    La Reine: buckwheat flour (is gluten free), sauteed mushrooms with garlic and herbs, ham, Swiss Cheese and sunny side egg
    Callie T.

    My Honey took me here for an early birthday lunch date in downtown Simpsonville. He has never been here and I did not even realize all of the savory galettes they had that were all gluten free since made from buckwheat flour. He has gluten and dairy allergies (amongst others) so it was great that he could have something different. He ordered Le fermiere which had prosciutto, Brie cheese, mushroom saute with garlic and herbs, broken egg and it's green salad. Since he cannot have dairy, they put the Brie on a separate dish and asked if he wanted to add another ingredient to provide more to it. He added spinach for an additional charge. I ordered La Reine which had saute mushrooms with garlic and herbs, ham, Swiss cheese and sunny side up egg. I thought it was tasty. Perhaps it was because not only did I have my Swiss cheese, I also ate the Brie. This was more dairy than I normally eat so my digestive system was definitely feeling it. Honey ordered the twist apple cider that originally came with ice but I was surprised he didn't order some type of hot drink since that's what he has at home, so he asked them whether he could have it warm, which they accommodated. He tried to convince me to have a milkshake since they had it on the menu and I like sweets but since I had worked out at the gym that morning, I wanted to continue drinking my water from my water bottle but they even brought out a cup of water for me. Though I was full, Honey insisted I order a crepe which I knew would have tasted much better immediately when it came out so I had a bite but took it to-go. There were many flavors but I did the Nutella and banana, and it came with the Chantilly cream which I had to Google to discover what it is. We sat inside in their main dining hall. It was after 1 pm. There was a pair inside as well but nearly done and taking photos. We were asked if we wanted indoor or outdoor. Honey thought the temp inside was warmer to sit. There's an outdoor patio in the back but there were quite a few people there with school age kids. Eating here is very similar to dining in France, don't expect fast service. The dishes are all made to order and fresh, so no pre-fab or frozen or batter sitting around. That also means, when one person's dish comes out, est it when it's still warm. Honey initially was trying to wait for mine to come out before eating and though I kept saying, please go ahead and eat, it wasn't until the owner came out and commented that it's much better when it's warm did he do so. (I've been here before since I used to work across the street and celebrated a baby shower here). There is a ramp for handicap at the back of the restaurant, a single clean bathroom, and cute decor. Honestly, the relaxed atmosphere, no rushing (definitely not), jazz music playing gently in the speakers is wonderful. The food is quite tasty, and greatly appreciate how accommodating they were for the menu. I do have to say, after we got home, Honey made something to eat as he needs a lot of protein because of the calories he burns up while I on the other hand ate those abundance of calories. May not seem a fair tradeoff for him but did enjoy his lunch though it could have been the company

    Just wanted to leave review for Authentique French Creperie ! I went with my family on Sunday and they were phenomenal! Amazing customer service, they were super special with our dog: brought her frozen bananas ... the owner treated us like family and brought the food fast . Flavor was amazing and fresh! Kids loved their crepe : Nutella with ice cream and hot chocolate with chocolate chips and mints. We sat outside and had a really good experience. They were super special and made us feel comfortable, always letting us know about timing of the food or if we needed anything else.A truly local gem in Simpsonville. I tried the duck prosciutto with mushrooms and Brie : the mix of flavors and sauce were a great combination. The lettuce gave the perfect balance as well as the sauce. Highly recommended for breakfast or brunch in downtown Simpsonville! #simpsonville

    Only have been here two times, each time being excellent! The ladies that run this little joint are so nice and attentive. The menu is pretty decent size for a smaller breakfast/lunch spot. The first time I went, I got the strawberry & Nutella crape and it was super yummy and filling. The second time around I got the mozzarella panini and a peppermint mocha iced coffee. The inside seating was totally filled up but we got the whole outside patio to ourselves! It wasn't too hot because it's covered and there was a nice breeze. I definitely recommend trying it just once if you're in Simpsonville for breakfast.

    Authentique French Creperie is located in Simpsonville, SC. It's been on my list of places to try for a while. I had the opportunity to try it with two of my family members. Authentique is only open Friday through Sunday. It is such a cute place. It's not very big, but would be ok for one to four people to dine. The inside is bright and cheerful with the table tops being an aqua/turquoise color. They have a nice selection of breakfast, brunch and lunch items. The lady's there are so nice, and I love their French accent. Today we came for a light dessert, I got the La Charlotte and my niece got the La Chocolat. The Charlotte is a crepe with sliced strawberries, powdered and crystal sugar and Chantilly cream. La Chocolat was a crepe with a chocolate drizzle, dusted in powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Let me tell you presentation is everything, and they do it well with those crepes. I really enjoyed my crepe, and plan on coming back to try lunch.

