Aviary Cafe & Creperie
The quaint and cozy atmosphere inside the Aviary Cafe & Creperie makes you feel right at home.
I didn't see the salmon mousse appetizer on the menu last time I ate there, but they had it the very first time I went, and it was really good. The dressed greens they serve it with were pretty tasty, too.
I ordered the "Is it Morning?" crepe, which was filled with scrambled eggs, crispy pancetta, carmelized leeks, and sharp cheddar. It was scrumptious; everything breakfast should be, wrapped up in a perfect crepe.
Mr. NOM ordered the Coq au Vin crepe, which was filled with pulled chicken deglazed with red wine, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, carmelized onion, and pancetta. Of course, I tried his crepe, too. It tasted like Sunday dinner, it was so good!
We both had the three cheese mashed potatoes and they were true to their name; every bite was cheesy, creamy, and just a little hint of garlic in there.
This is Mr. NOM's dessert. He ordered the "Aviary Suzette", and I'm going to tell you why. Talladega Nights. :P We had looked at the menu online before leaving the house, and I asked him which one of the dessert crepes did he think he would get, and he said he had to try the Aviary Suzette because of the scene about crepes in that movie.
While it was delicious, I liked mine better..
I ordered the "Peach Melba" crepe for dessert and it has brown sugar glazed peaches with mascarpone, raspberry jam, and vanilla bean creme fraiche. I would order it again and again, but I've made it a point to try a different one each time I visit, until I've tasted them all. It could take me some time, but I'll get there eventually :)
UPDATE:
I have since tried the pulled chicken crepe, it has chicken, gruyere, and mushrooms in it...can't remember the name of it and it's not on the online menu, but it was good! I have also tried the Black and Blue crepe, the Limoncello, the Aux Nutella, and the Peach Melba again. I also tried the Pommes Frites, and will definitely be ordering those again!
I think I have determined that you simply can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
If you haven't tried it out yet, what are you waiting for??
They are open Sunday – Wednesday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
and Thursday – Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. so go and get you some!
