Crepes A GoGo

Crepes A GoGo north west corner of Bloor and Spadina

The actual address is on Spadina and is therefore confusing. Crepes A GoGo is on Bloor St a few doors west of Spadina on the south west corner of Spadina and Bloor.
I have watched this restaurant taking form. Every day I would walk by to see if it was open. Veronique, the magical entrepreneur gave me a sneak preview several weeks ago. Each day I would peek in the window to see if it was ready to open.
This week I was excited to see the lace curtains in the window and the door open. Veronique has brought a touch of France to this busy corner. The servers and the chef all speak French. The small paper Eiffel Tower in the corner is also a reminder that this is like being in French territory. The design of the restaurant is elegant. This is a tiny place. There are a few tables and bar stools. I opted to take my rolled crepe and eat it on my way home. All the crepes are presented in a paper bag. There is no cutlery.
I think Veronique is amazing. She has taken this crepe concept to new heights. This is her third establishment. It is open late and will no doubt be a busy addition to this bustling annex location.
Rolled Crepes are Veronique’s creation. The crepe is removed from the creperie and filled. It is rolled and then cut before serving. The rolled crepes are served cool. Savoury and Sweet Crepes are available. I opted for Crepe Monsieur.($10.00) Tuna, mayonnaise, parsley, lettuce and tomatoes are included in this tasty delight.
Crepe Madame offers cream cheese, dill and red onion, smoked salmon and lemon.($10.00)
If you prefer a sweeter taste you might ask for the Martinique, a crepe filled with sugar, lemon, cinnamon and fresh slices of banana.($6.00) P’tit Ben is a cream cheese and raspberry jam delight.($7.00)
On my next visit I intend t try a Folded Crepe. It is finished on the creperie and served hot. St-Tropez offers a goat cheese & baby spinach filling with a sprinkle of olive oil.($8.50) Parisienne is prepared with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, threads of red onion and filaments of dill.($9.00)
Sweet Folded Crepes are also popular. Imagine Dark Chocolate sticks enclosed in a folded crepe.($5.00)
Crepe A GoGo has several signature crepe offerings. Veronique is a brie, strawberry, baby spinach and maple syrup wonder.($9.50)
The doors have just opened. There was already a line up. Many take the crepes out. Others enjoy the inside facilities.
Crepe A GoGo is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The French flavor brings an international touch to a vibrant neighborhood. This type of food is great any time of the day. It can be a meal or a delicious snack.
Whatever you eat you must try the Limonana, a specialty lemon drink. You can even purchase some to take home.
