Loved their food presentation, interiors and friendly service. Definetly a five star review. Will be back.

My entire family and all my friends love this place. Such a treasure to have in Homer Glen and the food is always fresh, tasty and well seasoned. A little on the pricey side so we only come here on special occasions.

This is a little slice of Paris in the Midwest! We found it on Yelp and drove to a strip mall in the Home Depot center....we didn't expect anything really special except we were hoping for some decent crepes. Mon dieu! Were we surprised when we crossed the threshold to this charmingly decorated authentic french bistro! We had delicious cappuccinos followed by savory crepes. I had the baked salmon w spinach and cream ...my daughter enjoyed the Nutella w bananas and strawberries. Wonderful. But to be honest...the ambience was the best part of the experience. The decor coupled w the musical selections were perfect. We had a relaxing and delightful experience! Good food...pleasant service...delicious French food...yes please!!
(5)SmartShopper R.
Five star, all the way. Had lunch here this past week with dear daughter-in-law and we will be back. Hopefully to host her baby shower! Delicious food, albeit a little pricey...but well worth every penny. You HAVE to get a latte and French macaroon for dessert. These aren't the coconut cookies most Americans know. These are little cakes held together with a delightful creme. Absolutely delicious. This place is perfect to celebrate special date. Now I want to go to France!...and will visit this place often until then. ;-)

Love this place. Beautiful inside and the meal presentation was outstanding! I have recommended this restaurant to many people and all have fallen in love. Our first visit to this restaurant was during the winter on a cold night. I felt like someone took me to Paris for the evening. Great music and ambiance. The food is always fresh and great.
(5)Debbie M.
Good food. .. some was great, some blah. The lobster bisque was a big let down. No taste at all. The Beet salad was awesome. The cog a vin and beef bourguignon crepes were quite good but had to assemble ourselves! Weird. Crepe Suzette good but not flamed add it usually is. Crepe with ricotta was bet dry. All in all, food was 3.5, atmosphere a total 5 star, service was a 1. Awful. And for these prices, that is not right. Get rid of the attitude if you want to survive past the initial attraction
(3)Margarita And Edward M.
Went there this morning. What a beautiful place inside: from the decor to the table settings. They have accomplished a difficult task of making it casual to very elegant within the same space. What a wonderful experience. The food transports you to a bistro in Paris. My wife and I enjoy savory so we had coq au vin, and mushroom crepes. They were great with adding ingredients to our liking (gruyere cheese and chicken). The crepes light and the ingredients perfectly done! The homemade rasberry cheese cake was heavenly, so light and airy. The service attentive, friendly and do not overshadow the experience of the ambiance and the food. What a wonderful discovery for this area...you can escape the cookie cutter corporate restaurants of the Orland mall area for a wonderfully eclectic, romantic dining experience.

Today was our anniversary, 15 years on the 15th. Pretty special if I do say so myself so we needed a special place to celebrate. A friend had recommended this restaurant and in spite of the fact that it was in a strip mall in Homer Glen we trusted her. From the minute I saw the Eiffel Tower out front I knew I would adore this restaurant and I was right. At lunchtime it is a definite "Ladies who do Lunch" kind of place, in fact for most of the meal, Cliff was the only man. The restaurant is large and comfy. Tables are spread out so you can't hear other people's conversations. Plus, you feel like you could talk with your hands and not smack someone. I love my space! My only problem was that I wanted to order every single thing on the menu. As this is not a cheap place, that would have created some financial problems so I restrained myself. I talked my darling hubby into splitting a Coq au Vin crepe with me for an appetizer. It was breathtakingly delicious! It had a little salad with the best dressing I have ever tasted. If they sold that stuff I would be guzzling it right now. For my entree I had the lamb chops because I am a fool for lamb. These chops were superb and came with mint jelly which I know is not trendy but I adore it with lamb. I accompanied this with crisp and tasty iced tea. When I requested additional ice in came in a goblet with tongs. Wow! For dessert I had one macaroon which was good. I also had the fresh peaches and cream crepe and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. It was the best peach food I have ever had. I accompanied dessert with coffee and sighs of pleasure. A very special luncheon for a very special day. Perfect!

Very nice place don't come in work clothes it's a a lot fancier than it looks... Good place to bring a date the help are wearing elegant dresses
(5)Larry P.
Wonderful! Great atmosphere. Lobster Bisque is excellent. French Martinis fabulous. Crepes light and fluffy. It is a keeper.
(5)John G.
What a charming place in the southern suburbs. They have turned a place in a strip mall to a little piece of France. The interior feels like a bistro in Paris and it smelled great. The food was equally exciting. We started with wine from a very reasonably priced list, although the choices of French wines was limited. Escargot came in snail shells with a fabulous garlic butter. Mussels were a little old but the sauce was good. French kisses were a hit, prunes stuffed with foie gras. We had lamb shank, half duck, veal chops, sea bass, and duck confit. Everyone liked their entree. The best was desserts. A classic crepe Suzette, crepes with peaches, and one with bananas and caramel.
(4)Dan K.
I'm typically not a fan of French food...but I left impressed. The portions were actually decent as well. We'll be back...
(5)Daniel M.
A surprisingly nice and unique place to eat this far from Chicago. I have not tried my meal yet but I am already impressed and enjoying the atmosphere. The choice of drinks are unique and the food options are too. A must try.
(5)A N.
I was impressed with this place. Having been to several French restaurants throughout the U.S., I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food and ambience were. The crepes, desserts, & wine are DELICIOUS! Usually when I want to find a good French restaurant I have to go somewhere in the city, but this restaurant is truly first class. It does not look fancy from the outside, but as soon as you step in you are in a different world. Also love that you have an outdoor patio. Overall a pleasant experience.
(5)C T.
This place is my recent favorite place for brunch. I do not mind to travel to the downtown of Chicago for good crepes, but I no longer have to. The crepes here were all excellent. I also love lobster bisque and French cheesecake. Highly recommended.
(5)Melaine K.
Amazing! Surpassed my expectations expectations. The food was amazing. The ambiance is to die for. I will be back!!!
(5)K H.
Excellent food, service and and value. Gold Coast French cuisine quality without the hassle of crowds, parking and travel. The owners and staff are very accommodating and treat everyone like VIPs.
(5)Seth M.
Always a wonderful experience! The food is amazing, from the crepes that are always perfect to the soups and entrees!
(5)Mary O.
Can't wait to go back

