Bastille Days came and went, but don't let that stop you from enjoying crêpes throughout the year. These very thin, pancake-like pastries are usually made from wheat flour and eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert.
Metro Milwaukee is home to a variety of restaurants that serve crêpes. Here are some of our favorites, and feel free to add more via the Talkback feature.

Yes - Satelite Crepes is amazing! They are in a new location each day of the week and they use all natural ingredients. I had the buckwheat batter with mozzerella, herbs and truffle oil. My friend ordered the banana and nutella - it was spectacular!

I am happy to see that Elliot's Bistro is back. I know that there was a rather serious fire several weeks (or was it months?) ago. I want to check out Nate's at the Public Market....I love savory.
