The food is inconsistent- I have had good meals here but last time received overcooked food. The service was terrible. Staff were not interested in fixing issues with our meal. I don't know what happened to this once good bistro- but there are too many excellent restaurants in town to bother with this one. read more

Went in. Saturday night and had no reservation but we're seated immediately since it was just 2 of us. Very friendly wait staff. Ordered wine and cocktails and wine which came quickly. Had the special appetizer which was very good and had to try the French onion soup. It was good but they overdid it with the cheese. Hard to get to any onions. Each had a crepe and it was defiantly enough food. Both were very nice. Music was nice in background, not to loud we had to raise our voices. Great ambiance and food quality. read more

La Crepe Nanou - Beautiful venue, shrimp crepe, Escalope de Veau. - French Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

it had been a while since I've been here used to be one of my favorite places. The atmosphere is fantastic. The staff is nice efficient. But the food seems to have suffered over the years. In a party for two of us at the crab crepes. That comes with creamed spinach as well. There was a good bit of crab, but it was smothered in a heavy cream sauce and so was the spinach concoction. Neither person was wild about it. Another friend had the scallop special. Butter fried scallops over a risotto with a little spinach on the side again not a good review. It was $40 too for four scallops. It came with risotto which again looked like it was sitting in a pretty heavy sauce. I had the shrimp with fettuccine cream sauce. It actually was pretty good. I would give them a thumbs up, but certainly nothing special and certainly not a light dish. It had green beans on the side and they were good So unfortunately, I can't recommend this place. If I ever do go back it would be for the muscles. I almost got those that is their Specialty. I saw others eating it. It looked really good or at least just how it used to be. It had the french fries on the side. They look nice and the good and crispy. Which most disappointing is good French food, which is almost impossible to find in America is late. That's the one thing you would say about it. It is light almost everywhere you go in France or Belgium food is just seems to be cooked with less rather than more as far as the heavy sauce or butter or whatever so anyway and if review. read more

Went few years ago and loved. Just recently went had lamb chops and the veal pasta and a crepe dessert. None of it was worth talking about. I typically will make a tik tok about restaurants I love and I was but ended up deleting. Food was plain. Nothing memorable to return. read more

This is an amazing French Bistro that as its namesake indicates offers crêpes along with other traditional French bistro fare. They offer good seafood options along with a delicious selection of expected bistro options. You can also find some nice desserts along with good cheese selections. They have a selection of quality wine, liquor and beer. They have a daily specials board and recently they have been featuring a burger which is quite nicely done. The ambiance is quite simply magically fantastic at times while the service is usually on point they do have hiccups occasionally depending on the server. They used to be open a bit later than some other options but these days they close rather early. You used to be able to enjoy a nice Sunday Brunch here but they are not doing that these days. This is certainly a marvelous place to bring a date for an enjoyable evening. Fun Fact: I don't particularly care for crêpes and I've tried them in multiple places and flavors in France but I've never actually tried them at La Crêpe Nanou.

We love going to Crepe Nanou, but lately it has not lived up to its past excellence. A simple dinner - 1 drink each and 2 entrées. $100 plus tip. Glass of pouille Fuisse $18. Grey Goose martini $17. I know prices for everything went up after Covid, but this is a significant increase for the restaurant. We wanted their delicious french fries to enjoy with our drinks. They are no longer a French cut french fry and very ordinary. I hate to compare it, but very similar to a Wendy's fry. And very disappointing. The server who was fairly new, said she's already heard this from several of her customers. The crabmeat crêpes was served with about a third amount of cream spinach as it used to. Ok. Better for the waistline. And the sauce was so loaded with cornstarch or maybe something else, that the sauce was actually dry. We love the restaurant and hope they get it together. read more