What a cute find! In real life this place rocks as a 4.2~ That 5 is for when I'm totally blown out of the water. But for certain I will be back to explore the menu. I ate alone on a balmy fall day in September 2013 - what I had: Escorgots - tender and flavorful. Served in shell so all that great sauce can't really be dipped in with bread. Accompanying bread is dill seasoned so that is nice. Onion soup- okay, nothing special - hence some of the drop in stars. Ordered mine with light cheese as globs of it is too much for me. Sea bass with potato puree - bass seasoned wonderfully champagne sauce delish. Potato puree bland, salt and pepper would have worked nice. But it complemented sauce well. Salad light and refreshing. Next time I'll get dessert or a sweet crepe. This place is good enough to warrant a next time! And that is so rare for me, as it is many many restaurants to try in Chicago and neighboring areas. Happy eats People!
(4)Giorgia C.
I've been so excited to check this place out!! I love French food and this restaurant is located right by my house. Because of time restrictions, had to carry out rather than dining in. The wait was short, considering they were busy. Ordered the turbinado sugar and French butter creeps and an order of fries. Meh. The order of fries cost $4 and it wasn't even the equivalent of what you would find in a child's meal. A few fries sprinkled with parsley. Not what I was expecting. The crepe (one single crepe) was slightly tough and greasy. Overall, the experience was a bummer. Id like to say I will give this place another chance...but don't really think so.
(2)Travis M.
Food, service, and decor was amazing. Crepes were super good and also the veal was amazing. Definitely a little magical hidden place in homer glen.
(5)Jennifer N.
Excellent food and service. I felt like a spent an afternoon in Paris. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The decor is sophisticated.
(5)Virginia C.
My husband and I stopped in this lovely, intimate restaurant tonight after dinner elsewhere with friends. We ordered dessert and coffee and lamented the fact that we hadn't had our main course here. The creme brûlée was amazing and the apple cinnamon creeps were sumptuous!!! What a quaint, romantic spot in our backyard. Can't wait to go back for the entrees!!
(5)Kadee D.
I'm finally glad to see a place around this so called " rich" Homer Glen area. It's about time we start seeing a little fine dining as opposed to what we have around here. Being greeted at the door was a cute touch to the great service from the Audrey Hepburn ladies :) It blows my mind on these bad reviews - first off have you really had French dining? Obviously not if your b!+€hing about only receiving one crepe (purple onion is down the street - stuff your face with crepes there). The crepes were done up nice, I had the apple cinnamon Carmel crepes, a taste of the asparagus mushroom crepe, a taste of French onion soup and the chicken spinach julienne.... All of it was awesome and made me full. The service was phenomenal too- relaxed, not overly being bothered - that's the vibe of this place though (mc Donald's is down the street and they have a great drive through window if you don't like the service at le crepe). The inside is very home like and classy. Not your typical modern dt chi restaurant. It lbs kind of in a category all by it self - fancy yet friendly! Def. a perfect place for a shower or party, date night or anniversary. Can't wait to come here at night !
(5)Mig M.
THIS RESTAURANT CONTINUES TO BE GREAT, I HAVE TRIED MANY OF THEIR DISHES AND WE KEEP COMING BACK. TODAY IT WAS NO DIFFERENT, JUST ONE EXEMPTION. Le Creme Brûlée was somewhat disappointing, it lack flavor, maybe we are accustomed to different recipes, The following come to mind, one which has amaretto, another one Grand Marnier, one more with maple syrup....mmmmh. Also the vanilla bean needs to be scraped. Sorry, but ... Keep up the excellent cooking.
(5)Scott H.
Had a great meal for any location, absolutely the top shelf for the area. Service is leisurely but deliberately so... Fostering conversation and the sharing of the experience. Plenty of French bistro offerings and a few American dishes for those not wanting to be Continental.
(5)Toni F.
This is an adorable place!! The ambiance is very french - right down to the waitstaff uniforms - "little black dresses" with a beaded Eiffel Tower on the back - darling!! I wanted to meet a friend for coffee in the area so we settled on La Crepe Bistro - instead of coffee we had Mimosas and a few items off the starter menu. The assorted cheese plate and the Grapes Chevre Bon Bons...just enough to fill our tummies before doing more Christmas shopping. The menu looks fabulous with a large variety of inventive crepes and other french standards. I am excited about going back to explore the lunch and dinner options. VERY happy there is a place like this in the area.
(4)Marggie S.
Gave it 3 stars for food. Disappointed with service. Everything going good then a large party arrived, we became invisible. Ate food then was thinking about the banana-Nutella crepe for dessert, no staff around. Had to find someone to get our bill. VERY disappointing.
(3)C G.
I had the ham and cheese crepe as well as tried the peaches and cream crepe. Both were delicious and filling! This place has super cute decorations and is fun for a girls breakfast/lunch! This is a hidden gem in my opinion.
(5)Karen S.
Gorgeous, trendy, upscale decor. Very comfortable. Food was good. Lower star rating is the result of mediocre service. Waited upon sitting down, asked for water more than once, forgot a few things we asked for. In general the service was slow when restaurant wasn't evem full. I will try again based on the delicious meal.
(3)Kelly Z.
Love this restaurant! Beautiful decor and excellent food. Great place for ladies. The crepes are delicious! Portions aren't huge but definitely satisfying.
(5)Maggie K.
I loved it! I was not expecting something so glamorous in a strip mall in Homer and was very pleasantly surprised. We went for brunch in a Sunday. The food was wonderful, I had a savory crepe while my husband had a mixed berry. The doughs- sweet and savory- were amazing and nothing like that of the 'crepes' at local greasy spoons. The dinner menu looked extensive and delicious though a bit expensive. I can't wait to try it for lunch or dinner.
(4)Aliyah R.
Delicious, friendly, extremely authentic. Truly the best crepes I've had outside of Paris.
(5)Lexie S.
C'est magnifique! Eiffel towers, fleur de lis, french wine, crepes, cheese... I must be dreaming because I feel like I'm in Paris. This lovely french restaurant just gets better and better. I imagine they get busy as well for brunch, but we came here for a Friday night dinner. They seem to be the talk of the town because the place was packed! We didn't have a reservation, but did not have to wait for a table. The attention to detail here is truly remarkable, ambiance is spectacular, service is professional and friendly, and the food is simply divine! Really, you will not be disappointed with this little hidden gem in the suburbs. The Good: With "crepe" in the title, you can't come here and not order the crepes! The seafood crepe is always a front-runner, but today I tried the baked salmon crepe and I found a new favorite! The salmon was tender and just melts in your mouth with the bechamel sauce. Also, the escargots with chanterelles from the specials menu was heavenly! If you're a desert person, you may have a hard time deciding what to order. I know we did because there are just so many mouthwatering choices! We split the crepe suzette: traditional sweet crepe with vanilla ice cream, garnished with citrus fruit and kiwi. Mmmm... we practically licked the plate clean! The Bad: That I don't have a bigger stomach! I would love to try something in addition to the crepes... but I just had no room. I think next time, I will split a crepe as an appetizer and perhaps order an entree for dinner. In true french fashion, they have duck confit and frog legs, too! Would love to expand my horizons and sample other items off the menu. The Oh-So-BEAUTIFUL: I think the owner must have a background in interior design because the space has impeccable decor. It's romantic, charming and unlike any other place I've seen before with quality linens, vintage serving pieces, fresh orchids, domed cake plates, fancy dining chairs, mercury glass footed candle holders, modern crystal chandeliers and much MUCH more! Every corner of the restaurant has its own focal point, so there's not a bad table in the house. Come for a great meal, but you also get some marvelous ideas and inspirations for decorating. Now, one thing that will definitely catch your attention are the adorable uniforms for the servers... the girls look stunning in little black dresses with an Eiffel Tower on a sheer back. Viva La France in Homer Glen!
(5)Mary K.
This is a brief review as I have neglected to write one despite the fact that I have been here three times already! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it....and so has everyone else I have brought here, including my husband. Love the ambience, service, food, etc. If this place was downtown Chicago, the prices would be triple....I can guarantee you that. Prices are mid-range, but well worth it. I could go every week if it were closer to me (probably a good thing it's a little bit of a drive.) When I want my "Paris" fix, this is where I go! Barbara C's review was spot-on! I'll be bringing a close friend there next week so share my "secret" find!
(5)Lindsay C.
The atmosphere is great. Everything is clean and beautiful. I give it a low rating because it is sooo very expensive for what it is. Be prepared to drop at least $40 a couple for breakfast.
(2)Tracy J.
Three stars for the actual restaurant. Very cute, very charming. Food is good. Taking off two stars because for one, it's very expensive! I paid $9.18 for one crepe (yes, ONE crepe.) Also, the owner or boss seems kind of bitchy. All the other girls seem nice.
(3)Barbara C.
La Crepe Bistro is truly is a hidden gem in Homer Glen and I believe that it deserves more recognition for it's outstanding decor, service, and food. I currently live in Homer Glen and I can tell you that you will not find a place like La Crepe anywhere else in Homer or it's surrounding towns. With that being said, here is my review for you fellow Yelpers out there: As you walk in, you will typically be greeted and seated by an employee. The first thing you will notice is La Crepe's beautiful Parisian/Vintage like decor and ambiance. It automatically gives you a comfortable yet fancy vibe. There is no super fancy dress code expectation, so no worries- but I wouldn't advise pajama pants if that's what you're thinking. There is already a drink menu placed on your table already but you will be given a food menu promptly as you are seated. There are two divisions to this restaurant - one smaller dining section near the entrance, and a bigger, more private, dining area on your right-hand side. They also serve wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages such as martinis. I typically come in with my girlfriends during the morning or afternoon to grab some coffee, mimosas and sweet crepes. Their crepes are pretty big and filling and their lattes (hot or iced) and cappuccinos are excellent. I can't speak for anything else because all I ever get are their sweet crepes, mimosas, and variety of coffees. All which are very satisfying and delicious. You could tell that they put in a lot of thought and creativity when it comes to your food and drinks because both will be wonderfully garnished and served. It has a European feel to it to serve it's purpose as a French Bistro. One main reason I love going here is because I have yet to experience a wait for a table. It is quiet, it is intimate, it is reserved, it is elegant, and it is perfect for lunch/coffee with a friend or whoever. What it is not - is a place for you to bring around 10 running loose and loud children after soccer practice. Service is very friendly, professional, and attentive. I would not say they are very expensive. For example, I pay around $14 for a cappuccino and strawberry with chocolate crepe. I wasn't aware that they do take-out, but I'm not sure why anyone would even consider doing take-out here. This is a place where people go to actually sit down, relax, converse with one another, and soak in the ambiance. If you want to do take-out, I'd say go to Chili's down the street or IHop in Orland Park ... Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place if you're trying to go on a coffee & sweets date, catch up with an old friend, business related lunch (there's no loud music to talk over), or that french bistro dine in experience with friends and family. It's mostly crepes tho ! Hence the title, La CREPE Bistro. They do have appetizers that are non-crepe related, though.
(5)Debbie B.
Great food and service! Scallops and pasta delish. Went with family for a pre-mothers day dinner and all we ordered was fantastic. Creme brûlée for dessert and the coffee was perfect.
(4)Maureen D.
My husband surprised me with dinner here for my birthday and it was the best surprise. Everyone was so wonderful, the food was terrific, and the most attentive service. Highly recommend this venue.
(5)Alyce I.
A small little gem in Homer Glen! This is unlike any other breakfast place. The atmosphere was lovely, great service and delicious food. Prices are slightly more than your typical breakfast place but its well worth it. I've been to Paris and while the crepes are not exactly the same this was a very great alternative (and cheaper to get there!) Would DEFINITELY be back again.
(5)Rhonda H.
Have had lunch here several times and today, co-hosted a baby shower. Everything was wonderful. The wait staff was very attentive , food delicious and all of the guests had a lovely afternoon. The restaurant is so nicely decorated, we basically just showed up. Best baby shower I've ever thrown.
(5)Ann L.
I ate there last night with my daughter and son-in-law. This is some of the best food you will ever eat. Don't be deceived by the name. Yes, it has crepes--we had a coq au vin crepe for an appetizer, and a banana nutella one for dessert. Put your diet on hold for that dessert! It was enough to share with 3 people. I had one of the most tender fillets I have ever eaten. My daughter had sea bass, and my son-in law had lamb shank. The point is--there are tons of things on the menu besides crepes! This is such a fabulous place that I don't want to lose it! There are not too many choices in the south suburbs other than Italian restaurants. Unlike downtown, there is plenty of parking with in a free lot. Go go go !
(5)Sophie J.
Love going there and I have introduced quite a few people to it. Food is excellent and the place is very nice inside.
(5)Jack W.
Service sucks - this place needs cold shower or management who knows what to do. Places has great potential , it's nicely decorated and has a character. We waited 20 min to order drinks , and 20 min for check- I rather sit home 40min honestly. Food is good but 1 crepe for $10 I call expensive
(1)Sarah V.
This a beautiful little restaurant with high quality French food. I eat here often, as my office is just a few doors down. The French onion soup and lobster bisque are exceptional. I also like the brie and prosciutto crepe, and any of the desert crepes. La Crepe catered a few events at my office. We requested bite sized appetizers and deserts for about 50 people. We were blown away by the beautiful food La Crepe provided at an extremely reasonable price. I also appreciated that they let us use their serving platters for the party. This is the perfect place for a romantic evening, or for a ladies' night out.
(5)Dipika V.
Great service and ambiance. Best crepes around the area. Definitely worth the money.
(5)aj b.
What a great little place in Homer Glen! Crepes were delicious and service was great! Salmon in béchamel sauce was bit overcooked but dish was very tasty. Apple crepes were amazing! They had this little frisée salad as of decoration to the savory crepe and it was so well dressed and delicious that next time I definitely ordering a salad! Will be back for sure!
(4)Benjamin R.
La Crepe was FANtastic and we were super excited to find it somewhat near our new digs. Really great atmosphere, very frenchy and charming. The wait staff was excellent and very welcoming, though it is a bit of a more relaxed pace meal, like a real French restaurant. Expect a little time to digest between courses. We got a salad with duck bacon which was really good and really fresh. I had a very nice glass of wine. Entrees were a savory Beef Bourguignon crepe which was excellent and Chicken Fricassee, which was even better. For dessert we got a Grand Marnier crepe and a simple butter and sugar crepe. They were both good, but I think the simple one was best. Across the board everything we had was delicious, and the environment is charmingly classy while still being relaxed enough to feel like you could stop in for dinner any time. And it was all kind of surprisingly inexpensive too. We'll be back many times.
(5)Rich R.
I get to write their first review! This place is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant world of steak and Italian beef joints. The decor is unique and matches the trendy menu. The crepes are light and imaginatively adorned. I've had the duck and ratatouille, along with a dessert crepe and both were delicious. The service is efficient and mirror the trendy sophistication of the total experience. They deserve to be supported so what are you waiting for?
(5)Pierre Marcel L.
This place is what I would think a french bistro would look like in France the service was great the French onion soup was utterly delicious enough to spilt between two people also had the beef bourguignon crepe which reminded me a an upscale beef stew could have had a whole bowl of that alone also had the cog au vin which was very yummy in that cream sauce it was in and for dessert the apple crepe was the best bite of the night and the chocolate souffle well let's just say if you love chocolate it's for you great place will definitely be going back again soon
(5)Toula K.
Love the theme and attention to detail. The atmosphere makes u feel like ur in the city, not Homer Glen. The menu tremendous and food very delicious. Have been back already. I love that u can go there for a full meal or just dessert and a cappuccino.
(5)Victoria W.
This place is heaven. I came here with my mom for lunch today and was immediately drawn in by the charming decor. The atmosphere is so pretty, inviting, and comfortable. The food is all so fresh and made from scratch too... Best crepes ever! And there's also a great selection of organic wine to choose from as well! This is such a great addition to the neighborhood...it's so different from anything else in the area.
(5)Carol H.
This place is amazing. We have been to la crepe bistro about 10 times and have always been impressed with the quality of the food and service! I highly recommend the croissant sandwich or any sweet crepe for breakfast. The sweet creeps are also a great way to end a wonderful dinner. My favorite dinner entree is the steak frites which is a very tender filet mignon with a wonderful sauce that has a hint of blue cheese. The French fries that come with it are also fantastic. If you like mussels, give them a try. They are better that the ones I had in France! The decor of the restaurant is also very tastefully done. You feel like you are truly in France instead of a strip mall in Homer Glen.
(5)Patrice G.
What an unexpected surprise! Met some friends here the other night. The restaurant is small, but ambiance is so welcoming. I really could have sat there for hours! I was delighted to find that they actually had gluten free crepes upon request!!!Ordered the coq au vin crepe...delicious! Since the meal isn't oversized (fine by me), I had room for an apple cinnamon crepe for dessert. Again, scrumptious! Our waitress was wonderful as well. Patiently waited for us to leave since it was getting close to closing time (I guess we did sit there for hours!) Can't wait to return!
(4)Elsie C.
The crepes were good. The service was slow. We were forgotten a bit. The banana mousse tasted more like banana baby food. The creme brûlée was burnt.
(3)Victor M.
Super good! I had the duck salad
(5)Dan P.
Make a reservation
(4)T S.
The hostess/waitress was so welcoming, the service was perfectly professional, and the food was delicious. We tried both sweet and savory crepes, and we were all very pleased. (AND the coffee...some of the smoothest I've tasted!) Make this Bistro your place for any occasion!
(5)Valerie B.
Impressed! I have been meaning to get here since it opened and just couldn't seem to get there. Went today with husband and almost 5 year old. Décor is awesome, fancy and comfy at the same time. I wasn't sure my son would be able to sit for the meal, but he did great (Amish crepe - peanut butter and marshmallow cream helped). I had the cheese plate, which was great with pineapple moscato. Porcini mushroom soup was good. Service was top notch - and servers looked gorgeous in black dresses with backless Eiffel Tower, up dos with fake pearls.
(5)Olivia H.
I am impressed with the fact that the owner personally contacted me to fix a small issue. I plan on going back with my family with the hope for a better experience.
(4)Cindy G.
This restaurant is a treasure! What a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding - the decor was just lovely - the staff were very friendly. I HAVE TO return to try the other items on the menu. The setting is so beautiful I just felt so good being there! I want to bring others there to enjoy this wonderful experience. I have found my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Greg M.
A friend recommended this restaurant to me which I have driven by countless times thinking it was just another strip mall breakfast place. It is in fact a real French restaurant which I was pleasantly surprised to find out. Some of the most wonderful memories of my life are from the time my wife and I spent in Paris so we were very much looking forward to dining at this establishment. We definitely need more places like this in the southwest suburbs. Now for the nuts and bolts, they have a great menu and for the most part the chef executed it competently. They really dropped the ball on the service however. Our group of four had 5:30 reservations on Saturday night and at that time there were probably only three or four other groups of people dining so the ratio of servers to tables was not an issue. What was an issue however was getting any of them to serve us. As I mentioned it was not crowded and it is a small space so the evening did not get off on the right foot when we had to wait 15 minutes for any of the servers to even stop by the table and take a drink order. It definitely set a bizarre tone. We ordered three appetizers, the mussels, scallops and cheese plate and they were all very good. They really dropped the ball on my dinner however. I ordered the steak frites and specifically and clearly ordered it medium rare. When it arrived at the table it was beyond well done. When I pointed this out to the server she said that she thought I said medium well. How she could have heard that I will never know and frankly most restaurants make it standard operating procedure to repeat and verify a medium well request just to make sure that is what the customer really wants. They did cook a new steak for me but that led to the uncomfortable sitting and waiting while everybody else has their meal. My wife shared her duck with me and by the time my steak came out I told them to just wrap it up to go. That was very disappointing especially when you consider that with drinks the meal averaged $55.00 per person. A great customer relations move would have been to offer us a free desert or reduce the bill a bit to make up for the poor service and execution in the kitchen but alas that was not to be. The final kicker was this, when we requested the bill and went to pay with a credit card we were informed that "the internet was down" and they could not process credit cards. We had cash and paid the bill but what if we didn't? Most people don't carry around a lot of cash these days, were we to go to a cash station or wait for the internet to start working again LOL?! The 2 stars that I am giving this is more a reflection on the overall poor customer experience than a knock on the cooking. I am happy that a restaurant like this dots the Homer Glen landscape and I hope they have many successful years ahead of them but for me the service did not match the price point. I won't be going back.

