Crepes have been popular for hundreds of years, and it’s easy to see why. The thin pancake-like creations are tasty, easy to make and can be filled with savory or sweet ingredients and taste delicious either way. That’s one of the many reasons we were thrilled when Sedona Crepes Bistro finally came to town. It’s high time Sedona had a spot devoted to this classic creation. Before its current location, Sedona Crepes started out in the former home of Relics but traded that historic spot for more modern digs across the street. The restaurant was bustling for a random weekday morning. To start off, we just had to try the classic Nutella crepe. The crepe was stuffed with sweet Nutella, strawberries and bananas and dusted with almonds. For a final flourish, the crepe was artfully drizzled with Nutella, whipped cream and dusted with powdered sugar. We loved the healthy ingredients that made this sweet crepe feel more filling. Each bite was savory, sweet and the perfect way to kick off a morning. On another visit, we quickly devoured the Dulce de Leche crepe – filled with cream cheese, cinnamon, sugar and completed with a drizzle of the crepe’s namesake. Each and every forkful of this crepe was sweet and balanced out by the savory cream cheese.
The savory crepes here are all tasty and served with your choice of soup or salad. The Veggie option – stuffed with mushrooms, red pepper, tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil and topped with lines of glaze balsamic – turned out to be a hearty and healthy option that was just right after a long hike. The Tinga is our other favorite savory variety. This spicy crepe features chicken cooked in hot chipotle sauce, caramelized onions and topped with sour cream and queso fresco. When we’re looking for an indulgent, savory crepe, this is our go-to.
The menu is rounded out by painini, tacos, breakfast options, create-your-own omelets, salads, three entrees and a long list of burgers. The Classic burger is easily one of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Just don’t leave without trying the truly excellent crepes. − A Sedona Foodie
