"Founded in 1972, local French favorite La Creperie is not only the granddaddy of Chicago crepe shops — its owners claim it’s the oldest restaurant of its kind in the U.S. The charming storefront spot has endured for various reasons, including its often-bustling beer garden, but most particularly due to its lengthy menu. Chicagoans continue to beat a path to its door for crepe hits like Boeuf bourguignon, fruits de mer with bechamel, and La Pomme, which features apples sautéed in butter and cinnamon." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
