About Bankok Thailand
On Sukhumvit Soi 12, in the heart of downtown Bangkok, Crepes & Co. is one of my favorite restaurants in Thailand. Soi 12 is one of the most beautiful sois (lanes) in Bangkok. It is very quiet, with other upscale restaurants and expensive apartment buildings lining it, so that’s also a nice walk to Crepes & Co., if you drop the taxi for you at the end of the road. Crepes & Co. has been open since 1996 and was the brainchild of two Swiss-Bulgarian brothers. When she opened the restaurant, there was nowhere in Bangkok, where you could get authentic French crepes. From a small opening menu, crepes, and finally she has amazing Spanish, Moroccan and Greek cuisine. The menu is huge today with more than 350 possibilities. The most popular dishes are still the crepes. They are huge, tasty and you can order them with a variety of savory or sweet fillings, so that there is something for every taste:. They also have a good vegetarian selection and a great children menu.When takes you to the restaurant is the first thing you see, it seems to be hiding a little back from the road. This is because in an old traditional Thai wooden house of one of the most delicious green garden I’ve seen in Bangkok, is surrounded. Outside, you can either eat at the tables in the garden among the plants and bushes, or at a table set on the terrace. Inside you have the choice of the lounge or the dining room. Both locations are beautifully decorated with dark wood floors, windows and tables, and lighter basket weave chairs. Low hanging basket weave lamps positioned over each table make it easy to read the menu. All this makes the atmosphere comfortable, while at the same time very elegant and chic.On my last visit, we were planning to stay for a while, so we started with the homemade sangria at the bar with red wine and delicious fruit, it is a perfect start , having a nice lazy lunch.My friend and I then share a Crispy Crepe and dip, which came with an eggplant dip. Very tasty. For my entrée, I ordered a lasagna crepe that have been cooked to perfection. The crepe was slightly crispy on the edges and soft on the inside with a perfect lasagna filling. Lasagna of any kind in Thailand is often not the same as a Western lasagna, so it was a pleasure to be able to not only an authentic lasagna, but to have to eat it, stuffed into a wonderful crepe. I ordered a Caesar salad. Very good, but the association was not quite the traditional Caesar salad dressing I was set up in the U.S. and Europe. Still nice though.My friend opted for the moussaka, the traditional Greek dish with eggplant and lamb. I had a forkful and it was beautiful. The court was perfectly seasoned and the lamb was moist and tasty. She was very happy with their choice, they need as they finished the match in record time! After the appetizers, we were both a bit full, so instead of a dessert per share, we decided to start a Vanilla Ice Cream with strawberries and whipped cream. Then it raced to a very nice cup of coffee and left, there are homemade tiramisu and look forward to the next time we venture to the city to serve as the food, one of the best things about the restaurant eat.Other I think that is the staff. They are friendly and polite and take very good care of you, without being intrusive. Our water glasses were constantly filled, dirty plates were removed quickly, and we left it after receiving a nice smile of farewell to the maitre d ‘who want us also return sooner.As far as logistics are concerned, many restaurants in Bangkok are frustrating to get because of the size of the city. Crepes & Co is extremely simple as it is centrally located and also near the sky train head. One of the ways is to take a taxi to take him down the soi on the door, or ask to be dropped off at the end of the soi and walk. As I said, it is a pleasant soi and in fact it is also a nice walk back to Sukhumvit, the main road when you’ve eaten. It puts the food was a little bit.You can also take the Sky Train (BTS) to Asok station, where you disembark, walk past the Hotel Sheraton Grande on the first soi to Soi is 12th Turn in the soi, and it is about 5 minutes walk from there.Crepes & Co. clock every day from 9 until midnight. It is a fabulous place for lunch or dinner, and actually well known in Bangkok as one of the best brunch places in the city. I’ve also heard their breakfast is wonderful, but I have not been able to check that out too. It’s definitely on my list of things to do though.Price-way per person, expect between $ 15 and $ 40 per person depending on the selection, the number of ordered food, wine or wine to spend, etc. It is is a little expensive for Bangkok but it is worth money.One recommendation, which would make me, make sure to call ahead and reserve a table. The restaurant is very popular, especially on weekends. On holidays, both Thai and Western, it would be wise to demand a table for a reservation a few days ago, as a booking up very quickly. Have to wait to eat it is also a place to relax and people tend to eat slowly, so if you opt for a table that you could have a long wait.All in all, a nice place for a good meal, with a beautiful and friendly staff. Highly recommended for a relaxed lunch and also for special occasions. For more information and see some beautiful photos of the restaurant and some of their dishes, check out the website at
