I found a great new place to dine right around the corner from where I work. I LOVE crepes, and one of my new favorite places is Crêperie du Château.

It's a quaint little spot right at the corner of Routh St. and McKinney Ave. With all the hustle and bustle of sports bars and dives on McKinney, Crêperie du Château is definitely a serene midday retreat.

I ordered the chicken crepe which was phenomenal! They use what they describe as a "specially prepared wheat recipe" and the wheat flour they use is organic. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the brown sauce (i don't know what it was) was delicious. If you're really hungry prepare to order something else from the menu however. They have a variety of sandwiches, soups and pastas among other things to choose from, and I'm sure it's all good.

Wait, Wait I'm not done...I had dessert too...

For dessert I made my own creation which was the Chocolate Sundae with strawberries and bananas. The fruit was fresh, and dessert crepes come with a side of ice cream and 4 towers of tasty whipped cream on each corner of a square plate... mmmmmmm.... mouth watering now!

It's economically priced, a great date place or a very good place to go close to downtown to get some peace and quite. They have a jazz brunch the last Sunday of every month and the service was incredible...for which I am a stickler. So, that's What's Good this week Dallas! Check out Crêperie du Château. I'll definitely be stopping in again soon! ... [Read Tiffani's Blog]

"I plan to return with my mother, my daughter, and my friends and hope you will share this experience with your friends and others you love!"

I have been extremely busy over the past few months, but I was determined to find a wonderful spot where I could spend some quality time with my mother and daughter. I envisioned a quaint, cozy elegant eatery where we would be able to catch up over a fresh and flavorful breakfast and a nice cup of freshly brewed coffee. I became a java lover from the first time I sipped from my mothers cup as early as I can recall. I wanted a place with impeccable service as well as ambiance.

I was given rave reviews on a place that I was told I must visit, Creperie du Chateau ... [Read Article]

Crêpe Expectations

Creperie du Chateau
by Teresa Gubbins
D Magazine AUG 2008

Creperie du Chateau has to be the only crepe restaurant that's hosted half of the Dallas Mavericks, including owner Mark Cuban. Crepes + basketball players is not a formula you expect. But the Uptown creperie was opened by former Mav Didier Ilunga-Mbenga with partner Fatoumata Ndiaye, his agent's wife and a native of France whose charming accent lingers.

Ilunga-Mbenga became an LA Laker but that hasn't stopped the rolling of the crepes. Everyone knows about sweet crepes with chocolate and fruit, but Ndiaye is passionate about her savory crepes filled with seafood, chicken, beef, or vegetables. Made from organic dark buckwheat flour, the crepes were delicious, with a nutty, earthy flavor. But it's still about the fillings: lightly cooked scallops and shrimp in a cream sauce, or spicy ground beef with sour cream and salsa, a Tex-Mex twist on crepes.

Creperie has things other than crepes: steak, salads, sandwiches, and a worthy weekend brunch with omelets, thickly sliced cinnamon French toast, Belgian waffles, and mimosas. But don't forget sweet crepes, with Nutella, roasted apples, and bananas, as well as the classic Suzette with Grand Marnier. 2515 McKinney Ave. 214-292-4664. $$-$$$
