A love of good food and excellent service are what inspired Dennis Williams to open Le Crepe, 317 Washington, in downtown Royal Oak. Ten years later, he’s still spreading the love, via his catering, crepe classes and events.

It’s definitely been a labor of love over the last decade. Like most every other business owner, Williams was hit hard by COVID. In fact, he lost both his dishwasher and one of his chefs to the scourge. Also during that time, his other chef was diagnosed with lupus.

Even after weathering those tragic losses, Williams continues on, creating and serving sweet and savory concoctions in an atmosphere that evokes feelings of being in Paris, without the hassle of air travel.

When asked if he has a “signature” dish, Williams points to “The Obvious”, from the savory poultry part of the menu. It’s made with pan-seared chicken, caramelized apples, spinach, feta, pecans and an apple balsamic glaze.

Le Crepe’s offerings are all made fresh to order – you will not see a heat lamp or microwave on site!

There are 50-plus varieties of sweet and savory crepe options to choose from. Pair it with a house baby green salad or soup du jour for the ultimate meal. Add The Kermito (a drink featuring pineapple juice, Sprite and cranberry juice) for a refreshing finish.

Le Crepe is also vegan and gluten-free friendly. It does not serve alcohol but Williams said you can bring your own wine or champagne for events – there is no cork charge.

To get the full Parisian experience – both in atmosphere and culinary offerings – you need to head to Le Crepe.

“It’s the least expensive trip to Paris you’ll ever take,” Williams said. “Leave your bags and bring your appetite.”
