The Mexican style crepe was unbelievable. I'm still thinking about it till this day & it's been 4 months since I've been to Montreal. I would do some crazy things for the recipe.

Au top ! Bon & copieux dans une ambiance décontractée & un chouette service. Avec une dédicace spéciale pour les petits gâteaux portugais en dessert.