We visited La Crepe Bistro recently and found the food to be not only creative, but absolutely delicious! The wait staff was friendly and attentive and we were very much impressed by the decorating and décor of the establishment. We would definitely go back again, however...one little tip.... Please stop letting relatives/friends of the staff, and the staff members themselves, to go in and out of the front door all night and allowing them to smoke and loiter at the front of the restaurant. Is there not a back door that people who are associated with the restaurant can use? Unfortunately, this behavior detracts from the ambiance of the restaurant, but because this is so easily fixed, I am still going to leave 5 stars. You have a great establishment and I am really hoping to see you succeed!

Great place in a nondescript strip mall with great ambiance and even better food. We started with the beet salad and mushroom soup. We had three different kind of main course crepes and all were wondergul. We ended it all with the berry crepe which was wonderful as was the cappucino and the spiced pumpkin They have a nice choice of wines and drinks

Agree with all comments as for decor and food. The interior is great, the hostesses/ waitresses are nice and welcoming. But apparently the manager or owner does not appreciate her clients and their comfort. This sunday we reserved a table for 10 people to surprise our friend with 50th birthday. We were sitting on the left side as you walk in to the bistro. And half of us were disturbed and blinded by the sun, shining through the entrance door. We asked the waitress if she could do something to partially cover the window to make us able to see each other. They have some kind of black blinds rolled up and have those nice panels for decorations. If you could just spread the panels a little, it'll cover the sun and everyone would be happy. For the black blinds or rollers, we were told that it is impossible to roll them down, so we adjusted those nice panels. After we adjusted them the waitress came and returned them into the same position. We asked why, but she could not answer and just said that she is sorry and she cannot do anything about that. At mean time the LADY OWNER was watching this behind the bar and could not manage to come to our table and explain why it is so hard to make the shade. So we went to her for a talk, and guess what she said "do not ruin her decorations" or to be exact what she said was- "do not make a mess", and she was worried about aesthetics of the window, not about client feeling uncomfortable and unpleasant. Probably for her the bistro is only for eating purposes: Come In ,Order, and eat concentrating on the plate. Guess what MISS FRENCH BISTRO OWNER- YOU ARE WRONG - PEOPLE COME NOT ONLY TO EAT BUT TO SOCIALIZE ALSO, AND SOCIALIZATION ISNT POSSIBLE WITHOUT SEEING PEOPLE. Is it too much to ask to take care of the problem, the client asks. And it was not the first time with the same problem. But earlier we were moved to the table were sun did not disturbed us. Sorry, despite all good food and pleasant interior we will not coming back. By the way on that sunday salads were a bit old and not crispy at all. So apparently the food is not always good. Hmmm

Went for our anniversary dinner and was REALLY pleased by the experience. The ambience is charming, the waitstaff solicitous and I loved the food. Had the duck ratatouille and it was just lovely. It felt like a bit of downtown tin the southern suburbs. Our wait time wasn't particularly long and would have been worth the wait in any case! Agree it does not appear to be kid friendly ( and hooray for that) but Homer Glen has access to plenty of those. Will definitely be going back!

I have been here a number of times and love the food! I haven't had a crepe I did not like. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. I attended a wedding shower here today and they did a fabulous job of serving everyone at the same time and again, the food was outstanding. I can't wait to go back and try a new crepe!
(5)V K.
Outstanding! How refreshing to find this lovely little bistro amongst the mediocre food establishments that surround it.
(5)Cyndee C.
This place is a winner. My daughter & I had two wonderful main course crepes for lunch today, followed by a yummy seasonal dessert crepe. Our server, Eva was very attentive, friendly & efficient. Liked the waitresses Eifel Tower dresses - very cool! Atmosphere & décor are very Parisian. The staff surprised my daughter with a raspberry tart with sherbet for her birthday. We'll be back again & again!!!

Delicious crepes. Very nice waitstaff. A little pricey but everything seemed high quality so it was justified. Will definitely be back.

My wife took me here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Although I'm a sausage and eggs kind of guy, that's not what this place does. So I did salmon & crepes. I was pleasantly surprised. What a great combination. I'm looking forward to going back to La Crepe Bistro for dinner. A great place...in the 'burbs !!
(5)A F.
This was a surprising find in the south suburbs. We loved the ambiance, good service and wonderful, creative dishes. It's hard to find restaurants of this caliber outside the city. We dined with our 3yr old & 3 mo. old on a Friday night, we requested an out of the way corner table and felt very comfortable. The food was superb. We ordered the prunes stuffed with foie gras, beet salad, lobster bisque soup, lamb chops, veal scallopine, and a crepe for our 3 yr old. Each dish was well executed. The sides were fresh and unique choices perfectly complimenting our dishes. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of food. For dessert, we ordered the banana Nutella crepe which is a must have! We will definitely add Le Crepe to our rotation of places we frequent, we were beyond impressed with this little bistro!
(5)Linas N.
Great food and great decor in an unassuming environment. Started with the cold beet soup followed by coq a vin and sea bass. Desert crepes were outstanding. Wine list limited, but worked just fine for us. Service attentive without being overbearing. Never would have expected such great food in a storefront in an otherwise empty strip center.
(5)Olivia H.
I am impressed with the fact that the owner personally contacted me to fix a small issue. I plan on going back with my family with the hope for a better experience.
(4)Cindy G.
This restaurant is a treasure! What a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding - the decor was just lovely - the staff were very friendly. I HAVE TO return to try the other items on the menu. The setting is so beautiful I just felt so good being there! I want to bring others there to enjoy this wonderful experience. I have found my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Victoria W.
This place is heaven. I came here with my mom for lunch today and was immediately drawn in by the charming decor. The atmosphere is so pretty, inviting, and comfortable. The food is all so fresh and made from scratch too... Best crepes ever! And there's also a great selection of organic wine to choose from as well! This is such a great addition to the neighborhood...it's so different from anything else in the area.

