Crepes!
Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 7:59PM Mike and I love to try different foods. It's really one of the fun perks of travelling as much as we do. (Gator bites anyone??) But from the first banana and nutella crepe on a street corner in Paris almost 10 years ago - to a restaurant we visited today that specializes in gluten-free fare - we've had a soft spot for crepes.
The Colorado Springs area has several creperies and we've tried a few of them. They've all provided a pleasant meal but the one we tried today went above and beyond (and not just because our daughter happened to be our server).
Coquette Creperie in Manitou Springs is truly unique - to start with they have a full bar available as well as a full barista coffee bar. Not something you see very often. And then there is their menu - if you're not usually into organic and gluten-free ingredients you might wonder if everything still 'tastes good'. But everything was wonderful! There are all sorts of savory and sweet crepes available (yes, gluten-free!) and unusual specials (scallop & coconut soup anyone??). The menu also gives suggestions for pairing your entree with a glass of wine or mixed drink that will complement the food perfectly.
Even though we're leaving in just about 30 days, I'm definitely going to get in another visit - I really need to try that scallop & coconut soup!!
