Le Ble Noir - Versailles

True, I have a weakness for crêpes. If I lived in Versailles, I would be a regular here. In the sea of mediocre overpriced bistros, le Blé Noir stands out as reasonably priced, good quality food, in a charming setting. Arrived at 8:30 or so on Sunday night without reservation, and were seated right away. NB: we spoke only French with the staff, so can't comment on their response to English-speakers.

Really lovely little restaurant which we were steered to by other Yelpers. And once again we have a winner (thanks Yelp). This is a small place which is very family friendly. A wide variety a delicious savory crepes were available. I had one of the leek varieties which had a delicious buttery leek sauce and was awesome. The spinach was similar. The kids had cheese/ham crepes which were also delicious. We had a lovely bottle of wine (Sauvignon) which our waiter recommended and which was perfect with the crepes and very well priced. After reading all of the grousing about surly French service (which is 100% inaccurate in my experience, service has been really lovely throughout our stay) why does no one mention how unbelievably inexpensive and delicious the wine is? If they drank more and wrote less perhaps it would work out better for everyone? On my next trip here I will try a bottle of the cider, which all of the locals seemed to be drinking. Perhaps I will learn something as I 've always found English cider to be too sweet for food. Maybe the French know something different? Lemon crepes for dessert were a revelation for the kids who had never had it before. Until now they thought the height of dessert crepe technology was Nutella. They are now converts to the wonder and deliciousness of the lemon crepe. Go here for lunch after a long morning of royalty and revolution at the castle, you won 't be disappointed.

Finally, a crêperie that is not based on its achievements and offers good and original cakes. I'll be right back.

Very pretty little crêperie where the kitchen is really excellent! impeccable service!

We had a very good time friendly around cakes and pancakes that were delicious!