I'm finally glad to see a place around this so called " rich" Homer Glen area. It's about time we start seeing a little fine dining as opposed to what we have around here. Being greeted at the door was a cute touch to the great service from the Audrey Hepburn ladies :) It blows my mind on these bad reviews - first off have you really had French dining? Obviously not if your b!+€hing about only receiving one crepe (purple onion is down the street - stuff your face with crepes there). The crepes were done up nice, I had the apple cinnamon Carmel crepes, a taste of the asparagus mushroom crepe, a taste of French onion soup and the chicken spinach julienne.... All of it was awesome and made me full. The service was phenomenal too- relaxed, not overly being bothered - that's the vibe of this place though (mc Donald's is down the street and they have a great drive through window if you don't like the service at le crepe). The inside is very home like and classy. Not your typical modern dt chi restaurant. It lbs kind of in a category all by it self - fancy yet friendly! Def. a perfect place for a shower or party, date night or anniversary. Can't wait to come here at night !
(5)Mig M.
THIS RESTAURANT CONTINUES TO BE GREAT, I HAVE TRIED MANY OF THEIR DISHES AND WE KEEP COMING BACK. TODAY IT WAS NO DIFFERENT, JUST ONE EXEMPTION. Le Creme Brûlée was somewhat disappointing, it lack flavor, maybe we are accustomed to different recipes, The following come to mind, one which has amaretto, another one Grand Marnier, one more with maple syrup....mmmmh. Also the vanilla bean needs to be scraped. Sorry, but ... Keep up the excellent cooking.
(5)Scott H.
Had a great meal for any location, absolutely the top shelf for the area. Service is leisurely but deliberately so... Fostering conversation and the sharing of the experience. Plenty of French bistro offerings and a few American dishes for those not wanting to be Continental.
(5)Toni F.
This is an adorable place!! The ambiance is very french - right down to the waitstaff uniforms - "little black dresses" with a beaded Eiffel Tower on the back - darling!! I wanted to meet a friend for coffee in the area so we settled on La Crepe Bistro - instead of coffee we had Mimosas and a few items off the starter menu. The assorted cheese plate and the Grapes Chevre Bon Bons...just enough to fill our tummies before doing more Christmas shopping. The menu looks fabulous with a large variety of inventive crepes and other french standards. I am excited about going back to explore the lunch and dinner options. VERY happy there is a place like this in the area.
(4)Marggie S.
Gave it 3 stars for food. Disappointed with service. Everything going good then a large party arrived, we became invisible. Ate food then was thinking about the banana-Nutella crepe for dessert, no staff around. Had to find someone to get our bill. VERY disappointing.
(3)Mary K.
This is a brief review as I have neglected to write one despite the fact that I have been here three times already! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it....and so has everyone else I have brought here, including my husband. Love the ambience, service, food, etc. If this place was downtown Chicago, the prices would be triple....I can guarantee you that. Prices are mid-range, but well worth it. I could go every week if it were closer to me (probably a good thing it's a little bit of a drive.) When I want my "Paris" fix, this is where I go! Barbara C's review was spot-on! I'll be bringing a close friend there next week so share my "secret" find!
(5)Lindsay C.
The atmosphere is great. Everything is clean and beautiful. I give it a low rating because it is sooo very expensive for what it is. Be prepared to drop at least $40 a couple for breakfast.
(2)Tracy J.
Three stars for the actual restaurant. Very cute, very charming. Food is good. Taking off two stars because for one, it's very expensive! I paid $9.18 for one crepe (yes, ONE crepe.) Also, the owner or boss seems kind of bitchy. All the other girls seem nice.
(3)C G.
I had the ham and cheese crepe as well as tried the peaches and cream crepe. Both were delicious and filling! This place has super cute decorations and is fun for a girls breakfast/lunch! This is a hidden gem in my opinion.
(5)Karen S.
Gorgeous, trendy, upscale decor. Very comfortable. Food was good. Lower star rating is the result of mediocre service. Waited upon sitting down, asked for water more than once, forgot a few things we asked for. In general the service was slow when restaurant wasn't evem full. I will try again based on the delicious meal.
(3)Alyce I.
A small little gem in Homer Glen! This is unlike any other breakfast place. The atmosphere was lovely, great service and delicious food. Prices are slightly more than your typical breakfast place but its well worth it. I've been to Paris and while the crepes are not exactly the same this was a very great alternative (and cheaper to get there!) Would DEFINITELY be back again.
(5)Rhonda H.
Have had lunch here several times and today, co-hosted a baby shower. Everything was wonderful. The wait staff was very attentive , food delicious and all of the guests had a lovely afternoon. The restaurant is so nicely decorated, we basically just showed up. Best baby shower I've ever thrown.
(5)K H.
Excellent food, service and and value. Gold Coast French cuisine quality without the hassle of crowds, parking and travel. The owners and staff are very accommodating and treat everyone like VIPs.
(5)Giorgia C.
I've been so excited to check this place out!! I love French food and this restaurant is located right by my house. Because of time restrictions, had to carry out rather than dining in. The wait was short, considering they were busy. Ordered the turbinado sugar and French butter creeps and an order of fries. Meh. The order of fries cost $4 and it wasn't even the equivalent of what you would find in a child's meal. A few fries sprinkled with parsley. Not what I was expecting. The crepe (one single crepe) was slightly tough and greasy. Overall, the experience was a bummer. Id like to say I will give this place another chance...but don't really think so.
(2)Travis M.
Food, service, and decor was amazing. Crepes were super good and also the veal was amazing. Definitely a little magical hidden place in homer glen.
(5)Jennifer N.
Excellent food and service. I felt like a spent an afternoon in Paris. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The decor is sophisticated.
(5)Virginia C.
My husband and I stopped in this lovely, intimate restaurant tonight after dinner elsewhere with friends. We ordered dessert and coffee and lamented the fact that we hadn't had our main course here. The creme brûlée was amazing and the apple cinnamon creeps were sumptuous!!! What a quaint, romantic spot in our backyard. Can't wait to go back for the entrees!!
(5)Lexie S.
C'est magnifique! Eiffel towers, fleur de lis, french wine, crepes, cheese... I must be dreaming because I feel like I'm in Paris. This lovely french restaurant just gets better and better. I imagine they get busy as well for brunch, but we came here for a Friday night dinner. They seem to be the talk of the town because the place was packed! We didn't have a reservation, but did not have to wait for a table. The attention to detail here is truly remarkable, ambiance is spectacular, service is professional and friendly, and the food is simply divine! Really, you will not be disappointed with this little hidden gem in the suburbs. The Good: With "crepe" in the title, you can't come here and not order the crepes! The seafood crepe is always a front-runner, but today I tried the baked salmon crepe and I found a new favorite! The salmon was tender and just melts in your mouth with the bechamel sauce. Also, the escargots with chanterelles from the specials menu was heavenly! If you're a desert person, you may have a hard time deciding what to order. I know we did because there are just so many mouthwatering choices! We split the crepe suzette: traditional sweet crepe with vanilla ice cream, garnished with citrus fruit and kiwi. Mmmm... we practically licked the plate clean! The Bad: That I don't have a bigger stomach! I would love to try something in addition to the crepes... but I just had no room. I think next time, I will split a crepe as an appetizer and perhaps order an entree for dinner. In true french fashion, they have duck confit and frog legs, too! Would love to expand my horizons and sample other items off the menu. The Oh-So-BEAUTIFUL: I think the owner must have a background in interior design because the space has impeccable decor. It's romantic, charming and unlike any other place I've seen before with quality linens, vintage serving pieces, fresh orchids, domed cake plates, fancy dining chairs, mercury glass footed candle holders, modern crystal chandeliers and much MUCH more! Every corner of the restaurant has its own focal point, so there's not a bad table in the house. Come for a great meal, but you also get some marvelous ideas and inspirations for decorating. Now, one thing that will definitely catch your attention are the adorable uniforms for the servers... the girls look stunning in little black dresses with an Eiffel Tower on a sheer back. Viva La France in Homer Glen!
(5)Kelly Z.
Love this restaurant! Beautiful decor and excellent food. Great place for ladies. The crepes are delicious! Portions aren't huge but definitely satisfying.
(5)Maggie K.
I loved it! I was not expecting something so glamorous in a strip mall in Homer and was very pleasantly surprised. We went for brunch in a Sunday. The food was wonderful, I had a savory crepe while my husband had a mixed berry. The doughs- sweet and savory- were amazing and nothing like that of the 'crepes' at local greasy spoons. The dinner menu looked extensive and delicious though a bit expensive. I can't wait to try it for lunch or dinner.
(4)Aliyah R.
Delicious, friendly, extremely authentic. Truly the best crepes I've had outside of Paris.
(5)Barbara C.
La Crepe Bistro is truly is a hidden gem in Homer Glen and I believe that it deserves more recognition for it's outstanding decor, service, and food. I currently live in Homer Glen and I can tell you that you will not find a place like La Crepe anywhere else in Homer or it's surrounding towns. With that being said, here is my review for you fellow Yelpers out there: As you walk in, you will typically be greeted and seated by an employee. The first thing you will notice is La Crepe's beautiful Parisian/Vintage like decor and ambiance. It automatically gives you a comfortable yet fancy vibe. There is no super fancy dress code expectation, so no worries- but I wouldn't advise pajama pants if that's what you're thinking. There is already a drink menu placed on your table already but you will be given a food menu promptly as you are seated. There are two divisions to this restaurant - one smaller dining section near the entrance, and a bigger, more private, dining area on your right-hand side. They also serve wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages such as martinis. I typically come in with my girlfriends during the morning or afternoon to grab some coffee, mimosas and sweet crepes. Their crepes are pretty big and filling and their lattes (hot or iced) and cappuccinos are excellent. I can't speak for anything else because all I ever get are their sweet crepes, mimosas, and variety of coffees. All which are very satisfying and delicious. You could tell that they put in a lot of thought and creativity when it comes to your food and drinks because both will be wonderfully garnished and served. It has a European feel to it to serve it's purpose as a French Bistro. One main reason I love going here is because I have yet to experience a wait for a table. It is quiet, it is intimate, it is reserved, it is elegant, and it is perfect for lunch/coffee with a friend or whoever. What it is not - is a place for you to bring around 10 running loose and loud children after soccer practice. Service is very friendly, professional, and attentive. I would not say they are very expensive. For example, I pay around $14 for a cappuccino and strawberry with chocolate crepe. I wasn't aware that they do take-out, but I'm not sure why anyone would even consider doing take-out here. This is a place where people go to actually sit down, relax, converse with one another, and soak in the ambiance. If you want to do take-out, I'd say go to Chili's down the street or IHop in Orland Park ... Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place if you're trying to go on a coffee & sweets date, catch up with an old friend, business related lunch (there's no loud music to talk over), or that french bistro dine in experience with friends and family. It's mostly crepes tho ! Hence the title, La CREPE Bistro. They do have appetizers that are non-crepe related, though.
(5)Debbie B.
Great food and service! Scallops and pasta delish. Went with family for a pre-mothers day dinner and all we ordered was fantastic. Creme brûlée for dessert and the coffee was perfect.
(4)Maureen D.
My husband surprised me with dinner here for my birthday and it was the best surprise. Everyone was so wonderful, the food was terrific, and the most attentive service. Highly recommend this venue.
(5)aj b.
What a great little place in Homer Glen! Crepes were delicious and service was great! Salmon in béchamel sauce was bit overcooked but dish was very tasty. Apple crepes were amazing! They had this little frisée salad as of decoration to the savory crepe and it was so well dressed and delicious that next time I definitely ordering a salad! Will be back for sure!
(4)Benjamin R.
La Crepe was FANtastic and we were super excited to find it somewhat near our new digs. Really great atmosphere, very frenchy and charming. The wait staff was excellent and very welcoming, though it is a bit of a more relaxed pace meal, like a real French restaurant. Expect a little time to digest between courses. We got a salad with duck bacon which was really good and really fresh. I had a very nice glass of wine. Entrees were a savory Beef Bourguignon crepe which was excellent and Chicken Fricassee, which was even better. For dessert we got a Grand Marnier crepe and a simple butter and sugar crepe. They were both good, but I think the simple one was best. Across the board everything we had was delicious, and the environment is charmingly classy while still being relaxed enough to feel like you could stop in for dinner any time. And it was all kind of surprisingly inexpensive too. We'll be back many times.
(5)Rich R.
I get to write their first review! This place is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant world of steak and Italian beef joints. The decor is unique and matches the trendy menu. The crepes are light and imaginatively adorned. I've had the duck and ratatouille, along with a dessert crepe and both were delicious. The service is efficient and mirror the trendy sophistication of the total experience. They deserve to be supported so what are you waiting for?
(5)Pierre Marcel L.
This place is what I would think a french bistro would look like in France the service was great the French onion soup was utterly delicious enough to spilt between two people also had the beef bourguignon crepe which reminded me a an upscale beef stew could have had a whole bowl of that alone also had the cog au vin which was very yummy in that cream sauce it was in and for dessert the apple crepe was the best bite of the night and the chocolate souffle well let's just say if you love chocolate it's for you great place will definitely be going back again soon
(5)Toula K.
Love the theme and attention to detail. The atmosphere makes u feel like ur in the city, not Homer Glen. The menu tremendous and food very delicious. Have been back already. I love that u can go there for a full meal or just dessert and a cappuccino.
(5)Carol H.
This place is amazing. We have been to la crepe bistro about 10 times and have always been impressed with the quality of the food and service! I highly recommend the croissant sandwich or any sweet crepe for breakfast. The sweet creeps are also a great way to end a wonderful dinner. My favorite dinner entree is the steak frites which is a very tender filet mignon with a wonderful sauce that has a hint of blue cheese. The French fries that come with it are also fantastic. If you like mussels, give them a try. They are better that the ones I had in France! The decor of the restaurant is also very tastefully done. You feel like you are truly in France instead of a strip mall in Homer Glen.
(5)Patrice G.
What an unexpected surprise! Met some friends here the other night. The restaurant is small, but ambiance is so welcoming. I really could have sat there for hours! I was delighted to find that they actually had gluten free crepes upon request!!!Ordered the coq au vin crepe...delicious! Since the meal isn't oversized (fine by me), I had room for an apple cinnamon crepe for dessert. Again, scrumptious! Our waitress was wonderful as well. Patiently waited for us to leave since it was getting close to closing time (I guess we did sit there for hours!) Can't wait to return!
(4)Elsie C.
The crepes were good. The service was slow. We were forgotten a bit. The banana mousse tasted more like banana baby food. The creme brûlée was burnt.
(3)Victor M.
Super good! I had the duck salad
(5)Dan P.
Make a reservation
(4)T S.
The hostess/waitress was so welcoming, the service was perfectly professional, and the food was delicious. We tried both sweet and savory crepes, and we were all very pleased. (AND the coffee...some of the smoothest I've tasted!) Make this Bistro your place for any occasion!
(5)Ann L.
I ate there last night with my daughter and son-in-law. This is some of the best food you will ever eat. Don't be deceived by the name. Yes, it has crepes--we had a coq au vin crepe for an appetizer, and a banana nutella one for dessert. Put your diet on hold for that dessert! It was enough to share with 3 people. I had one of the most tender fillets I have ever eaten. My daughter had sea bass, and my son-in law had lamb shank. The point is--there are tons of things on the menu besides crepes! This is such a fabulous place that I don't want to lose it! There are not too many choices in the south suburbs other than Italian restaurants. Unlike downtown, there is plenty of parking with in a free lot. Go go go !
(5)Sophie J.
Love going there and I have introduced quite a few people to it. Food is excellent and the place is very nice inside.
(5)Jack W.
Service sucks - this place needs cold shower or management who knows what to do. Places has great potential , it's nicely decorated and has a character. We waited 20 min to order drinks , and 20 min for check- I rather sit home 40min honestly. Food is good but 1 crepe for $10 I call expensive
(1)Sarah V.
This a beautiful little restaurant with high quality French food. I eat here often, as my office is just a few doors down. The French onion soup and lobster bisque are exceptional. I also like the brie and prosciutto crepe, and any of the desert crepes. La Crepe catered a few events at my office. We requested bite sized appetizers and deserts for about 50 people. We were blown away by the beautiful food La Crepe provided at an extremely reasonable price. I also appreciated that they let us use their serving platters for the party. This is the perfect place for a romantic evening, or for a ladies' night out.
(5)Dipika V.
Great service and ambiance. Best crepes around the area. Definitely worth the money.
(5)Seth M.
Always a wonderful experience! The food is amazing, from the crepes that are always perfect to the soups and entrees!
(5)Mary O.
Can't wait to go back
(5)Lea C.
What a cute find! In real life this place rocks as a 4.2~ That 5 is for when I'm totally blown out of the water. But for certain I will be back to explore the menu. I ate alone on a balmy fall day in September 2013 - what I had: Escorgots - tender and flavorful. Served in shell so all that great sauce can't really be dipped in with bread. Accompanying bread is dill seasoned so that is nice. Onion soup- okay, nothing special - hence some of the drop in stars. Ordered mine with light cheese as globs of it is too much for me. Sea bass with potato puree - bass seasoned wonderfully champagne sauce delish. Potato puree bland, salt and pepper would have worked nice. But it complemented sauce well. Salad light and refreshing. Next time I'll get dessert or a sweet crepe. This place is good enough to warrant a next time! And that is so rare for me, as it is many many restaurants to try in Chicago and neighboring areas. Happy eats People!
(4)Valerie B.
Impressed! I have been meaning to get here since it opened and just couldn't seem to get there. Went today with husband and almost 5 year old. Décor is awesome, fancy and comfy at the same time. I wasn't sure my son would be able to sit for the meal, but he did great (Amish crepe - peanut butter and marshmallow cream helped). I had the cheese plate, which was great with pineapple moscato. Porcini mushroom soup was good. Service was top notch - and servers looked gorgeous in black dresses with backless Eiffel Tower, up dos with fake pearls.
(5)Cyndee C.
This place is a winner. My daughter & I had two wonderful main course crepes for lunch today, followed by a yummy seasonal dessert crepe. Our server, Eva was very attentive, friendly & efficient.

