My favorite menu item remains the Mexican brunch crêpe but each person I introduce to Beau Monde finds their own favorite, sweet or savory. I cannot give it enough stars. A definite staple in our list of choices.

What a little gem! I’ve never been at a nice creperie. I’ve been to many delicious hole in the wall creperies with minimal seating, and I’ve been to hipster brunch places with one or two crepes on the menu. But a whole restaurant dedicated to crepes! First off, their selection is overwhelming. They offer both savory as well as sweet crepes. Now if their menu crepes aren’t to your liking, there is a build-your-own option as well, with a huge list of ingredients. You can build your own sweet or savory crêpe! I chose to go with a savory build your own, and added ingredients such as chive butter, wild mushrooms, sauteed spinach, over medium egg, and ham. Quite a delicious combo, if I may say so myself. My two other brunch mates also decided to build their own. We all enjoyed our crepes immensely. As if that wasn’t enough, the three of us also decided to split one of their sweet crepes– the nutella toasted coconut flakes with chocolate chip coffee ice cream crêpe, to be exact. Oh my. The crème anglaise atop of the crêpe was so good, and the coldness of coffee ice cream balanced out the sweetness of the crêpe fillings. Great and attentive service. Dine al fresco, as we did, if you can! It’s such a lovely experience!

Looking for a fun dinner for Mother’s Day. Big letdown. Service was terrible. Waiter was inattentive, never brought coffee ordered with dessert. Then took 15 minutes to get the check. We had to get up from the table to track him down. One delicious duck crêpe, others were just OK at our table of four. Very expensive considering what you receive.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert crêpe — I have loved them all. Love their Brittany style, square crêpe made crispy with buckwheat flour. The service is always friendly and being there in the winter with the fireplace roaring makes for a lovely date night. I wish I could quit the bananas foster dessert crêpe, but I can’t or won’t.

Yes, they are good, and once in a while it’s nice to stop in, but I agree with another Unilocaler that says the prices are really high for what you get. Almost $ 50 for lunch and I wasn’t filled is a bit much.

I dunno. I love a good fancy dessert and all, but paying close to a 20 spot(post tax and tip) for something that’s 1⁄27th of an inch thick and scantily filled seems a bit ridiculous to me. Are they tasty? Yessir. But those suckers either need to be half the price or super-sized to make it worth my while. And no, CBM you cannot fool me by spreading them out on the plate or providing a distracting amount of whipped cream and/or powdered sugar and/or sauce drizzle. Not buying it. So as for me? I’ll be sticking to heading upstairs to dance my face off at L’etage. Probably with a $ 1.29 Snickers bar hidden discreetly in my clutch for when that sweet tooth hits.

Boyfriend and I wanted to have a romantic dinner so we stumbled upon this place. We got the cheese place which was soooo good. And for dinner I got the grilled chicken, broccoli and cheddar cheese crêpe. It was awesome! The food was overall really good and it was a very nice romantic night for us.

Had dinner with my mom(a spry 79 years old), cousin, and niece. We had a wonderful experience. Food was excellent, service was very nice and the prices were reasonable. The portions are generous. We split the beet salad(awesome!) and then we each got a crêpe for dinner. We all split a sweet crêpe for dessert. My cousin had the shrimp with«black risotto». Shrimp was great but the black risotto was really just black rice without the creamy texture of a risotto. I would come back. Nice spot and good value.

Took my girlfriend out here for a romantic dinner. I was unsure about how a savory crêpe would taste since I’m so used to sweet ones, but boy was this an experience. I bought a mushroom crêpe and it was so delicious. It reminds me of a softer version of a Syrian Pie if you ever had one of those. The crêpe is truly a very versatile ingredient and the flavors pouring out were delicious. I didn’t get a crêpe dessert but I’ll have to try it next time!

Still amazing in 2016! Ive actually been coming to this place before the first time I reviewed it and its never changed and has always remained consistent. The food is amazing and the place is immaculately clean. This time we ordered off the brunch/valentines menu which was a first. I had the BLT with the salad and a french onion soup. My sweetheart had the Croque Madame with the roasted taters and the taters were awesome. Yeah I stole some. Later, we had the apple crêpe and it was awesome as usual. Waitress was cool and not pushy at all and she was compensated for that. I will always be back.

