La Creperie - expensive galettes and crepes

I was walking down Urumuqi Rd to check out whether the new Village complex is open and also found La Creperie, which is at the end of Dong Ping Rd/TaoJiang Rd near YueYang Rd.  It's still in soft opening so they put up a sign to say they don't accept credit card and also don't give fapiao yet.  This is a lot more decent than some of the existing restaurants who always tell you they're out of fapiao.  There was a wine tasting instructor there teaching the staff on how to appreciate the Rosé wine. 

The interior was of Brittany style with wooden panels and flooring, with high chairs and tables.  I keep wondering what the small bowls on the tables are for, cuz they take them away when you're seated... the crepe menu is pretty extensive but the pricing is definitely not cheap.  The afternoon tea set is $45RMB for a crepe and a cup of coffee or tea (I was told that you get the coffee/tea for free and pay just the crepe's menu price but apparently there was some mix-up).  I order the stewed apple and caramel sweet crepe ($38RMB).  The crepe came promptly, with a big serving of the caramelized apple.  The taste is pretty good except maybe a slightly stronger alcohol taste.  I think the serving would look a lot prettier and more complete with some garnishes, like fresh fruits or whip cream.

  With the expensive rent around the HengShan Rd area, I can understand why the pricing is such.  So the thinking should be how to make your customers feel like money well spent by packing more into the dishes?  I was reading the crepe recipe books in the shop and realized that you can make crepes ahead of times and store in the frig for up to 3 days.  Hmm... I think I'll try that at home now that I got some good tips on making them...
