A guide to every crêpe on our menu (and how to choose)

A crêpe menu with more than twenty choices can be hard to read the first time. Le Cafe Du Parc is a European-style café and crêperie, and the crêpe list is the heart of our menu. This guide sorts every crêpe into groups, tells you what is on each one, and suggests where to start. Prices are the ones on our menu today.

We are at 12000 Spectrum, inside The Park at Irvine Spectrum, a few minutes from Irvine Spectrum Center. You can see everything on the crêpes menu too.

First, pick your chocolate

Many of our crêpes let you choose the chocolate. That choice changes the dish more than any other, so it helps to know the options.

• Belgian chocolate comes in milk, white and dark. Milk is the sweetest and most familiar. Dark is the least sweet. White is creamy and mild.
• Nutella is the hazelnut spread most people know.
• Lotus is Biscoff cookie butter, with a caramel-and-spice cookie flavor.

If you cannot decide, the Half and Half Crepe lets you choose two. More on that below.

Sweet classics

These are the crêpes to order if you want something simple and well-balanced.

• Nutella Classic Crepe, $12. A crêpe with Nutella, topped with powdered sugar. It is the lowest-priced of the chocolate crêpes and the plainest way to try one.
• Nutella Fruit Crepe, $15. The same Nutella crêpe, served with banana and strawberry and topped with powdered sugar. If you want some fruit to cut the richness, this is the one.
• Triple Chocolate Crepe, $13. Topped with our milk Belgian chocolate and drizzled with white and dark Belgian chocolate. All three kinds in one dish.
• Special Belgian Crepe, $16. A triple chocolate crêpe served with banana and strawberry. Think of it as the Triple Chocolate with fruit added.

If you are ordering a first crêpe and do not know what you like, the Nutella Classic or the Triple Chocolate is a safe choice.

Chocolate-bar and cookie crêpes

These carry candy or cookies on top, so they feel more like a dessert than a snack.

• Creamy Kinder Crepe, $14. A crêpe covered with Kinder hazelnut filling, drizzled with Belgian chocolate, and topped with four pieces of Kinder chocolate.
• Kinder Belgian Crepe, $15. A Belgian chocolate crêpe topped with four Kinder Bueno pieces. The Kinder here comes as candy pieces on a Belgian chocolate base, where the Creamy Kinder starts from a hazelnut filling.
• Lotus Crepe, $16. A crêpe with Lotus spread, drizzled with white chocolate and garnished with Lotus cookie crumbs. It comes with vanilla ice cream.
• Oreo Crepe, $16. A triple chocolate crêpe topped with Oreo crumbs, served with vanilla ice cream.
• Brownies Crepe, $16. A triple chocolate crêpe topped with brownie crumbs, served with vanilla ice cream.

The last three arrive with ice cream, so they are the ones to pick if you like a hot-and-cold contrast on the plate.

Fruit-forward crêpes

If chocolate alone feels like too much, start here.

• Berries Crepe, $15. Strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, topped with sweetened condensed milk and strawberry syrup. Unlike most of the list, it has no chocolate on it. The sweetness comes from condensed milk and syrup.
• Banana Roll Crepe, $15. A whole banana wrapped in a crêpe, topped with your choice of chocolate. It is simple, and you control the sweetness by choosing the chocolate.
• Chocofruit Crepe, $18. A crêpe with your choice of chocolate, topped with banana, kiwi, pineapple and mixed berries. It is the biggest fruit plate in this group and a good one to split.
• Coconut Chocolate Crepe, $16. Coconut-infused white chocolate, drizzled with Belgian chocolate, with fresh cut pineapple pieces and vanilla ice cream on top.

Shareable and novelty crêpes

These change the shape of the crêpe. They are fun to put in the middle of a table.

• Sushi Crepe, $16. Eight pieces, wrapped in a crêpe and topped with your choice of chocolate. You pick banana and strawberry, or banana and brownies. The name comes from the rolled-and-sliced shape. There is no fish involved.
• Fettuccine Crepe, $18. Two shredded crêpes, topped with your choice of chocolate and served with vanilla ice cream.
• Mini Rolls, $13. One crêpe cut into three pieces, topped with your choice of chocolate. It is a smaller, lower-commitment order.
• Half and Half Crepe, $14. A crêpe topped with any two choices of Belgian chocolate, Nutella or Lotus. This is the answer when two people at the table want different flavors.

Pistachio crêpes

• Pistachio Crepe, $15.
• Dubai Pistachio Crepe, $18.

The Dubai version uses our pistachio-and-kunafa chocolate. Kunafa is shredded phyllo, and it is the ingredient that defines the Dubai style. If you want to understand how that works across the whole menu, read our guide to Dubai chocolate in Irvine. The plain Pistachio Crepe costs $3 less.

The savory option

• Cheesy Crepe, $13. Mozzarella and cheddar. It is the one crêpe on the list that is not a dessert, so it works at breakfast or when someone at the table does not want sweets.

Pancakes and a plain crêpe

Not every dish in the crêpe section is a crêpe. These sit next to them on the menu.

• Plain Crepe ($6, listed on the Crepes page), $6. A crêpe by itself.
• Mini Pancakes, $13. Ten fluffy mini pancakes topped with your choice of chocolate.
• Buttermilk Pancakes, $8. Three stacks of pancakes served with butter and maple syrup.
• Dubai Mini Pancake cup, $16. Twenty mini pancakes, Dubai pistachio style.

Making a first visit easy

If you are new to the menu, here is a simple plan for two people: one Nutella Fruit Crepe for something familiar, and one Berries Crepe or Half and Half Crepe for something different. Add an espresso drink or a lemonade, and you have covered chocolate, fruit and a choice of flavors without ordering too much.

Pairing a crêpe with a drink

A sweet crêpe goes well with something less sweet. An Americano, a cappuccino or an espresso cuts through Nutella and Belgian chocolate. A fruit crêpe goes well with iced tea or a lemonade refresher. See the full coffee and tea menu for the list.

Ordering

You can dine in outdoors in the park-like seating at The Park at Irvine Spectrum, or order ahead on our online ordering page for pickup or delivery. Delivery has a fixed $6.99 fee. A crêpe is at its best soon after it is made, so if you can, eat in or pick up. We are open from 7 AM every day, until 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday.

Wheat, dairy, nuts and eggs are common in this kind of menu, so if you have an allergy, please tell our team before you order. Browse the complete list any time on the crêpes menu.
