Crêpe Du Jour

I truly love this gem in Mt. Washington! Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner is always up to par!

One of my favorite restaurants, hands down. My boyfriend and I have been there at least a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The crepes are amazing, never thick or burnt like a previous poster mentioned, and it’s folded so it can fit all the (always super fresh) ingredients inside. They don’t skimp on the good stuff either. The seafood crepes always have a ton of lobster, shrimp, and/​or scallops. I once got a crêpe with duck, and they put so much in I could barely believe it. Oh! And the dessert crepes. Oh my goodness, leave room.
It has a cozy and warm ambience, and excellent service. I will also say, this place isn’t cheap… but we have always felt that we got our money’s worth.

Fancy nice lil overpriced
Need to step there game up some

Was better than most

I enjoyed stopping by this authentic French creperie. Food was on the expensive side, very luxurious and rich; my seafood crêpe was good! There are so many options on the menu. If I come by next time, I want to give the buckwheat crêpe a try for sure. Our waitress was a bit cool. My overall impression of this place was satisfactory.

Very nice romantic place. Great food))) very warm inside. I enjoyed it!!! Staff is professional and polite

My family and I came here for brunch and all 8 of us were extremely happy with the food, service, and experience. I was craving smoked salmon, but didn’t want it as part of the Eggs Nova Benedict. No problem! The lovely, accommodating server was able to bring me a side. We tried the French Onion soup — prepared gluten-​free — which was the best I’ve ever had. Our omelettes & a selection of sweet and savory crepes, also prepared gluten-​free (score!), were absolutely delightful. Can’t wait to return!

We visited Crêpe Du Jour for the first time yesterday around 3pm with high expectations. I can definitely say our expectations were met. It is located in a very nice area in the most adorable little yellow house. The service was great– very quick and always available. We ordered the coquine and the guillotine crepes, as well as the home fries. I personally enjoyed the coquine more than the guillotine. The coquine has a lot of chocolate sauce inside which pours out when you cut into the crêpe. It also had a fantastic melba sauce outside. The two mixed very well together and made the whole crêpe absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend it. The home fries were a nice addition, very garlicy, but still worth trying. I definitely hope to go back soon!

I’m really confused as to all the great reviews. I have been to many a French restaurant and a place that is called Crepes Du Jour, the crepes should be amazing right? Wrong. Never in my life have I seen a crêpe that was as thick as a corn tortilla and folded like a burrito. Not to mention burnt. Crepes should be light and thin. My friends both ordered crepes and one had tomato in hers which was totally inedible. Didn’t even bother to dice it was huge. Ordered lobster bisque which was so acidic and had a weird spice in it which I couldn’t put my finger on. Sent it back. Told the waiter everything that was wrong and he rolled his eyes at me twice. Didn’t think I saw it. I did. I have never in my life left a 10 percent tip but I did this time. He was so rude, he took my comments as a personal insult. Will never ever go back.

«» Today I had the mahi mahi over wild mushroom orzo and just when I thought it couldn’t tantalize my taste buds any further, the next bite proved me wrong as the taste of fresh mango sauce was there! The Crêpe Du Jour never disappoints each and every time I have been eating their over the past 9 years. The service was impecible and th…

