Where to Lunch: When You’re Feeling Francais
One fun Friday, my parents came into Boston to meet me for
lunch. I was tight on time and they were trying to get to the museum, so we
needed something close by my office and relatively quick. We also needed something
akin to real food so I could prove that I’m an adult. Luckily, my mom was feeling
crepes.
The Paris Creperie has a home café in Coolidge Corner but
they also have a convenient food truck, called la Tour Eiffel, that on this
particular day was at the Rose Kennedy Greenway. You can check food truck
locations on their website or at boston.gov.

| Before, Savory |
Their menu offerings are savory or sweet—or, in my case,
both. I went first with a rosemary chicken crepe that featured sautéed mushrooms,
sundried tomatoes, and brie, of course. The crepe itself had dashes of rosemary
cooked in, so the first few bites were of nicely herbed and papery bread. Once I
got into the meat of the sandwich, that was where things melted into a warm and
hearty medley of satisfying goodness. C’est bon.
As I usually say, one good crepe deserves another. I
followed up my savory lunch with a sweet dessert crepe of Nutella with
strawberries. The menu calls it “unparalleled” and anyone who has ever tasted
Nutella doesn’t need a description. If you’ve never had Nutella, I’m really
truly sorry. One dollar adds fruit: bananas, strawberries, or blueberries.

| After, Sweet |
Suffice to say, lunch was so delicious my parents inquired about
catering for my sister’s bridal shower. Next time you need something satiating
and chic, check out La Tour Eiffel.