So I stopped by this crêpe place because it was the closest one where I was at the moment. My friends and I had shared the plain crêpe with berries, and the Crêpe Suzette. I really liked how our waitress had the crêpe Suzette and brûléed our crêpe for us to see! It was really cool and a great experience. The chantilly cream was really good also. Only downside was that the prices seemed a bit high, but I would visit again.

Excellent choice, calm, romantic atmosphere. Crepes were decadent! I tried the Nutella crêpe with vanilla ice cream. Also tried the escargot and the goat cheese pizza, both were pretty good.

This place was delicious! First time that I’ve tried a savory crêpe and loved it! I also loved the cheese sampling with fruit appetizer. The appetizer was served with 3 types of cheeses and as well with sliced up pear, apple, strawberries and grapes. Before coming here, I wasn’t fond of savory crepes but this restaurant changed my mind. I got the duck crêpe entrée, and it was amazing. It turned my crêpe world around. The service here was also friendly, when they forgot to add the egg to his crêpe, they came back and give him 2 eggs instead of 1! After coming here, I’m more open to trying savory crepes. I’m not surprised at all by all the good experiences here. Definitely drop by if you are in the area. This place is great for a night out or a date.

I have been eyeing up Creperie Beau Monde ever since I moved to QV in 2009! After 6 years the wait was over and I finally had brunch there with a few friends! We sat outside on their wrap-around porch under the signature orange umbrellas on a sunny April morning. They didn’t have any brunch drink specials so we ordered a round of mimosas and each ordered our crêpe of choice. I also had one of their specials: a mint, watermelon gazpacho. It came in a large bowl and was so refreshing, especially after a late night of drinking! The rounds of mimosas continued to flow and we all enjoyed our crepes. They were all delightful, made with fresh ingredients, and unassumingly large. We were all stuffed, and then shocked when the bill came! Over $ 120 in mimosas! Yikes! We spent more money on a few morning beverages than we did on food. This was certainly our doing, and not any fault of the restaurant, but still a shock and hit to the wallet! Everything that we ate was wonderful though I felt like it was slightly over-priced. If you plan on going to Creperie Beau Monde, expect to pay the premium, or abstain from alcohol during your meal and then head to any other establishment in the neighborhood with some more reasonably priced beverages!

This was a pleasant sunny Autumn dAy filled with a tasty blueberry crêpe. It was like desert. My only beef was that my waitress was wearing cat hair all over her shirt and sweater. Distracting to the point I didn’t want her at the table. I have a cat so I understand they shed. But geezzz

Took my wife here for her birthday for a Saturday 11AM brunch. Everything we had was delicious. Although it was my first time visiting, and I came here with the intention of getting a crêpe, the special of the day was a croque madame with a side salad. So I was swayed. And it was really good. I also had the special of the day soup — a corn, coconut, lime, avocado, and shrimp bowl of deliciousness. Wife has french onion soup and a crêpe with kalamata olives, goat cheese, tomatoes, and eggs. Both were wonderful. For a treat we split a crêpe with bananas, nutella and hazlenut ice cream. Everything was wonderful. Outside seating was lovely and the endless cup of coffee was much needed that day.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday and honestly, I was like dreading it a little bit. But there was NOWAIT and there were even lots of outside tables available. I think maybe because it’s the summer and a lot of people are on vacation? Don’t know– but that part was surprisingly nice. It’s a little more expensive for a brunch place, with food averaging in the $ 18 and we shared a savory and a sweet crêpe and coffee which ended up being $ 50 bucks. That being said, the food was very good. If you allow me to be snooty for like ten seconds here: we just came back from France and I have a new appreciation for french food/crepes in general. This place hits it on the head pretty well even with lots of duck options for the real Francophiles out there. A good place to take your parents if you want something a little more upscale. Little things also make me smile: the matching beautiful dinnerware, the cute ambiance in side, the umbrellas dutifully blocking the sun outside, the fun and sweet waitress… Makes dining here a pleasant experience.

