We found this city centre creperie by accident, not design, in the hunt for a good savoury lunch…read more The menu looked perfect and all three of us agreed instantly to go in. It's been a heck of a long time since we were last in Chester. In fact, there was no such place as Starbucks or Costa and a Frappuccino wasn't even in the language it's that far back. Starbucks, a second wave coffee provider, was only venturing into Canada when we were last there. Creperies too were places you'd find only in Brittany and Normandy. The great British public would have eschewed, nay nay, pooh - poohed the very thought way back when. But all change; doncha just love it that the only constant is change? Having enjoyed many a good savoury and sweet crepe - doesn't everybody enjoy a good crepe? - in Brittany and Normandy with calvados and crisp, light, sweet cidré we knew done right it would be tasty. So I had the crisp bacon & maple syrup crepe (just over £5) and being moi (well we must nod to the French) I had only one question. Is it maple syrup or that artificial flavoured sugar rubbish pretending to be maple syrup. The reply was instant and welcome: the real Mc Coy. Great. I did have a moment of weakness mind as there was a goat cheese choice but I stuck with bacon. My companions chose an all day breakfast crepe and a Mexican chicken crepe respectively (just over £7 each). We all had cappuccinos (large at under £3 each) and Welsh sparkling water (£1.8), none of yer Perrier or Badoit here, just right too. The service was darn good. The food was tasty, light and perfect - ooh la la - as our French cousins might say. The coffee was alright and more third wave but I'd prefer a much more punchy coffee, but disappointment aside I'll leave it five star for the great service and tasty food. It might even take us back to Chester one day, but I did notice a divine looking (and smelling) Yorkshire pudding sandwich shop, so it might be there next time - now you certainly won't find one of those in Normandy or Brittany, vive la difference.

The Restaurant is licensed and they will cater for functions. It has a really relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The Pancakes are delicious, they have to be tried to be believed, the menu is huge, you can have any kind of combination on your pancake and you can watch them being cooked which is a really nice touch. They do daily specials as well so it's not just pancakes, the specials are great home cooked meals and some delicious puddings. It's set in the grounds of Conwy Water Gardens so you look out onto the lake while you're eating, its a really peaceful place, it's lovely.

Huge selection of ice-creams with all sorts of flavours, enormous waffles and milkshakes! If for some reason all this is not enough for you - you can create your own treat by choosing base (e.g. a crepe or waffle) and select fillings. Gourmet coffees include less common cinnamon and white mochas, smaller portion is £2.5 and bigger is £2.7 - comparable to the leading chains by price but no less tasty. Specialty tea ranges include Chilli Chai - one of the best I have tried so far. The atmosphere inside is quite unusual for a dessert place - dark walks and disco-balls. It's located very close to Piccadilly gardens, meaning it's easily accessible by all types of transport.

Located in the corner of the outside area of Altrincham market, these guys seriously know how to put a pancake/crepe or galette together. It took a little while to order at first, but that just gave more time to look over the sweet offerings - nutella, cinnamon, cream, sugar, lemon curd - they have whatever it takes to please your sweet tooth. Ever the one to make the most of a situation, I went for nutella, marshallow and cream. Served straight from the griddle, these things are hot, so grab a napkin as well as the cardboard cone it's served in. The cream quickly melted into the rest of the pancake, but the whole thing was a messy treat, so this didn't impact the experience whatsoever. Tackled both with my hands and a fork, it took a while to get the eating style right; seems the 'shove it in your face and hope no one is taking a photo' trick is the way to go! Chocolate, marshmallow-y, and creamy. What more could you want?

I had the jammy wagon wheel and the banana, which were both excellent, and not cheap tasting chocolate ice cream which I'm really not a fan of. Prices are okay, staff are nice enough, tea cups as lamps and a bit of theming going on. Loos are a bit tatty, and can get not perfectly clean at busy periods.

On a side note, I've noticed that honeycomb is a very popular ice cream flavor in the UK. Anyways, I decided to go with a single cone of ferrero rocher and it was a pretty wimpy scoop for 2 pounds. Not very impressed by that. The flavor that I got was okay, but I was just overall a bit disappointed, and because of that, I probably wouldn't return to this ice cream place if I ever came back to Llandudno.

Alarm bells should have been ringing when I saw the half attempt at an outdoor seating area, but I thought let's not judge a book by its cover. However inside is worse. The staff member who greeted me was smiley enough but she couldn't make a coffee to ace her life, the look of panic when I thought about ordering a crepe was enough to put me off. I stuck to a latte and sandwedge on her advice but it seemed she'd never made a coffee before. It does strike me as odd that anyone should open a business that coffee must be a large part of yet employ some one who though has obviously been stuck in the cafe trade for many years has managed to avoid learning anything about coffee. The ciabatta was undercooked and soggy the coffee was like warm and had almost no trace of coffee in it, and the price was far to high even if the coffee and sandwege had been good. Failing on every level, it really is a mystery why there wouldn't be an employee on the premesis who could make a decent cup of coffee or who knew one side of a bread knife from another. A sweets shop here is just what the area needs but this place is a complete dive.

The special lunch offer is 3 courses for £7.95, which seems amazing, but unfortunately the food always seems as though it's heated-up, mass-produced and bland. The presentation is good, but it doesn't cover up the quality of the food. Then again, you can't really expect a prime steak of £7.95! The service can be a bit absent-minded at times, but the staff are pleasant and friendly. It is a favourite place for Sunday lunch for my dad, as he always appreciates spending less than £10 for what he terms 'decent food', and loves the fact that you can get a French lesson either by reading the messages on the walls or spending long enough in the loo, where an education-style tape is played teaching you various sayings. A pleasant enough place for a cheap meal, but nothing outstanding about the food.

Anyone who has been to Paris will know that it can cost you an arm and a leg for a meal and couple of beers - although I'm not sure why there is still the idea that the French are still great cooks, they're massive for cheese on toast over there, you get laughed at over here for suggesting it's called Welsh Rarebit but Croque Monsieur is somehow much more acceptable! Anyway a 3 course lunch for £8 quid is a bargain and when you can get an early doors - sorry pre theatre - meal deal for £11 its good value and handy for the local Everyman and Philharmonic. They don't rest on their laurels either as the menu seems to change regularly.
