As the mother of a celiac child, I chose this creperie because it presents itself as gluten-free, which initially reassured me. I called to make sure there was no risk of cross-contamination and that my child could eat safely. I was told that the bilig (the cooking plate) was cleaned after each use, and that I had nothing to worry about. Reassured, I booked for Saturday. However, I called back five minutes later to clarify whether the buckwheat and wheat pancakes were made on different biligs. This time, I was told that they were cooked on the same bilig, simply cleaned with a pad of oil between each pancake... which is incompatible with a diet for a person with celiac disease or a wheat allergy. So I nixed the pancake idea and asked if they could serve a meat and fries, which seemed possible. Another problem: I then booked for Sunday. But when we arrived, the restaurant was closed. After checking, it turns out that it never opens on Sunday, which suggests that the person on the phone took my reservation without checking (option 1) or that I annoyed her with my questions and that she did it on purpose (option 2)… I am very disappointed, especially because of the lack of awareness about celiac disease and the contradictory responses that can put people's health at risk. This creperie may have 100% buckwheat crepes, but it is not suitable for celiacs due to cross-contamination. I therefore advise those affected to abstain, despite the recommendations on certain blogs. I haven't eaten there and I have no doubt that the cuisine could be good. However, for a creperie that claims to be “gluten-free”, the level of information and food safety remains insufficient.
