The Crèperie

Bon appetit!

If you’re ever in Toulouse, take the time to visit Place de Saint Georges. There you will find the Crèperie, a wonderful little restaurant with patios spread across two street corners. If you’re really lucky, you’ll get Michael (“Mi-kay-el”) as your waiter. We’ve been there twice and had him waiting our table both times. He’s such a character, and he never stops joking. He also speaks decent English, which is great for those who don’t have the best French.

The crèpes are wonderful, too. They also do meal salads – I recommend the salade Sacre Coeur, which has a delicious dressing and tops a conventional salad with little cubes of fried potato and lardon, which is like bacon only thicker and less crispy. And then there’s desert…

Possibly my favourite thing about being served by Michael is that he has the same attitude as my character Luca. It makes me incredibly happy and sometimes it’s hard not to giggle. When I took a photo of him, I told him he reminded me of a friend – which is true, sort of, but in actuality it’s much more awesome than that.
