Crêpe De Licious - Get yourself an overdosis of Nutella!

A few weeks ago, I visited Kirby in Vancouver and she gave me an awesome tour through the beautiful city. Kirby also took me to many of her favorite restaurants and she let me try typical Canadian things, such as Poutine, Maple Sirup and Tim Hortons. I am really thankful to her, for showing me around and letting me try all the awesome food :-)!

On one day I went to Richmond Center to do some shopping and after it I was really craving for something sweet. I had read Kirbys post about the new food court at Richmond center (the Dining Terrace), so I was really excited to see it by my self.  For me, food courts are an unusual thing, because in the Netherlands (where I live), we don't really have them.


When I arrived on the first floor by escalator, I didn't know where to look! There were so many food shops offering all kinds of dishes!  The food court looked very modern and bright, which I really liked. After a few minutes of staring and dealing with all the impressions, I went to Crêpe De Licious because I wanted something sweet.  The picture below shows an impression of the food stand.


When I looked at the menu (picture below) of Crêpe De Licious, I couldn't decide what to order! You could choose between sweet or savoury crêpes.. I noticed that some of the sweet crêpes contained Nutella, which I think is a bit weird thing to put in a crêpe. 

   
I decided to take the black and white crêpe, which contained sliced bananas and Nutella (I am a huge fan of bananas :-) ). You could decide whether you want to have ice cream or whipped cream next to it. When I saw the section containing all the delicious ice cream flavors, I decided to go for the ice cream. Yet again I had to make a tough decision, because there were so many flavors. I ended up with just strawberry, although I wish I had taken something more exotic.

The picture below shows the final product of all my decisions! It looks very delicious, but  the inside of the crêpe contained too much Nutella and it really dominated the taste. After a few bites, my plate was covered with Nutella and I really got bored of the taste. However, if you are really a fan of chocolate, then I would recommend this crêpe to you.  



This crêpe was quite expensive, I think. I took the most expensive one (the Black and White)  and I paid 8.95 CAD for it. The other sweet pancakes were between 6-8 CAD. Luckily, the exchange rate from the Canadian Dollar to the Euro is good, so I didn't feel bad ;-).

So if you are craving for a high-calorie snack, come to Crêpe De Licious! They advertise that their crêpes contains only 130 kcal and 3.5 grams of fat, but the filling and icecream causes this number to be much higher.