Haven’t written in a while, but I must write about this awesome place! We came here on a Thursday night around 7pm. We were seated right away and since it was a nice day outside, we opted for the seats outdoors. The place is small but had a very warm and welcoming feel. We think there was only 1 waitress but she was so nice and we felt that she did a great job having to come outside to serve us as we were the only ones sitting outside. So props to her for being so accommodating and letting us sit where ever we wanted. I’m guessing it won’t be like that on a busy night, but hey, I review what I see.
We decided to get the escargot for our appetizer and it didn’t disappoint. The garlic butter sauce was on point. They even gave us bread to dip in the sauce! Usually escargot is served in a dish with 6 holes filled with the sauce and escargot inside each hole. I’m not sure if we lucked out, but they put 3 extra escargot on top of the 6. And extra food (or at least what I think is extra food), is always a plus for me! Kudos for those extra three snails!
I ordered the Crêpe Dauville which is a savory seafood crêpe that consisted of crab meat, shrimp and scallops. It also came with brussel sprouts but I asked if they could replace that with spinach and they happily obliged. Bonus points for doing that for me! This crêpe was ginormous! I mean like bigger than my head ginormous. And to my oh so pleasant surprise, they did not skimp on the seafood! It was $ 23 but it was worth every penny. I cut into it and the first thing I see was a huge scallop. I was so surprised that it was so big I let out a little «Whoa look at this big scallop!» Good thing we were outside, because I was not very classy. Haha. Anyway, the shrimps were also huge and the crab meats were big hunks of lump crab meat. I mean I could only finish half of the crêpe and I like to think of myself as a big eater, but alas, this crêpe defeated me. That’s ok though because I took the rest to go and plan on defeating it later. It may have won the battle last night, but i’m winning that war today. Ok, but I digress. The crêpe was amazing. I can’t say any more about it.
After that, we ordered a crème brûlée (sp?), and nutella crêpe. I mean it was a perfect end to a perfect dinner. I will definitely go again next time and try other entrees.
Bottom line: Go here! You won’t be disappointed. I also think it’s a good way to impress date ;-) Get it! ;-)

I’m confident enough to call myself a regular at Crêpe Du Jour. I went there 2x in 5 days this week and I absolutely love it. I brought 4 of my lady friends to enjoy the taste of France. They were all equally in heaven and basically swooning over each menu item. I also went to Valentines Day.
There’s too much to say about this place and why it rules, you can get anything on the menu and not be disappointed. I’ve only stuck with the savory and sweet crepes though, nothing on the entrée side like steak or duck. I’m sure they are good too but if you go to a crêpe restaurant GET CREPES!
Marie Antoinette, Oceanic, Florentine, Jura, calamari as an app are my favorite. And the dessert one I usually create my own and add a bunch of sweets like Nutella, banana, strawberry, brown sugar, honey, etc etc!
Just a heads up, the service can be slow so expect to relax and soak up quality time with your comrades. The servers have always been great and treated us exquisitely despite longer waits. The restaurant is inside an old house and there isn’t a large amount of seating so I recommend making a reservation. Mt Washington itself is a very cutesy area so it’s great to go there during the day, check out the Whole Foods, shop at the chic little stores and finish off the evening with CDJ.

I visited Crêpe Du Jour for the first time on February 16. My two friends and I each sampled different items on the menu including the French onion soup, the calamari, two savory crepes, and a dessert crêpe. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive. The restaurant is small and cozy. But on the day in question, the place had run out of water, and there was no way to wash one’s hands after using the restroom – this was reported to us by the gentleman at the next table and one of my friends confirmed it. So even though the food was memorable, this dearth of water was a potential health problem, and pitchers should have been placed inside the restrooms for customers and staff. We saw several delivery men toting heavy vats of boiling water. But I’m surprised the place didn’t close for the afternoon until this thorny problem was solved.

6 stars if Unilocal would let me! Service was fantastic and the food was some of the best I’ve ever had. My wife and I got the red pepper bisque soup, eggs Chesapeake and the crêpe du jour ‘oceanique’. Both plates were amazing and worth the drive from DC.

I had an enjoyable experience the first time my fiancé and I ate here, so we decided to go back for Valentine’s Day. I made a reservation, which had to be secured with a credit card. Unfortunately, an unexpected snow storm hit. About 2 hour before our reservation, we watched out our front door as cars and SUVs struggled to get up the hill out of our neighborhood, losing traction, slipping, and sliding all the way back down. He looked at me. «We can’t go out in this.»
With very little food in the house (and both of us looking forward to a romantic meal after we’d spent the past week apart) canceling our reservation was the LAST thing we wanted to do, but there was no choice. I reluctantly called the restaurant and when I said I needed to cancel because of the snow, the man who answered the phone said «Hold on while I get the owner.»
I explained to the owner that we couldn’t make it because of the snow and he informed me he was going to charge me $ 45. (There was no mention of such a charge when I made the reservation through Open Table.) I would have understood a $ 10 or even $ 15 charge, given that it’s Valentines Day on a Saturday, but $ 45? I argued with him that was unfair given the circumstances. He spat with irritation, «Everyone else is here. Why can’t you come?»
«Because there is three inches of snow on the road and our street hasn’t been plowed yet.»
«Fine. What’s your name?» I gave it to him. «Fine.” – AND HE HUNG UP ON ME.
I was speechless at the rudeness I dealt with from the OWNER of this establishment. I liked the place, and we probably would have gone back numerous times. But this was absolutely unacceptable behavior and I will never go back.