So much better than my last visit several years ago. So much! It's back to its old self and I am happy for it. The dining room is one of the most comfortable I've ever had the joy of eating in, intimate. I look forward to working my way through the crepes all over again! Mussels, vinaigrette avocado, goat cheese salad, dessert crepes. I had the salmon with bernaise and it was as delicately perfect as I remembered. (The dash across Prytania to the Creole Creamery is just as life-affirming as I remember because if you make it alive, you are ready for some ice cream for sure even if you had that dessert crepe.) Sometimes you can go home again (restaurant-wise). read more

wow wow wow. Why have I never been here before?! I called snd left a message when I saw no reservations were available. After an art shopping spree, I announced to my friend that I had spent my dinner budget. Later that day, Alese called and offered me a table. Oh dang, ummmm, let me ring you back. I called my friend patticakes and shared that i would be going over my budget and dinner was back on. We started with cocktails, then fondue (ummmm this was sooooooo good), Patti had the Beef Bourguignon Crepe and I the Paneed Veal . The atmosphere was delightfully French, I was in heaven and the meal was probably one of the best I've had here in New Orleans. I'll be returning tout de suite! read more

It's been years since I'd been to La Crepe Nanou and tonight's meal was a gentle reminder that it's just 'ok'. The restaurant is nice in its decor- comfortable and inviting. The service was good, not intrusive or overbearing but there are better restaurants for the same genre of French food. Our onion soup was cold and no bread was brought to the table to accompany it. While we stuck to soup and salads, both the Salade Tropical and Salade Nicoise were a bit overpriced and underwhelming. For a good Nicoise head to Tartine- fresher and tastier. Another small restaurant with good service and the same kind of offerings (salmon, veal, escargot) is Cote Sud. No crepes but, it's more 'French', more authentic and the food is so much better! The owner is always there and aims to please- I'd rather be at Cote Sud on Maple than La Crepe Nanou. read more

We came for their mussels and French fries ( moule-frite). We were told they didn't have the mussels tonight. So we went with cheese fondue, quite good and French Onion soup, rather insipid broth. Shrimp and pasta, good As we paid the bill and were leaving, a bowl of mussels left the kitchen. So they had mussels, but we weren't offered this entree. Very disappointing!!!! Very attentive server but a breakdown from the kitchen. Why do they treat customers like this? read more

The food was great, especially the French fries, because they were perfect. Everything is nice, service is amazing , feels like home, and atmosphere was nice, and beautiful paintings. The only thing I had a problem with was the crepe, it was good but I was a little disappointed , because it was pretty basic for me , overall very nice though . read more

Good range of food options. We were able to be seated without a reservation. Love the neighborhood places.

The service, ambiance, and mussels were all excellent. The portions are quite large too.

Love the food but they are very resistant to letting people sit outside--so we often go somewhere else that has outdoor seating. Come on Crepe Nanou, loosen up! read more

Roaches on the floor. Made a reservation but wasn't seated until after 40 minutes from our reservation time.

The crepes are an actual joke. The actual crepe taste feels like you're chewing on flavorless tire. Not to mention the serving size that would be proper for a toddler. Very disappointed. read more

La Crepe Nanou - crepes done in two bites - French Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

La Crepe Nanou is a charming place with a lovey interior and atmosphere and delicious food. This visit my husband and I tried: the fondue, French onion soup, crawfish crepe, shrimp pasta, and king cake crepe. Everything was perfection with the exception of the crawfish crepe- the description said in a morning sauce but it was pretty dry there was not much sauce to be found. This gave the crepe an odd texture and not much flavor. The fondue was deliciously flavored and the asparagus and green beans were a great choice of dippers. The soup is amazing, a wonderful flavor. The pasta looks simple but has big flavor. And the dessert crepe was delicious as well. We will be back! read more

We have been going to La Crepe for years. Unfortunately, it has been steadily going downhill. The last four times we have eaten there we have received a combination of poor service and average meals. We keep making excuses for them. They keep getting worse. The last time we booked dinner for four people and arrived 15 minutes early. We checked in and were told our table would be a little late. We waited twenty minutes past our reservation time and Staff said to us that it would still be awhile. Hey, this is New Orleans, stuff happens and it was a beautiful night so we asked them to be honest with us and tell us how much longer we had to wait. We were told another twenty minutes. We said fine and we would take a stroll around the neighborhood. We did and when we returned (very nice stroll) we were told yet again we would have to wait. When I asked how long they rudely, very rudely said they had no control over how long people would take to finish their meal and leave. Very insulting. Having watched the slow decline of what was once a decent eatery, we said, enough! La Crepe Nanou is too expensive, has mediocre food, and service has disintegrated completely. Did I mention that their prices far outweigh the experience? Sad. Look elsewhere. read more

