I want to go to France… and will visit this place often until then. ;-)

My entire family and all my friends love this place. Such a treasure to have in Homer Glen and the food is always fresh, tasty and well seasoned. A little on the pricey side so we only come here on special occasions.

Love this place. Beautiful inside and the meal presentation was outstanding!
I have recommended this restaurant to many people and all have fallen in love.
Our first visit to this restaurant was during the winter on a cold night.
I felt like someone took me to Paris for the evening. Great music and ambiance.
The food is always fresh and great.

Very nice place don’t come in work clothes it’s a a lot fancier than it looks… Good place to bring a date the help are wearing elegant dresses

Today was our anniversary, 15 years on the 15^th. Pretty special if I do say so myself so we needed a special place to celebrate. A friend had recommended this restaurant and in spite of the fact that it was in a strip mall in Homer Glen we trusted her.
From the minute I saw the Eiffel Tower out front I knew I would adore this restaurant and I was right.
At lunchtime it is a definite «Ladies who do Lunch» kind of place, in fact for most of the meal, Cliff was the only man.
The restaurant is large and comfy. Tables are spread out so you can’t hear other people’s conversations. Plus, you feel like you could talk with your hands and not smack someone. I love my space!
My only problem was that I wanted to order every single thing on the menu. As this is not a cheap place, that would have created some financial problems so I restrained myself.
I talked my darling hubby into splitting a Coq au Vin crêpe with me for an appetizer. It was breathtakingly delicious! It had a little salad with the best dressing I have ever tasted. If they sold that stuff I would be guzzling it right now.
For my entrée I had the lamb chops because I am a fool for lamb. These chops were superb and came with mint jelly which I know is not trendy but I adore it with lamb.
I accompanied this with crisp and tasty iced tea. When I requested additional ice in came in a goblet with tongs. Wow!
For dessert I had one macaroon which was good. I also had the fresh peaches and cream crêpe and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. It was the best peach food I have ever had.
I accompanied dessert with coffee and sighs of pleasure. A very special luncheon for a very special day. Perfect!

What a charming place in the southern suburbs. They have turned a place in a strip mall to a little piece of France. The interior feels like a bistro in Paris and it smelled great. The food was equally exciting. We started with wine from a very reasonably priced list, although the choices of French wines was limited. Escargot came in snail shells with a fabulous garlic butter. Mussels were a little old but the sauce was good. French kisses were a hit, prunes stuffed with foie gras. We had lamb shank, half duck, veal chops, sea bass, and duck confit. Everyone liked their entrée.
The best was desserts. A classic crêpe Suzette, crepes with peaches, and one with bananas and caramel.

I’m finally glad to see a place around this so called «rich» Homer Glen area. It’s about time we start seeing a little fine dining as opposed to what we have around here. Being greeted at the door was a cute touch to the great service from the Audrey Hepburn ladies :)
It blows my mind on these bad reviews — first off have you really had French dining? Obviously not if your b!+€hing about only receiving one crêpe (purple onion is down the street — stuff your face with crepes there). The crepes were done up nice, I had the apple cinnamon Carmel crepes, a taste of the asparagus mushroom crêpe, a taste of French onion soup and the chicken spinach julienne… All of it was awesome and made me full. The service was phenomenal too– relaxed, not overly being bothered — that’s the vibe of this place though (mc Donald’s is down the street and they have a great drive through window if you don’t like the service at le crêpe).
The inside is very home like and classy. Not your typical modern dt chi restaurant. It lbs kind of in a category all by it self — fancy yet friendly! Def. a perfect place for a shower or party, date night or anniversary.
Can’t wait to come here at night !
