La Creperie(Jing An)

It was five in the evening and most people hadn't gotten off work yet, so the store was empty. You could just pick a seat and sit down. It was quiet and comfortable. The homemade French fish soup was quite rich, but a little salty. It was served with cheese and rusks. I almost ate all of it in the soup because I was really hungry. The French confit duck was very tender and there was no need to cut it. It just came off with a light touch. The skin was very fragrant, but there was a layer of fat underneath, so I didn't eat much. It was served with salad and fries, and the fries were especially delicious. The special cocktail was sour, sweet, icy and cool, and it was very refreshing. It was a very satisfying meal. I'll try their signature crepe next time.

La Creperie is a French western restaurant in a prime location in downtown Shanghai. The evening set menu is highly recommended, and is divided into two categories, priced at more than 400 yuan and more than 600 yuan. The discount for the set menu is quite large. The signature fillet steak (with French fries 🍟) can be cooked to a certain degree of doneness, and medium-rare is recommended. There is also French chicken steak with mushrooms, the chicken tastes fresh and tender, and the taste is very delicious. The French Gudan Kohler apple juice tastes pure and sweet. There are also various desserts and ice creams in this store, and there are many varieties. Caramel custard pudding is recommended, and the taste is also quite delicious and delicate.

A French western restaurant located on Nanjing West Road in Shanghai. The environment of this restaurant is clean and elegant, and the business is relatively good. The signature pasta here, the various flavors of pizza are delicious and tempting, and the price is basically acceptable.

Taking into account the tastes of the northern cousins, my younger brother arranged a large variety of dishes, including the common ham slices, cheese, foie gras, duck breast, veal steak, salmon tartare, ice cream, spaghetti bolognese, as well as various sweet and salty buckwheat pancakes like jianbingguozi, and iced apple wine that is rarely seen in other places. The fighting power of the people from the north is strong, they can eat so much, unlike us locals who have to consider weight control. The lighting in the restaurant is soft, and the decoration is mainly based on nautical elements. The guests are half foreigners and half Chinese. It is said that 70% of them were foreigners when it first opened. The overall environment is very good, and the local dishes of western France are quite distinctive. You can come and try it.

Appetizer There were three smoked salmon pancakes. The base was a bit like a pancake, with the sauce and smoked salmon layered on top. It was quite unique. Dessert The flambéed sweet pancakes are a specialty of this restaurant. While simple in appearance, they pack a punch! They were paired with homemade lemon cream, mango ice cream, and orange liqueur. We ate, drank, and chatted, and even received a small gift from my bestie. So happy!

The earliest La Creperie store was on Taojiang Road, opposite the Pushkin statue. The one in Yueyang Plaza has been open for almost six years. I came here twice when it first opened. I thought the restaurant was good, but Yueyang Plaza was relatively small, with relatively few shops, and it was far less imposing than the Kerry Center across the street, so I never came back. This time, my cousins ​​from the north came to Shanghai and went to Suzhou to visit the graves before returning to the city. Since they all lived near Jing'an Temple, we decided to have a quick meal at this restaurant. The Western food here is not very formal, and the buckwheat cakes are equivalent to the crêpes from Brittany, France, so everyone should be able to adapt. Sure enough, when we arrived a little after five o'clock, there were already quite a few customers. We had greeted them in advance and reserved a seat. There was also a tasting of the chef's new menu that evening, so there were many customers and not many empty seats.