Delicious crepes. Very nice waitstaff. A little pricey but everything seemed high quality so it was justified. Will definitely be back.

A friend recommended this restaurant to me which I have driven by countless times thinking it was just another strip mall breakfast place. It is in fact a real French restaurant which I was pleasantly surprised to find out. Some of the most wonderful memories of my life are from the time my wife and I spent in Paris so we were very much looking forward to dining at this establishment. We definitely need more places like this in the southwest suburbs. Now for the nuts and bolts, they have a great menu and for the most part the chef executed it competently. They really dropped the ball on the service however. Our group of four had 5:30 reservations on Saturday night and at that time there were probably only three or four other groups of people dining so the ratio of servers to tables was not an issue. What was an issue however was getting any of them to serve us. As I mentioned it was not crowded and it is a small space so the evening did not get off on the right foot when we had to wait 15 minutes for any of the servers to even stop by the table and take a drink order. It definitely set a bizarre tone. We ordered three appetizers, the mussels, scallops and cheese plate and they were all very good. They really dropped the ball on my dinner however. I ordered the steak frites and specifically and clearly ordered it medium rare. When it arrived at the table it was beyond well done. When I pointed this out to the server she said that she thought I said medium well. How she could have heard that I will never know and frankly most restaurants make it standard operating procedure to repeat and verify a medium well request just to make sure that is what the customer really wants. They did cook a new steak for me but that led to the uncomfortable sitting and waiting while everybody else has their meal. My wife shared her duck with me and by the time my steak came out I told them to just wrap it up to go. That was very disappointing especially when you consider that with drinks the meal averaged $55.00 per person. A great customer relations move would have been to offer us a free desert or reduce the bill a bit to make up for the poor service and execution in the kitchen but alas that was not to be. The final kicker was this, when we requested the bill and went to pay with a credit card we were informed that "the internet was down" and they could not process credit cards. We had cash and paid the bill but what if we didn't? Most people don't carry around a lot of cash these days, were we to go to a cash station or wait for the internet to start working again LOL?! The 2 stars that I am giving this is more a reflection on the overall poor customer experience than a knock on the cooking. I am happy that a restaurant like this dots the Homer Glen landscape and I hope they have many successful years ahead of them but for me the service did not match the price point. I won't be going back.

Agree with all comments as for decor and food. The interior is great, the hostesses/ waitresses are nice and welcoming. But apparently the manager or owner does not appreciate her clients and their comfort. This sunday we reserved a table for 10 people to surprise our friend with 50th birthday. We were sitting on the left side as you walk in to the bistro. And half of us were disturbed and blinded by the sun, shining through the entrance door. We asked the waitress if she could do something to partially cover the window to make us able to see each other. They have some kind of black blinds rolled up and have those nice panels for decorations. If you could just spread the panels a little, it'll cover the sun and everyone would be happy. For the black blinds or rollers, we were told that it is impossible to roll them down, so we adjusted those nice panels. After we adjusted them the waitress came and returned them into the same position. We asked why, but she could not answer and just said that she is sorry and she cannot do anything about that. At mean time the LADY OWNER was watching this behind the bar and could not manage to come to our table and explain why it is so hard to make the shade. So we went to her for a talk, and guess what she said "do not ruin her decorations" or to be exact what she said was- "do not make a mess", and she was worried about aesthetics of the window, not about client feeling uncomfortable and unpleasant. Probably for her the bistro is only for eating purposes: Come In ,Order, and eat concentrating on the plate. Guess what MISS FRENCH BISTRO OWNER- YOU ARE WRONG - PEOPLE COME NOT ONLY TO EAT BUT TO SOCIALIZE ALSO, AND SOCIALIZATION ISNT POSSIBLE WITHOUT SEEING PEOPLE. Is it too much to ask to take care of the problem, the client asks. And it was not the first time with the same problem. But earlier we were moved to the table were sun did not disturbed us. Sorry, despite all good food and pleasant interior we will not coming back. By the way on that sunday salads were a bit old and not crispy at all. So apparently the food is not always good. Hmmm

Went for our anniversary dinner and was REALLY pleased by the experience. The ambience is charming, the waitstaff solicitous and I loved the food. Had the duck ratatouille and it was just lovely. It felt like a bit of downtown tin the southern suburbs. Our wait time wasn't particularly long and would have been worth the wait in any case! Agree it does not appear to be kid friendly ( and hooray for that) but Homer Glen has access to plenty of those. Will definitely be going back!

I have been here a number of times and love the food! I haven't had a crepe I did not like. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. I attended a wedding shower here today and they did a fabulous job of serving everyone at the same time and again, the food was outstanding. I can't wait to go back and try a new crepe!
(5)V K.
Outstanding! How refreshing to find this lovely little bistro amongst the mediocre food establishments that surround it.

This was a surprising find in the south suburbs. We loved the ambiance, good service and wonderful, creative dishes. It's hard to find restaurants of this caliber outside the city. We dined with our 3yr old & 3 mo. old on a Friday night, we requested an out of the way corner table and felt very comfortable. The food was superb. We ordered the prunes stuffed with foie gras, beet salad, lobster bisque soup, lamb chops, veal scallopine, and a crepe for our 3 yr old. Each dish was well executed. The sides were fresh and unique choices perfectly complimenting our dishes. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of food. For dessert, we ordered the banana Nutella crepe which is a must have! We will definitely add Le Crepe to our rotation of places we frequent, we were beyond impressed with this little bistro!
(5)Linas N.
Great food and great decor in an unassuming environment. Started with the cold beet soup followed by coq a vin and sea bass. Desert crepes were outstanding. Wine list limited, but worked just fine for us. Service attentive without being overbearing. Never would have expected such great food in a storefront in an otherwise empty strip center.
(5)Debbie M.
Good food. .. some was great, some blah. The lobster bisque was a big let down. No taste at all. The Beet salad was awesome. The cog a vin and beef bourguignon crepes were quite good but had to assemble ourselves! Weird. Crepe Suzette good but not flamed add it usually is. Crepe with ricotta was bet dry. All in all, food was 3.5, atmosphere a total 5 star, service was a 1. Awful. And for these prices, that is not right. Get rid of the attitude if you want to survive past the initial attraction
(3)Boris B.
Loved their food presentation, interiors and friendly service. Definetly a five star review. Will be back.
(5)Cynthia G.
This is a little slice of Paris in the Midwest! We found it on Yelp and drove to a strip mall in the Home Depot center....we didn't expect anything really special except we were hoping for some decent crepes. Mon dieu! Were we surprised when we crossed the threshold to this charmingly decorated authentic french bistro! We had delicious cappuccinos followed by savory crepes. I had the baked salmon w spinach and cream ...my daughter enjoyed the Nutella w bananas and strawberries. Wonderful. But to be honest...the ambience was the best part of the experience. The decor coupled w the musical selections were perfect. We had a relaxing and delightful experience! Good food...pleasant service...delicious French food...yes please!!
(5)SmartShopper R.
Five star, all the way. Had lunch here this past week with dear daughter-in-law and we will be back. Hopefully to host her baby shower! Delicious food, albeit a little pricey...but well worth every penny. You HAVE to get a latte and French macaroon for dessert. These aren't the coconut cookies most Americans know. These are little cakes held together with a delightful creme. Absolutely delicious. This place is perfect to celebrate special date. Now I want to go to France!...and will visit this place often until then. ;-)
(5)Beverly S.
Love this place. Beautiful inside and the meal presentation was outstanding! I have recommended this restaurant to many people and all have fallen in love. Our first visit to this restaurant was during the winter on a cold night. I felt like someone took me to Paris for the evening. Great music and ambiance. The food is always fresh and great.
(5)Baltic G.
Great for groups and service is outstanding ! We did couple parties this year and always is perfectly served by very professional servers! Food is outstanding and presented well. Ambience is at 5 stars!
(5)Anj S.
My entire family and all my friends love this place. Such a treasure to have in Homer Glen and the food is always fresh, tasty and well seasoned. A little on the pricey side so we only come here on special occasions.
(5)Liz V.
The food was decent, at best, and the service was terrible. We were there for a baby shower. The decor at the bistro was very French charming. There was one server for a party of fifty so when I asked for a coffee three times before I received it I was understanding. When one of the guests asked for a different dish because of an allergy she was treated poorly and harassed throughout the event. They gave her a hard time making it VERY clear that she was going to be charged for a new plate. Then they went on to tell her, "look around. Do you see how busy we are? We don't have time to make you a new dish. And if we do, YOU have to pay for it." When they asked for a manager they received the same response. Later, our guest went on to yelp about the experience and when the management saw the review they called our family member demanding the reviewer's phone number because they were outraged. The went on to say the guest was using vile language, which is not true of a mother of two who is a school teacher and who was surrounded by other guests who witnessed the interaction. This establishment is extremely rude and unprofessional and should probably try to work on their customer service instead of harassing a customer who just didn't want to eat something they are extremely allergic to.
(1)Mig M.
THIS RESTAURANT CONTINUES TO BE GREAT, I HAVE TRIED MANY OF THEIR DISHES AND WE KEEP COMING BACK. TODAY IT WAS NO DIFFERENT, JUST ONE EXEMPTION. Le Creme Brûlée was somewhat disappointing, it lack flavor, maybe we are accustomed to different recipes, The following come to mind, one which has amaretto, another one Grand Marnier, one more with maple syrup....mmmmh. Also the vanilla bean needs to be scraped. Sorry, but ... Keep up the excellent cooking.
(5)Scott H.
Had a great meal for any location, absolutely the top shelf for the area. Service is leisurely but deliberately so... Fostering conversation and the sharing of the experience. Plenty of French bistro offerings and a few American dishes for those not wanting to be Continental.
(5)John G.
What a charming place in the southern suburbs. They have turned a place in a strip mall to a little piece of France. The interior feels like a bistro in Paris and it smelled great. The food was equally exciting. We started with wine from a very reasonably priced list, although the choices of French wines was limited. Escargot came in snail shells with a fabulous garlic butter. Mussels were a little old but the sauce was good. French kisses were a hit, prunes stuffed with foie gras. We had lamb shank, half duck, veal chops, sea bass, and duck confit. Everyone liked their entree. The best was desserts. A classic crepe Suzette, crepes with peaches, and one with bananas and caramel.
(4)Dan K.
I'm typically not a fan of French food...but I left impressed. The portions were actually decent as well. We'll be back...