I came to Crêpe du Jour for dinner several weeks ago. I made a last minute reservation online, but was able to get in at the desired time. It’s a small restaurant, and, as per usual, parking in Mt. Washington is tricky, but it’s worth the added effort. I have to say that it has some of the best french onion soup that I have ever had. I snagged a bite of my companion’s crêpe, which was a special that day and featured various seafood, and it was also really, really good. I got a little overzealous by ordering the soup AND beef bourguignon, so my of my beef was wrapped up for leftovers. It was good, but the crêpe and soup were stand outs. Definitely give it a try if you’re in the area!

I have been eating at Crèpe of the Day regularly for several years, and I love the place. You can get all sorts of savory and sweet crèpes to your heart’s content, but don’t overlook the other menu items and specials… great as well. Service is great and they play French radio!

This is my favorite restaurant for upscale dining in Baltimore. I really enjoyed the crêpe special of large shrimp and crab filled crêpe. They used jumbo lump crab and the cream sauce was seasoned with old bay. My son always orders the steak entrée, since he has the unique habit of choosing the most expensive menu option whenever we dine out. The dessert crepes would make an exceptional brunch option. The drink options sounded tasty, but we stuck with wine, which our waiter substituted a more expensive bottle rather than what we ordered. The bottle of wine cost more than both of our entrees. I recommend the cheese appetizer, with homemade white crusty bread. The banana in the desert crêpe was covered with carmelized brown sugar, and a dollup of whipped cream. I would have loved to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream over the crêpe.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Baltimore. Growing up not too far, my best friend and I used to go there very often. The food is very reminicent of the owner’s herritage which comes out with every bite. I would suggest this place.

Love this place! Good brunch. I will definitely try the dinner next time! Why should I write a long review. I just feel the restaurant is good!

I revisited Crêpe du Jour for Valentine’s day. We didn’t expect the prix fix menu but it actually was a nice surprise because it took the guess work out of ordering. As I remembered, the place was intimate if not cramped… but it didn’t distract from the dining experience. Everyone there seemed to be really enjoying themselves and the people they were with, as were we.
The menu started with a glass of sparkling wine with chambord (very nice start, woke my mouth up). The next course Chausson de from age de Chèvre (goat cheese and spinach in puff dough drizzled w/​balsamic truffles) and Crêpe au saumon fumee (smoked salmon served in a cold crêpe, avocado, capers, red onion, and crème fraîche). Both starters were amazing. Particularly the salmon one. The smokiness of the salmon, the tart pungent taste of the capers, the crème fraîche adding some sweet creaminess… perfection. The other starter was no slouch either-​strongly rich vegetable flavor of the spinach, sweet acridness of balsamic vinaigrette and the delicate soft creamy goat cheese were all perfectly balanced tastes together.
Main courses followed next-​Duck for my husband and Beef filet both perfectly cooked. Crispy outer skin of the duck, Tender juicy meaty morsels of beef. Savory goodness.
For dessert, two heart shaped mousse/​gelatin like things. perfectly ok, nothing super special.
Like my first visit to Crêpe du Jour, I was bowled away with the food. Unlike the last time, the service wasn’t spot on. Although having a reservation, when we arrived we weren’t seated. Not typically a big deal but in a place as tight as this one, we were continuously asked to move by patrons trying to leave, waiters trying to do their job, etc. Once we were seated, we weren’t greater for over 5 mins, people kept coming by asking if anyone had been by and then going off to «get» our waiter but didn’t offer to bring us a drink, a menu, nothing. No one explained we could only order of the prix fix menu so we picked a bunch of items off the regular menu (b/​c it was given to us) to then have to regroup and figure out what we wanted on the other. After our waiter finally acknowledged us, we still didn’t get drinks for another 5 mins. There were huge breaks between every course as if it was surprising we had finished the last. They were clearly overwhelmed by the surge of people there for valentine’s day.
Despite the service hiccups, we had an amazing meal, an amazing time… it was just amazing.

