The Crepe House

Awesome food and great coffee.
It is a bit expensive for breakfast for our family of four but we try and go anytime we can. Breakfast crêpe is outstanding but my daughter says the perogies are the best!

Great food, I had the beachtown savoury crêpe and my girlfriend had the summer garden fruit crêpe. The prices are what you’d expect for a tourist-​trap town, $ 14 & $ 13.
They were rather disorganized, though. The server told us to just sit anywhere, and then we had to flag somebody down for menus. When the bill came, the coffees were not on it and they had charged us $ 14 for both crepes. We pointed this out and the server decided not to redo the bill. (The free coffees more than made up for the $ 1 overcharge on the crêpe. The server was also apologizing for delays to several tables around us.

After seeing The Crêpe House featured on, «You Gotta Eat Here» with John Catucci we were excited to visit this restaurant in beautiful Port Dover. Although, we disagree with John and would like to like to appropriately title our review, «You Gotta Avoid This Place.»
After reading the website, it is completely believable that this used to be a food truck. This restaurant cannot decide what it wants to be defined as. It looks fresh and colourful on the outside but was cramped and humid inside. We were expecting many customers since it was featured on tv and Port Dover was experiencing a flash rain, but there were only 3 patrons including ourselves. It was unbearably hot inside and all of their outside seating was soaked. Everyone that came in complained about having no air conditioning or fans, and a woman who
was bringing a party of 6 didn’t want to sit on wet chairs. The waitresses had
no ideas about what to do and stood there while their guest said, «well, no one’s going to enjoy this» which says a lot to me about how much customer satisfaction means to them. After seating ourselves inside, we were greeted by the unprofessional Manager who could be differentiated by the completely transparent, no class t-​shirt.
Of the meager 13 crepes offered, only one of them is under $ 10 and offers
nothing more than syrup and citrus zest. Their menu consists on a neon
coloured piece of poorly laminated paper, devoid of any pictures or anything
visually appealing. I honestly didn’t even want to look at it, I felt uninterested
and turned off immediately. After being in business for years, why haven’t they put some effort into the menu? Some clip art at least would’ve been better than nothing! The ugly menu further makes us wonder what this restaurant is going for; cheap menu, dirty tables, lack of any decorations and yet ask high class restaurant prices? We felt like we should’ve ordered and taken a number, sitting inside felt awkward and underwhelming. When you have the kitchen open for all customers to see at least wear hairnets and gloves, disgusting!
We both ordered the Turkey Dinner Crêpe after seeing it on the show, a water and a Coke. I cannot believe they get away with charging $ 2.50 for a bottle of pop that is literally 2/​3rds the size of a can! The lukewarm tap water they brought out was in a sticky, repurposed wine bottle. Our crepes were completely different in size and consistency; while the Hubby’s was swimming in the watery concoction they call gravy, mine must have soaked into the crêpe. The crêpe itself was chewy and all of the contents; consisting of turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce, were strewn about in a jumble. The cranberry sauce was around the perimeter of the crêpe and tasted awful, it was so bitter and overwhelmed the otherwise bland taste of everything else. Everything just tasted the same every bite, except the disgusting taste of cranberries that ruined the entire meal. The only redeeming quality was the turkey, which was fantastic and moist when taken out of the crêpe. I couldn’t even eat half of mine and I was never asked if I wanted to take it with me, my food was whisked away and never talked about whether or not I even liked it.
Upon receiving the bill, we tried to pay 3 times before being told that the debit
machine wasn’t working because the power had gone out. This had to have
happened well over an hour before hand with no attempt to fix it or tell the patrons
in the restaurant. The waitress said that the only option was to go to the bank
machine across the road. After going out of our way like this and paying a fee to
use the machine we handed her $ 60 for our $ 41 meal, she proceeded to ask if we
wanted our change back. Are you being serious?! You think you deserve over $ 18
as a tip?! When she opens the cash drawer for our change, low and behold, she has no money in the till! She has to go in the back, fish some money out of her purse and then as slowly and reluctantly as possible, she hands us our change.
We paid over $ 40 at The Crêpe House to leave hungry, that is the worst possible
outcome in our mind for a restaurant review. We did not enjoy our time here and
never want to return. We don’t understand what he was talking about in that episode of «You Gotta Eat Here.» We have honestly lost respect for John «Plaid Shirt» Catucci since eating here; he obviously has not eaten at some of the finer restaurants that are available in Port Dover because that is exactly where we went after this experience.
The Crêpe House, in our opinion is definitely missable.
