Crepe
Crepes can be delicious desserts, appetizers or meals. A crepe is actually a thin folded French pancake that is the foundation for many amazing toppings, such as meat, whipped cream, ice cream, fruits, syrups and the revered Nutella spread. For those who have never tried a crepe, San Francisco is the ultimate city for their first experience because of the wide selection of popular crepe restaurants. Crepe experts should be prepared to add a new restaurant to their list of favorites.