This wonderful restaurant seated my large party of 15 immediately after we left the Mt. Washington Tavern when we were insulted by their staff. We were so impressed with the friendly staff and the food was absolutely AMAZING! I had their Cote de Beouf and it tasted incredible, while my son had not 1 but 2 of their delicious crepes. Do not be fooled the relatively small size of the restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The dessert crepes are insanely delicious. Their staff made my birthday party very memorable. Thank you so much!

EXCELLENT casual French-​bistro style meal! Cozy, nicely French-​country style little restaurant. Menu offers good selection of savory crepes, dessert crepes, and non-​crêpe entrees and deserts. Small but nice selection of wines and beer– and most wine is availabe by the glass.
My son and I had the steak frites– really tender, nicely charred, perfectly cooked hanger steak, crispy, crunchy, fluffy-​interior pomme frite, so nicely seasoned with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley, no kecthup needed!, with a nice, fresh mesclun mix salad, with a zingy mustardy-​vinegrette and creamy goat cheese. mmmm…steak was covered in caramlized onions and rich, meaty port wine reduction. mmm
My wife had a seafood crêpe– nice, light yet toothsome crêpe, filled with jumbo, tender shrimp and sweet lumps of Maryland crab, with crisp-​steamed asparagus spears and fresh tomato in a creamy wine sauce… mmmm
Desert– Crêpe Tropical, split three ways– delicate, vanilla-​scented crêpe folded over melty Nutella, topped with fresh black and rasp– berries, and rich vanilla ice cream. Mmmm.
We had two very nicely priced, yummy glasses of a young Cote du Rhone to with.
Service was friendly– a bit slow, but otherwise accurate, polite, and helpful.
Price range– very reasonable. For the meal above, a bit over 100 bucks including tip. Not bad at all! You can eat cheaper if you want– as cheap as 5 bucks for a crêpe with butter and sugar! Basic crêpe entreees are under 10 bucks for the most part.
We’ll be back!
Maybe just for dessert– if we had more room, I’d have demolished that Crêpe Tropical on my own!!!

Crêpe Du Jour is a great place to introduce someone to French food. Though mediocre by Paris standards, it’s a real find in the Baltimore area, and I’ve enjoyed every meal I’ve eaten there. Our server was very sweet — a little too friendly for my taste, but attentive and professional nonetheless.
In general I order a salad for my entrée, since I know I’ll want a dessert crêpe and two crepes in one day seems a little decadent. Their salads are classically French, composed of artfully arranged, highly flavorful ingredients and served with light, mustardy vinaigrette. The last time I visited, I saw they had added a number of different mussel dishes, and I followed my personal rule: Order Mussels Anytime You Can! The Moules Marinere, another typical French dish, were divine, swimming in buttery, herbed broth and served properly with frites, not bread.
My friend ordered the Crêpe Florentine, which I tasted — warm and flavorful, with a pleasing combination of tastes and textures. We also shared a Salade Verte, since neither of our entrees came with one; I understand about mine, but in a French café a savory crêpe is always served with a light green salad, and it’s disappointing that Crêpe du Jour is following the American tradition of charging for all the extras.
Dessert: well, if you know how to make crepes (hint: don’t start at IHOP!) it’s pretty hard to mess up a warm, thin pancake filled with cream and sweets. Again, I wish they would follow the French penchant for simplicity; their dessert crepes are served on Happy New Year 2006 plates (?!) and drizzled and sprinkled liberally with chocolate and sugar. Still, the ice cream was cold, the fruit warm and the crêpe light and crispy around the edges: the perfect way to cap off an evening of beautiful conversation.