I love a great Parisian experience, and this place delivers. With an awning and lighting outside reminiscent of the art nouveau period, Café style seating outdoors and the lovely contrast of blue stained glass and orange cabinet lighting, the atmosphere alone transports you to your ideal French cafe romance. The menu is CLASSIC French with cheese, pate boards and mussels with fries, as well as a delectable French onion soup, crepes and daily specials. Intimate, cozy and adequately priced, this is the perfect spot for a date night, or a solitary glass of wine before catching a film at The Prytania. A GEM. read more

I was invited by a local friend for a group meal here and feared it was a "crepe only" kind of place (which it is not) and has a terrific meal here. It's been here for a while and has a terrific staff and has a very comfy vibe inside. I had the drum daily special and it was terrific along with the leak soup. Lots of daily specials worth considering and oh yes, the crepes for desert are terrific. Reservations encouraged. read more

This is a very unique and pretty restaurant. We had a group of six locals who had never tried this restaurant before. Our experience had a mix of results. The drinks we ordered were excellent Our entrees included a lamb chop that was excellent, but served with French fries... really? We tried the Paneed Veal. It was tough and a bit greasy... just OK. One of our group had the Grilled Salmon, it was good. Two of our group had the crawfish crepe that was also pretty good. Our desserts, Crepe Nanou and Crepe Antillaise (banana) were pretty good. Our wait staff was unpleasant and surly. That made the dinner experience much less positive than it should have been. Food 4/5, Ambiance 4/5, Service 3/5. Pricing is fair. read more

I have been coming to Crepe Nanou regularly since I moved to NOLA 20 years ago. How have I never done a Yelp review? I love everything about Nanou so much- the atmosphere where you can imagine you're dining in an adorable French bistro, with French music playing and local art decorating the walls; the solid menu, which has remained virtually unchanged; the French fries, which are easily in the top 5 in town; the mussels, with a rich broth unmatched by anywhere else; the fondue, which is especially delicious when it's chilly outside, and one of the very few restaurants to have fondue; the dessert crepes, which are perfection. The wine list has numerous reasonably priced bottles, and the service is always welcoming. Post-COVID, all precautions are being taken, and we felt very safe. The mussels and frites were as delicious as ever! The fondue has been scaled back a little, there is no option for fruit on the menu, but may be if you ask. I devoured it so fast I forgot to take a picture! We tried the special dessert of profiteroles, but the dessert crepes are really the way to go- particularly the namesake Crepe Nanou. If it's been awhile, pop back in to Crepe Nanou, for a most delicious and delightful experience! read more

Y'all.... Our server ladies were SO rude to us. We had a reservation for 10 people right at the opening at 5. They sat us at a table for 9 and we moved a chair over- yall... it was as if the world had ended- they passive aggressively yelled at us that that chair was for another reservation and we should've planned better (IM sorry? WE should have planned better? We had a literal reservation made weeks in advance) and then wouldn't give us another chair- they told us we had to squeeze into our booth more. They eventually allowed us to use the extra chair but ONLY until the other reservation came in an hour. Yall... WHAT? JUST GIVE US ANOTHER CHAIR?? And then they were so annoyed when we asked for refills or more salad dressing later on into dinner. The food was just okay, but the servers made the experience so bad we literally aren't ever going back. The only reason they get any stars is because my dad's soup was okay. We were uncomfortably squeezed together like sardines the entire time and afraid to ask for anything. That isn't normal- we were a pretty kind and considerate group that wasn't rowdy- and we spent a TON of money here. Do not recommend unless the staff gets an attitude check and they figure out how to season any food read more
