La Fille Aixcentric is in town right now and asked for lunch ideas at places spacious enough for a pram. In fact when I started thinking about it, I realised how tight most interiors are in the old town and even terraces can be crammed when the weather is so sunny. She now says she understands why so many young mums in Aix use slings. Anyway this is what she found:
“This pancake cafe was recommended to me by my sister-in-law who is local to the area. The creperie is situated in the Place des Augustins, which has a pretty fountain and a variety of bars and restaurants. Le Patacrepe has both savoury and sweet pancakes – the choice on the menu is overwhelming!
I visited this week with my husband and our baby. I was concerned there wouldn’t be enough room for the large pram but there was plenty. He ordered a Complete – a pancake with an egg, ham and cheese filling. He said it was really
good, with a runny yolk and lots of melting cheese inside.
good, with a runny yolk and lots of melting cheese inside. I decided to order something I’d never heard of before, which was the Texas pancake burger. A beef burger, cooked to my preference, smothered in American cheese and BBQ sauce, sandwiched between two little crepes – delicious! It arrived with a dressed salad and perfectly crisp and tasty chips. My husband ordered himself a side dish of chips which weren’t as crisp as mine – they reminded him of fish shop chips. So, the chips are pretty hit and miss!
There are lots of sweet crepes to finish with. We didn’t have room, even when we saw a fellow Patacrepe diner tucking into a great-looking chocolate concoction!
Our server was really sweet with us and managed to understand my mangled franglais. I’d recommend going to Le Patacrepe for a relatively cheap and quick lunch.