Today was our anniversary, 15 years on the 15th. Pretty special if I do say so myself so we needed a special place to celebrate. A friend had recommended this restaurant and in spite of the fact that it was in a strip mall in Homer Glen we trusted her. From the minute I saw the Eiffel Tower out front I knew I would adore this restaurant and I was right. At lunchtime it is a definite "Ladies who do Lunch" kind of place, in fact for most of the meal, Cliff was the only man. The restaurant is large and comfy. Tables are spread out so you can't hear other people's conversations. Plus, you feel like you could talk with your hands and not smack someone. I love my space! My only problem was that I wanted to order every single thing on the menu. As this is not a cheap place, that would have created some financial problems so I restrained myself. I talked my darling hubby into splitting a Coq au Vin crepe with me for an appetizer. It was breathtakingly delicious! It had a little salad with the best dressing I have ever tasted. If they sold that stuff I would be guzzling it right now. For my entree I had the lamb chops because I am a fool for lamb. These chops were superb and came with mint jelly which I know is not trendy but I adore it with lamb. I accompanied this with crisp and tasty iced tea. When I requested additional ice in came in a goblet with tongs. Wow! For dessert I had one macaroon which was good. I also had the fresh peaches and cream crepe and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. It was the best peach food I have ever had. I accompanied dessert with coffee and sighs of pleasure. A very special luncheon for a very special day. Perfect!
(5)Margarita And Edward M.
Went there this morning. What a beautiful place inside: from the decor to the table settings. They have accomplished a difficult task of making it casual to very elegant within the same space. What a wonderful experience. The food transports you to a bistro in Paris. My wife and I enjoy savory so we had coq au vin, and mushroom crepes. They were great with adding ingredients to our liking (gruyere cheese and chicken). The crepes light and the ingredients perfectly done! The homemade rasberry cheese cake was heavenly, so light and airy. The service attentive, friendly and do not overshadow the experience of the ambiance and the food. What a wonderful discovery for this area...you can escape the cookie cutter corporate restaurants of the Orland mall area for a wonderfully eclectic, romantic dining experience.
(5)Mark o.
Very nice place don't come in work clothes it's a a lot fancier than it looks... Good place to bring a date the help are wearing elegant dresses
(5)Larry P.
Wonderful! Great atmosphere. Lobster Bisque is excellent. French Martinis fabulous. Crepes light and fluffy. It is a keeper.
(5)Daniel M.
A surprisingly nice and unique place to eat this far from Chicago. I have not tried my meal yet but I am already impressed and enjoying the atmosphere. The choice of drinks are unique and the food options are too. A must try.
(5)A N.
I was impressed with this place. Having been to several French restaurants throughout the U.S., I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food and ambience were. The crepes, desserts, & wine are DELICIOUS! Usually when I want to find a good French restaurant I have to go somewhere in the city, but this restaurant is truly first class. It does not look fancy from the outside, but as soon as you step in you are in a different world. Also love that you have an outdoor patio. Overall a pleasant experience.
(5)C T.
This place is my recent favorite place for brunch. I do not mind to travel to the downtown of Chicago for good crepes, but I no longer have to. The crepes here were all excellent. I also love lobster bisque and French cheesecake. Highly recommended.
(5)Kadee D.
I'm finally glad to see a place around this so called " rich" Homer Glen area. It's about time we start seeing a little fine dining as opposed to what we have around here. Being greeted at the door was a cute touch to the great service from the Audrey Hepburn ladies :) It blows my mind on these bad reviews - first off have you really had French dining? Obviously not if your b!+€hing about only receiving one crepe (purple onion is down the street - stuff your face with crepes there). The crepes were done up nice, I had the apple cinnamon Carmel crepes, a taste of the asparagus mushroom crepe, a taste of French onion soup and the chicken spinach julienne.... All of it was awesome and made me full. The service was phenomenal too- relaxed, not overly being bothered - that's the vibe of this place though (mc Donald's is down the street and they have a great drive through window if you don't like the service at le crepe). The inside is very home like and classy. Not your typical modern dt chi restaurant. It lbs kind of in a category all by it self - fancy yet friendly! Def. a perfect place for a shower or party, date night or anniversary. Can't wait to come here at night !
(5)Melaine K.
Amazing! Surpassed my expectations expectations. The food was amazing. The ambiance is to die for. I will be back!!!
(5)Toni F.
This is an adorable place!! The ambiance is very french - right down to the waitstaff uniforms - "little black dresses" with a beaded Eiffel Tower on the back - darling!! I wanted to meet a friend for coffee in the area so we settled on La Crepe Bistro - instead of coffee we had Mimosas and a few items off the starter menu. The assorted cheese plate and the Grapes Chevre Bon Bons...just enough to fill our tummies before doing more Christmas shopping. The menu looks fabulous with a large variety of inventive crepes and other french standards. I am excited about going back to explore the lunch and dinner options. VERY happy there is a place like this in the area.
(4)Marggie S.
Gave it 3 stars for food. Disappointed with service. Everything going good then a large party arrived, we became invisible. Ate food then was thinking about the banana-Nutella crepe for dessert, no staff around. Had to find someone to get our bill. VERY disappointing.
(3)Mary K.
This is a brief review as I have neglected to write one despite the fact that I have been here three times already! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it....and so has everyone else I have brought here, including my husband. Love the ambience, service, food, etc. If this place was downtown Chicago, the prices would be triple....I can guarantee you that. Prices are mid-range, but well worth it. I could go every week if it were closer to me (probably a good thing it's a little bit of a drive.) When I want my "Paris" fix, this is where I go! Barbara C's review was spot-on! I'll be bringing a close friend there next week so share my "secret" find!
(5)Lindsay C.
The atmosphere is great. Everything is clean and beautiful. I give it a low rating because it is sooo very expensive for what it is. Be prepared to drop at least $40 a couple for breakfast.
(2)Tracy J.
Three stars for the actual restaurant. Very cute, very charming. Food is good. Taking off two stars because for one, it's very expensive! I paid $9.18 for one crepe (yes, ONE crepe.) Also, the owner or boss seems kind of bitchy. All the other girls seem nice.
(3)Maggie K.
I loved it! I was not expecting something so glamorous in a strip mall in Homer and was very pleasantly surprised. We went for brunch in a Sunday. The food was wonderful, I had a savory crepe while my husband had a mixed berry. The doughs- sweet and savory- were amazing and nothing like that of the 'crepes' at local greasy spoons. The dinner menu looked extensive and delicious though a bit expensive. I can't wait to try it for lunch or dinner.
(4)Aliyah R.
Delicious, friendly, extremely authentic. Truly the best crepes I've had outside of Paris.
(5)Lexie S.
C'est magnifique! Eiffel towers, fleur de lis, french wine, crepes, cheese... I must be dreaming because I feel like I'm in Paris. This lovely french restaurant just gets better and better. I imagine they get busy as well for brunch, but we came here for a Friday night dinner. They seem to be the talk of the town because the place was packed! We didn't have a reservation, but did not have to wait for a table. The attention to detail here is truly remarkable, ambiance is spectacular, service is professional and friendly, and the food is simply divine! Really, you will not be disappointed with this little hidden gem in the suburbs. The Good: With "crepe" in the title, you can't come here and not order the crepes! The seafood crepe is always a front-runner, but today I tried the baked salmon crepe and I found a new favorite! The salmon was tender and just melts in your mouth with the bechamel sauce. Also, the escargots with chanterelles from the specials menu was heavenly! If you're a desert person, you may have a hard time deciding what to order. I know we did because there are just so many mouthwatering choices! We split the crepe suzette: traditional sweet crepe with vanilla ice cream, garnished with citrus fruit and kiwi. Mmmm... we practically licked the plate clean! The Bad: That I don't have a bigger stomach! I would love to try something in addition to the crepes... but I just had no room. I think next time, I will split a crepe as an appetizer and perhaps order an entree for dinner. In true french fashion, they have duck confit and frog legs, too! Would love to expand my horizons and sample other items off the menu. The Oh-So-BEAUTIFUL: I think the owner must have a background in interior design because the space has impeccable decor. It's romantic, charming and unlike any other place I've seen before with quality linens, vintage serving pieces, fresh orchids, domed cake plates, fancy dining chairs, mercury glass footed candle holders, modern crystal chandeliers and much MUCH more! Every corner of the restaurant has its own focal point, so there's not a bad table in the house. Come for a great meal, but you also get some marvelous ideas and inspirations for decorating. Now, one thing that will definitely catch your attention are the adorable uniforms for the servers... the girls look stunning in little black dresses with an Eiffel Tower on a sheer back. Viva La France in Homer Glen!
(5)Karen S.
Gorgeous, trendy, upscale decor. Very comfortable. Food was good. Lower star rating is the result of mediocre service. Waited upon sitting down, asked for water more than once, forgot a few things we asked for. In general the service was slow when restaurant wasn't evem full. I will try again based on the delicious meal.
(3)C G.
I had the ham and cheese crepe as well as tried the peaches and cream crepe. Both were delicious and filling! This place has super cute decorations and is fun for a girls breakfast/lunch! This is a hidden gem in my opinion.
(5)Kelly Z.
Love this restaurant! Beautiful decor and excellent food. Great place for ladies. The crepes are delicious! Portions aren't huge but definitely satisfying.
(5)Barbara C.
La Crepe Bistro is truly is a hidden gem in Homer Glen and I believe that it deserves more recognition for it's outstanding decor, service, and food. I currently live in Homer Glen and I can tell you that you will not find a place like La Crepe anywhere else in Homer or it's surrounding towns. With that being said, here is my review for you fellow Yelpers out there: As you walk in, you will typically be greeted and seated by an employee. The first thing you will notice is La Crepe's beautiful Parisian/Vintage like decor and ambiance. It automatically gives you a comfortable yet fancy vibe. There is no super fancy dress code expectation, so no worries- but I wouldn't advise pajama pants if that's what you're thinking. There is already a drink menu placed on your table already but you will be given a food menu promptly as you are seated. There are two divisions to this restaurant - one smaller dining section near the entrance, and a bigger, more private, dining area on your right-hand side. They also serve wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages such as martinis. I typically come in with my girlfriends during the morning or afternoon to grab some coffee, mimosas and sweet crepes. Their crepes are pretty big and filling and their lattes (hot or iced) and cappuccinos are excellent. I can't speak for anything else because all I ever get are their sweet crepes, mimosas, and variety of coffees. All which are very satisfying and delicious. You could tell that they put in a lot of thought and creativity when it comes to your food and drinks because both will be wonderfully garnished and served. It has a European feel to it to serve it's purpose as a French Bistro. One main reason I love going here is because I have yet to experience a wait for a table. It is quiet, it is intimate, it is reserved, it is elegant, and it is perfect for lunch/coffee with a friend or whoever. What it is not - is a place for you to bring around 10 running loose and loud children after soccer practice. Service is very friendly, professional, and attentive. I would not say they are very expensive. For example, I pay around $14 for a cappuccino and strawberry with chocolate crepe. I wasn't aware that they do take-out, but I'm not sure why anyone would even consider doing take-out here. This is a place where people go to actually sit down, relax, converse with one another, and soak in the ambiance. If you want to do take-out, I'd say go to Chili's down the street or IHop in Orland Park ... Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place if you're trying to go on a coffee & sweets date, catch up with an old friend, business related lunch (there's no loud music to talk over), or that french bistro dine in experience with friends and family. It's mostly crepes tho ! Hence the title, La CREPE Bistro. They do have appetizers that are non-crepe related, though.
(5)Debbie B.
Great food and service! Scallops and pasta delish. Went with family for a pre-mothers day dinner and all we ordered was fantastic. Creme brûlée for dessert and the coffee was perfect.
(4)Maureen D.
My husband surprised me with dinner here for my birthday and it was the best surprise. Everyone was so wonderful, the food was terrific, and the most attentive service. Highly recommend this venue.
(5)Alyce I.
A small little gem in Homer Glen! This is unlike any other breakfast place. The atmosphere was lovely, great service and delicious food. Prices are slightly more than your typical breakfast place but its well worth it. I've been to Paris and while the crepes are not exactly the same this was a very great alternative (and cheaper to get there!) Would DEFINITELY be back again.
(5)Rhonda H.
Have had lunch here several times and today, co-hosted a baby shower. Everything was wonderful. The wait staff was very attentive , food delicious and all of the guests had a lovely afternoon. The restaurant is so nicely decorated, we basically just showed up. Best baby shower I've ever thrown.
(5)Ann L.
I ate there last night with my daughter and son-in-law. This is some of the best food you will ever eat. Don't be deceived by the name. Yes, it has crepes--we had a coq au vin crepe for an appetizer, and a banana nutella one for dessert. Put your diet on hold for that dessert! It was enough to share with 3 people. I had one of the most tender fillets I have ever eaten. My daughter had sea bass, and my son-in law had lamb shank. The point is--there are tons of things on the menu besides crepes! This is such a fabulous place that I don't want to lose it! There are not too many choices in the south suburbs other than Italian restaurants. Unlike downtown, there is plenty of parking with in a free lot. Go go go !
(5)Sophie J.
Love going there and I have introduced quite a few people to it. Food is excellent and the place is very nice inside.
(5)Jack W.
Service sucks - this place needs cold shower or management who knows what to do. Places has great potential , it's nicely decorated and has a character. We waited 20 min to order drinks , and 20 min for check- I rather sit home 40min honestly. Food is good but 1 crepe for $10 I call expensive
(1)Sarah V.
This a beautiful little restaurant with high quality French food. I eat here often, as my office is just a few doors down. The French onion soup and lobster bisque are exceptional. I also like the brie and prosciutto crepe, and any of the desert crepes. La Crepe catered a few events at my office. We requested bite sized appetizers and deserts for about 50 people. We were blown away by the beautiful food La Crepe provided at an extremely reasonable price. I also appreciated that they let us use their serving platters for the party. This is the perfect place for a romantic evening, or for a ladies' night out.
(5)Dipika V.
Great service and ambiance. Best crepes around the area. Definitely worth the money.
(5)Lea C.
What a cute find! In real life this place rocks as a 4.2~ That 5 is for when I'm totally blown out of the water. But for certain I will be back to explore the menu. I ate alone on a balmy fall day in September 2013 - what I had: Escorgots - tender and flavorful. Served in shell so all that great sauce can't really be dipped in with bread. Accompanying bread is dill seasoned so that is nice. Onion soup- okay, nothing special - hence some of the drop in stars. Ordered mine with light cheese as globs of it is too much for me. Sea bass with potato puree - bass seasoned wonderfully champagne sauce delish. Potato puree bland, salt and pepper would have worked nice. But it complemented sauce well. Salad light and refreshing. Next time I'll get dessert or a sweet crepe. This place is good enough to warrant a next time! And that is so rare for me, as it is many many restaurants to try in Chicago and neighboring areas. Happy eats People!
(4)Giorgia C.
I've been so excited to check this place out!! I love French food and this restaurant is located right by my house. Because of time restrictions, had to carry out rather than dining in. The wait was short, considering they were busy. Ordered the turbinado sugar and French butter creeps and an order of fries. Meh. The order of fries cost $4 and it wasn't even the equivalent of what you would find in a child's meal. A few fries sprinkled with parsley. Not what I was expecting. The crepe (one single crepe) was slightly tough and greasy. Overall, the experience was a bummer. Id like to say I will give this place another chance...but don't really think so.
(2)Travis M.
Food, service, and decor was amazing. Crepes were super good and also the veal was amazing. Definitely a little magical hidden place in homer glen.
(5)Jennifer N.
Excellent food and service. I felt like a spent an afternoon in Paris. The presentation of the food was beautiful. The decor is sophisticated.
(5)Virginia C.
My husband and I stopped in this lovely, intimate restaurant tonight after dinner elsewhere with friends. We ordered dessert and coffee and lamented the fact that we hadn't had our main course here. The creme brûlée was amazing and the apple cinnamon creeps were sumptuous!!! What a quaint, romantic spot in our backyard. Can't wait to go back for the entrees!!
(5)Olivia H.
I am impressed with the fact that the owner personally contacted me to fix a small issue. I plan on going back with my family with the hope for a better experience.
(4)Cindy G.
This restaurant is a treasure! What a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding - the decor was just lovely - the staff were very friendly. I HAVE TO return to try the other items on the menu. The setting is so beautiful I just felt so good being there! I want to bring others there to enjoy this wonderful experience. I have found my new favorite restaurant!
(5)Seth M.
Always a wonderful experience! The food is amazing, from the crepes that are always perfect to the soups and entrees!
(5)Mary O.
Can't wait to go back

