"...saucy, sexy crepes"

Dining Out: Ask the Critic

By Teresa Capuzzo

Where's the best place to go if I'm just looking for dessert?

With it's gilt-paneled walls and sparkling hearth, Beau Monde, at 6th and Bainbridge, looks like a chocolate box. And wrapped up in all that golden opulence are some saucy, sexy crepes. The menu includes classic crepe combinations, but you can also mix and match ingredients until you go into sugar shock. While Beau Monde offers dinner, I prefer visiting postprandially--the savory crepes just can't compete with the likes of the banana/white chocolate/caramel vanilla ice cream concoction. There's a great little bar, too.