    Service was phenomenal, we brought along the dog and they were so sweet with her. We got the cute back patio all to ourselves. It was our first time and they were patient explaining and recommending things to us. Without even asking they brought out a water bowl and some frozen bananas for her to munch on. The crepes were SO good. Organic tea offered and was tasty- honey was a small up-charge but it was so yummy we didn't even mind. Will definitely be back!

    Yes! You should come here!!! *** So this restaurant appears genuinely FRENCH! Now open for 2 years, the one thing that you notice immediately is the wonderful aroma of fine food. You'll also recognize the care and attention to detail so obviously and lovingly given to the decor et l'atmosphere. WOW!!! The ladies here were amazing ... treating us like family and speaking with those alluring French accents. They are all French and our server was a delightfully kind and patient woman who has lived in the US for 20 years. Open for breakfast and lunch, their menu is divided between sweet and savory with a generous assortment on each side. I've im life's some photos. You'll also be pleasantly surprised with the affordability! Well, I cannot give them enough praise for their cuisine. Yes! YOU MUST TRY THIS RESTAURANT!!!

    This is my favorite place ever when I'm craving crepes. They take every other restaurant in the area that makes those flimsy, stuffed crepes and blows them completely out of the water. These crepes are legit and legit delicious. Some may look at the crepes and think they look like a sparse and unfilling portion but, once you finish one, you quickly change your tune. It's very difficult for me to not come here every weekend for brunch. The temptation is too strong! The staff are very friendly and will answer any questions you have about the menu and even though the dining area is small, it's so bright between the light color scheme and the many windows along the front of the building, it never feels cramped. Suffice it to say, I absolutely love this place.

My fiancé took me here for my birthday, and I felt celebrated every step of the way. Our server Laura brought us a complimentary small bite before the meal and after dessert. She also made dessert super special and was kind and attentive the whole meal! The food was all phenomenal, I couldn't believe it was all gluten free. It felt very fresh due to the farm to table nature of the restaraunt. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were a hit. My short rib with polenta and roast veggies was delectable and a very generous portion! Finally, we ordered 1 dessert but they brought us a trio. I was wowed by the cheesecake and olive oil cake!

I was in communication with Lindsay for over four months while exploring options for hosting my wedding dinner in their private dining space. Out of more than 10 venues and vendors we considered, she was the only one who consistently showed up with prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely kind communication. Every question I had--no matter how detailed or repetitive--was answered with patience and care. She made herself available through all my moments of uncertainty, which, as any out-of-state bride can attest, is invaluable. When we finally visited in person, Lindsay went above and beyond by accommodating us outside of regular scheduling. Her attentiveness and warmth never wavered. Planning a wedding from afar can feel overwhelming, but having someone like her in your corner brings a level of reassurance that cannot be overstated. Dinner itself was nothing short of exceptional. We were served by Tennille, who elevated the entire experience. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. Every dish was presented with intention, and she took the time to walk us through ingredients , local farm sourced education and preparation in a way that made the meal feel curated and special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience--it shows in every interaction. After dinner, we visited their second location to explore their private dining options. There, we met Pierre, who matched the same level of service and hospitality. He went out of his way to not only show us the space, but also recommend local after-dinner spots that could enhance the overall experience for our bridal party. That level of thoughtfulness and big-picture thinking is rare. Bottom line: this team understands that they're not just serving food--they're creating experiences. If you're looking for a venue that delivers on service, communication, and unforgettable dining, this is it.

I do have some constructive criticism though, while I understand that some items like the fruit pastries obviously taste the part, there are other items with no description as to what they contain. I understand that your staff is supposed to answer questions, but I could tell that after a whole day of explaining what's inside what, it can become tiring. Some labels of description would go a long way and give staff more time to focus on getting ordered items ready for customers. We came during a time when it wasn't busy at all, but I can't imagine what it would be like if there's a line out the door and every single customer may ask staff the same questions. Anyway, wonderful treats and would return! Thank you for being part of our community and looking forward to your second location opening. Happy yelping!