Excellent food, service and and value. Gold Coast French cuisine quality without the hassle of crowds, parking and travel. The owners and staff are very accommodating and treat everyone like VIPs.
(5)aj b.
What a great little place in Homer Glen! Crepes were delicious and service was great! Salmon in béchamel sauce was bit overcooked but dish was very tasty. Apple crepes were amazing! They had this little frisée salad as of decoration to the savory crepe and it was so well dressed and delicious that next time I definitely ordering a salad! Will be back for sure!
(4)Benjamin R.
La Crepe was FANtastic and we were super excited to find it somewhat near our new digs. Really great atmosphere, very frenchy and charming. The wait staff was excellent and very welcoming, though it is a bit of a more relaxed pace meal, like a real French restaurant. Expect a little time to digest between courses. We got a salad with duck bacon which was really good and really fresh. I had a very nice glass of wine. Entrees were a savory Beef Bourguignon crepe which was excellent and Chicken Fricassee, which was even better. For dessert we got a Grand Marnier crepe and a simple butter and sugar crepe. They were both good, but I think the simple one was best. Across the board everything we had was delicious, and the environment is charmingly classy while still being relaxed enough to feel like you could stop in for dinner any time. And it was all kind of surprisingly inexpensive too. We'll be back many times.
(5)Rich R.
I get to write their first review! This place is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant world of steak and Italian beef joints. The decor is unique and matches the trendy menu. The crepes are light and imaginatively adorned. I've had the duck and ratatouille, along with a dessert crepe and both were delicious. The service is efficient and mirror the trendy sophistication of the total experience. They deserve to be supported so what are you waiting for?
(5)Pierre Marcel L.
This place is what I would think a french bistro would look like in France the service was great the French onion soup was utterly delicious enough to spilt between two people also had the beef bourguignon crepe which reminded me a an upscale beef stew could have had a whole bowl of that alone also had the cog au vin which was very yummy in that cream sauce it was in and for dessert the apple crepe was the best bite of the night and the chocolate souffle well let's just say if you love chocolate it's for you great place will definitely be going back again soon
(5)Toula K.
Love the theme and attention to detail. The atmosphere makes u feel like ur in the city, not Homer Glen. The menu tremendous and food very delicious. Have been back already. I love that u can go there for a full meal or just dessert and a cappuccino.
(5)Carol H.
This place is amazing. We have been to la crepe bistro about 10 times and have always been impressed with the quality of the food and service! I highly recommend the croissant sandwich or any sweet crepe for breakfast. The sweet creeps are also a great way to end a wonderful dinner. My favorite dinner entree is the steak frites which is a very tender filet mignon with a wonderful sauce that has a hint of blue cheese. The French fries that come with it are also fantastic. If you like mussels, give them a try. They are better that the ones I had in France! The decor of the restaurant is also very tastefully done. You feel like you are truly in France instead of a strip mall in Homer Glen.
(5)Patrice G.
What an unexpected surprise! Met some friends here the other night. The restaurant is small, but ambiance is so welcoming. I really could have sat there for hours! I was delighted to find that they actually had gluten free crepes upon request!!!Ordered the coq au vin crepe...delicious! Since the meal isn't oversized (fine by me), I had room for an apple cinnamon crepe for dessert. Again, scrumptious! Our waitress was wonderful as well. Patiently waited for us to leave since it was getting close to closing time (I guess we did sit there for hours!) Can't wait to return!
(4)Elsie C.
The crepes were good. The service was slow. We were forgotten a bit. The banana mousse tasted more like banana baby food. The creme brûlée was burnt.

Super good! I had the duck salad

The hostess/waitress was so welcoming, the service was perfectly professional, and the food was delicious. We tried both sweet and savory crepes, and we were all very pleased. (AND the coffee...some of the smoothest I've tasted!) Make this Bistro your place for any occasion!

Impressed! I have been meaning to get here since it opened and just couldn't seem to get there. Went today with husband and almost 5 year old. Décor is awesome, fancy and comfy at the same time. I wasn't sure my son would be able to sit for the meal, but he did great (Amish crepe - peanut butter and marshmallow cream helped). I had the cheese plate, which was great with pineapple moscato. Porcini mushroom soup was good. Service was top notch - and servers looked gorgeous in black dresses with backless Eiffel Tower, up dos with fake pearls.

We visited La Crepe Bistro recently and found the food to be not only creative, but absolutely delicious! The wait staff was friendly and attentive and we were very much impressed by the decorating and décor of the establishment. We would definitely go back again, however...one little tip.... Please stop letting relatives/friends of the staff, and the staff members themselves, to go in and out of the front door all night and allowing them to smoke and loiter at the front of the restaurant. Is there not a back door that people who are associated with the restaurant can use? Unfortunately, this behavior detracts from the ambiance of the restaurant, but because this is so easily fixed, I am still going to leave 5 stars. You have a great establishment and I am really hoping to see you succeed!