This place is A-okay! The crepes are good/yummy and the atmosphere is enjoyable but, in my humble opinion, the food is highly over priced. I’ve had many delicious crepes for less than $ 10 and these were comparable in quality(if not a tad bit dry) for over $ 15 for even just 1 – 2 ingredients depending on what you got. Also I went on a day that was 90+ degrees outside and it felt really hot inside the restaurant I’m not sure if they had air conditioning or not but if so it was set pretty low and the heat might have dampened my experience. The crêpe i got was carmalized tomato and smoked salmon which was pretty good and a pretty big serving — I would definitely go back and have it again were it not so pricey. Recommended if you want a brunch that isn’t too crowded and don’t mind paying a bit extra! Worth a try.

I came here a few weeks ago with 2 friends for what I thought would be a casual Saturday morning brunch in the middle of a snow storm, spending over an hour and a half to get there, find parking, and trek through the snow. By the time we got there, it was close to an hour past our reservation time. The hostess was very accommodating and we were seated right away. I was surprised that it was so crowded on a snowy day like that, but now I understand why… There is truly nothing that could have beat the winter blues than a warm sweet crêpe and cappuccino in a cute little place like Creperie Beau Monde. The sweet crepes range from $ 10 – 15 while the savory ones are more expensive $ 15 – 25 depending on whether you are getting a crêpe with meat or not. The sweet crepes are great for brunch or even a shareable desert, but the savory ones are definitely the better choice if you’re looking for something more filling. If you’re having trouble deciding between sweet or savory, I say GOFORTHESWEET! I promise you will not regret it. I ordered the apples, toasted almonds, brown sugar, and caramel crêpe with vanilla ice cream. It was literally like taking a bite out of heaven. I probably would not mind eating this for every meal every day for the rest of my life. You are making a big mistake if you leave here without trying this crêpe! My roommate got the classic banana and nutella crêpe with hazelnut ice cream… Sounds basic, I know, but it was anything but basic. The hazelnut ice cream so perfectly complements the warm bananas and nutella. Oh, and if you’re wondering what chantilly is that comes with every crêpe, it’s like a very light, sweetened(but not overly sweet), whipped cream. I normally don’t like whipped cream but this was good! My friend got the cappuccino(excellent!) and of course, I had to try the bloody mary. While it was good, not the best that I’ve had. While the search for the best bloody mary in the city continues… this place is hands down the best creperie in the city I’ve been to.

Went here with the bf for a valentine’s day drink! Hadn’t been here before and it was a great stop — in for our romantic evening. The setup of the place is really nice and cute and cozy. The place was filling up quickly as we were seated at the bar. Service was great — everyone was incredibly friendly. Food looked great, but since we had other plans we didn’t get to try anything. we’ll definitely come back to try one of the delicious looking crepes.

Yes the prices are kinda steep. Yes it’s a little out of the way from University city. But you just can’t beat sitting in a small, warm restaurant near the window, watching the snow fall, eating fluffy, rich and delicious crepes and sipping on cocktails to warm up after. Sound perfect? It was. My friend and I stumbled in here after getting caught in a little more snow than we expected. We ran to the restaurant and were so happy to be inside that we didn’t notice that it was pretty packed on a Saturday. We asked the waitress for the wait for a party of 2 and she accommodated us in nearly no time at all! Thankful to just be inside from being so cold, this hospitality and great service made our great experience even better. Food: We decided on one sweet and one savory crêpe. We made our own for both(I recommend this, considering how steep some of the prices are for the pre-made crepes). We got an egg, mushroom and mushroom sauce crêpe and a nutella, strawberry and banana crêpe. The egg, mushroom and mushroom sauce crêpe was great — the crêpe was light, soft and the mushroom sauce pulled all the flavors together. The dessert crêpe was even better, if that’s possible. They added powdered sugar and a small swirl of whipped cream(flavored whip cream. what do you call that? it was almondy and delicious, whatever it was) to our plate, which was a nice addition. The crêpe was softer than the savory crêpe and the nutella amount was just enough — melted perfectly with the warm bananas and strawberries. MMM definitely one of the best dessert crepes I’ve eaten. Tips: +Come here on a cold day, get a table by the fire, eat and be merry and then go to the bar across the street and warm up with some wine :)

My favorite part of Beau Monde is when I eat the crêpe.