Great place in a nondescript strip mall with great ambiance and even better food. We started with the beet salad and mushroom soup. We had three different kind of main course crepes and all were wondergul. We ended it all with the berry crepe which was wonderful as was the cappucino and the spiced pumpkin They have a nice choice of wines and drinks

Agree with all comments as for decor and food. The interior is great, the hostesses/ waitresses are nice and welcoming. But apparently the manager or owner does not appreciate her clients and their comfort. This sunday we reserved a table for 10 people to surprise our friend with 50th birthday. We were sitting on the left side as you walk in to the bistro. And half of us were disturbed and blinded by the sun, shining through the entrance door. We asked the waitress if she could do something to partially cover the window to make us able to see each other. They have some kind of black blinds rolled up and have those nice panels for decorations. If you could just spread the panels a little, it'll cover the sun and everyone would be happy. For the black blinds or rollers, we were told that it is impossible to roll them down, so we adjusted those nice panels. After we adjusted them the waitress came and returned them into the same position. We asked why, but she could not answer and just said that she is sorry and she cannot do anything about that. At mean time the LADY OWNER was watching this behind the bar and could not manage to come to our table and explain why it is so hard to make the shade. So we went to her for a talk, and guess what she said "do not ruin her decorations" or to be exact what she said was- "do not make a mess", and she was worried about aesthetics of the window, not about client feeling uncomfortable and unpleasant. Probably for her the bistro is only for eating purposes: Come In ,Order, and eat concentrating on the plate. Guess what MISS FRENCH BISTRO OWNER- YOU ARE WRONG - PEOPLE COME NOT ONLY TO EAT BUT TO SOCIALIZE ALSO, AND SOCIALIZATION ISNT POSSIBLE WITHOUT SEEING PEOPLE. Is it too much to ask to take care of the problem, the client asks. And it was not the first time with the same problem. But earlier we were moved to the table were sun did not disturbed us. Sorry, despite all good food and pleasant interior we will not coming back. By the way on that sunday salads were a bit old and not crispy at all. So apparently the food is not always good. Hmmm

This place is a winner. My daughter & I had two wonderful main course crepes for lunch today, followed by a yummy seasonal dessert crepe. Our server, Eva was very attentive, friendly & efficient. Liked the waitresses Eifel Tower dresses - very cool! Atmosphere & décor are very Parisian. The staff surprised my daughter with a raspberry tart with sherbet for her birthday. We'll be back again & again!!!

Delicious crepes. Very nice waitstaff. A little pricey but everything seemed high quality so it was justified. Will definitely be back.

My wife took me here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Although I'm a sausage and eggs kind of guy, that's not what this place does. So I did salmon & crepes. I was pleasantly surprised. What a great combination. I'm looking forward to going back to La Crepe Bistro for dinner. A great place...in the 'burbs !!

This was a surprising find in the south suburbs. We loved the ambiance, good service and wonderful, creative dishes. It's hard to find restaurants of this caliber outside the city. We dined with our 3yr old & 3 mo. old on a Friday night, we requested an out of the way corner table and felt very comfortable. The food was superb. We ordered the prunes stuffed with foie gras, beet salad, lobster bisque soup, lamb chops, veal scallopine, and a crepe for our 3 yr old. Each dish was well executed. The sides were fresh and unique choices perfectly complimenting our dishes. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of food. For dessert, we ordered the banana Nutella crepe which is a must have! We will definitely add Le Crepe to our rotation of places we frequent, we were beyond impressed with this little bistro!

Great food and great decor in an unassuming environment. Started with the cold beet soup followed by coq a vin and sea bass. Desert crepes were outstanding. Wine list limited, but worked just fine for us. Service attentive without being overbearing. Never would have expected such great food in a storefront in an otherwise empty strip center.

Outstanding! How refreshing to find this lovely little bistro amongst the mediocre food establishments that surround it.

Went for our anniversary dinner and was REALLY pleased by the experience. The ambience is charming, the waitstaff solicitous and I loved the food. Had the duck ratatouille and it was just lovely. It felt like a bit of downtown tin the southern suburbs. Our wait time wasn't particularly long and would have been worth the wait in any case! Agree it does not appear to be kid friendly ( and hooray for that) but Homer Glen has access to plenty of those. Will definitely be going back!

I have been here a number of times and love the food! I haven't had a crepe I did not like. The atmosphere is great and the service is excellent. I attended a wedding shower here today and they did a fabulous job of serving everyone at the same time and again, the food was outstanding. I can't wait to go back and try a new crepe!

This place is heaven. I came here with my mom for lunch today and was immediately drawn in by the charming decor. The atmosphere is so pretty, inviting, and comfortable. The food is all so fresh and made from scratch too... Best crepes ever! And there's also a great selection of organic wine to choose from as well! This is such a great addition to the neighborhood...it's so different from anything else in the area.

A friend recommended this restaurant to me which I have driven by countless times thinking it was just another strip mall breakfast place. It is in fact a real French restaurant which I was pleasantly surprised to find out. Some of the most wonderful memories of my life are from the time my wife and I spent in Paris so we were very much looking forward to dining at this establishment. We definitely need more places like this in the southwest suburbs. Now for the nuts and bolts, they have a great menu and for the most part the chef executed it competently. They really dropped the ball on the service however. Our group of four had 5:30 reservations on Saturday night and at that time there were probably only three or four other groups of people dining so the ratio of servers to tables was not an issue. What was an issue however was getting any of them to serve us. As I mentioned it was not crowded and it is a small space so the evening did not get off on the right foot when we had to wait 15 minutes for any of the servers to even stop by the table and take a drink order. It definitely set a bizarre tone. We ordered three appetizers, the mussels, scallops and cheese plate and they were all very good. They really dropped the ball on my dinner however. I ordered the steak frites and specifically and clearly ordered it medium rare. When it arrived at the table it was beyond well done. When I pointed this out to the server she said that she thought I said medium well. How she could have heard that I will never know and frankly most restaurants make it standard operating procedure to repeat and verify a medium well request just to make sure that is what the customer really wants. They did cook a new steak for me but that led to the uncomfortable sitting and waiting while everybody else has their meal. My wife shared her duck with me and by the time my steak came out I told them to just wrap it up to go. That was very disappointing especially when you consider that with drinks the meal averaged $55.00 per person. A great customer relations move would have been to offer us a free desert or reduce the bill a bit to make up for the poor service and execution in the kitchen but alas that was not to be. The final kicker was this, when we requested the bill and went to pay with a credit card we were informed that "the internet was down" and they could not process credit cards. We had cash and paid the bill but what if we didn't? Most people don't carry around a lot of cash these days, were we to go to a cash station or wait for the internet to start working again LOL?! The 2 stars that I am giving this is more a reflection on the overall poor customer experience than a knock on the cooking. I am happy that a restaurant like this dots the Homer Glen landscape and I hope they have many successful years ahead of them but for me the service did not match the price point. I won't be going back.

This is a little slice of Paris in the Midwest! We found it on Yelp and drove to a strip mall in the Home Depot center....we didn't expect anything really special except we were hoping for some decent crepes. Mon dieu! Were we surprised when we crossed the threshold to this charmingly decorated authentic french bistro! We had delicious cappuccinos followed by savory crepes. I had the baked salmon w spinach and cream ...my daughter enjoyed the Nutella w bananas and strawberries. Wonderful. But to be honest...the ambience was the best part of the experience. The decor coupled w the musical selections were perfect. We had a relaxing and delightful experience! Good food...pleasant service...delicious French food...yes please!!

Love this place. Beautiful inside and the meal presentation was outstanding! I have recommended this restaurant to many people and all have fallen in love. Our first visit to this restaurant was during the winter on a cold night. I felt like someone took me to Paris for the evening. Great music and ambiance. The food is always fresh and great.
(5)Debbie M.
Good food. .. some was great, some blah. The lobster bisque was a big let down. No taste at all. The Beet salad was awesome. The cog a vin and beef bourguignon crepes were quite good but had to assemble ourselves! Weird. Crepe Suzette good but not flamed add it usually is. Crepe with ricotta was bet dry. All in all, food was 3.5, atmosphere a total 5 star, service was a 1. Awful. And for these prices, that is not right. Get rid of the attitude if you want to survive past the initial attraction
(3)Boris B.
Loved their food presentation, interiors and friendly service. Definetly a five star review. Will be back.
(5)Anj S.
My entire family and all my friends love this place. Such a treasure to have in Homer Glen and the food is always fresh, tasty and well seasoned. A little on the pricey side so we only come here on special occasions.

What a charming place in the southern suburbs. They have turned a place in a strip mall to a little piece of France. The interior feels like a bistro in Paris and it smelled great. The food was equally exciting. We started with wine from a very reasonably priced list, although the choices of French wines was limited. Escargot came in snail shells with a fabulous garlic butter. Mussels were a little old but the sauce was good. French kisses were a hit, prunes stuffed with foie gras. We had lamb shank, half duck, veal chops, sea bass, and duck confit. Everyone liked their entree. The best was desserts. A classic crepe Suzette, crepes with peaches, and one with bananas and caramel.

Went there this morning. What a beautiful place inside: from the decor to the table settings. They have accomplished a difficult task of making it casual to very elegant within the same space. What a wonderful experience. The food transports you to a bistro in Paris. My wife and I enjoy savory so we had coq au vin, and mushroom crepes. They were great with adding ingredients to our liking (gruyere cheese and chicken). The crepes light and the ingredients perfectly done! The homemade rasberry cheese cake was heavenly, so light and airy. The service attentive, friendly and do not overshadow the experience of the ambiance and the food. What a wonderful discovery for this area...you can escape the cookie cutter corporate restaurants of the Orland mall area for a wonderfully eclectic, romantic dining experience.

I'm typically not a fan of French food...but I left impressed. The portions were actually decent as well. We'll be back...

A surprisingly nice and unique place to eat this far from Chicago. I have not tried my meal yet but I am already impressed and enjoying the atmosphere. The choice of drinks are unique and the food options are too. A must try.

I was impressed with this place. Having been to several French restaurants throughout the U.S., I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food and ambience were. The crepes, desserts, & wine are DELICIOUS! Usually when I want to find a good French restaurant I have to go somewhere in the city, but this restaurant is truly first class. It does not look fancy from the outside, but as soon as you step in you are in a different world. Also love that you have an outdoor patio. Overall a pleasant experience.

This place is my recent favorite place for brunch. I do not mind to travel to the downtown of Chicago for good crepes, but I no longer have to. The crepes here were all excellent. I also love lobster bisque and French cheesecake. Highly recommended.
(5)Melaine K.
Amazing! Surpassed my expectations expectations. The food was amazing. The ambiance is to die for. I will be back!!!
(5)SmartShopper R.
Five star, all the way. Had lunch here this past week with dear daughter-in-law and we will be back. Hopefully to host her baby shower! Delicious food, albeit a little pricey...but well worth every penny. You HAVE to get a latte and French macaroon for dessert. These aren't the coconut cookies most Americans know. These are little cakes held together with a delightful creme. Absolutely delicious. This place is perfect to celebrate special date. Now I want to go to France!...and will visit this place often until then. ;-)

Today was our anniversary, 15 years on the 15th. Pretty special if I do say so myself so we needed a special place to celebrate. A friend had recommended this restaurant and in spite of the fact that it was in a strip mall in Homer Glen we trusted her. From the minute I saw the Eiffel Tower out front I knew I would adore this restaurant and I was right. At lunchtime it is a definite "Ladies who do Lunch" kind of place, in fact for most of the meal, Cliff was the only man. The restaurant is large and comfy. Tables are spread out so you can't hear other people's conversations. Plus, you feel like you could talk with your hands and not smack someone. I love my space! My only problem was that I wanted to order every single thing on the menu. As this is not a cheap place, that would have created some financial problems so I restrained myself. I talked my darling hubby into splitting a Coq au Vin crepe with me for an appetizer. It was breathtakingly delicious! It had a little salad with the best dressing I have ever tasted. If they sold that stuff I would be guzzling it right now. For my entree I had the lamb chops because I am a fool for lamb. These chops were superb and came with mint jelly which I know is not trendy but I adore it with lamb. I accompanied this with crisp and tasty iced tea. When I requested additional ice in came in a goblet with tongs. Wow! For dessert I had one macaroon which was good. I also had the fresh peaches and cream crepe and I had to restrain myself from licking the plate. It was the best peach food I have ever had. I accompanied dessert with coffee and sighs of pleasure. A very special luncheon for a very special day. Perfect!
