TOUR DE CREPES, Alberta Street

So, what's with the trailer kitchens in this town? Not that they are bad, as evidenced by the good grub we put away on our weekend visit to Tour de Crepes (2921 NE Alberta), but we have never really known a place that had legitimate restaurants serving out of old camping trailers. There is an entire block of them downtown, and in every neighborhood there is a lot somewhere with a trailer serving up waffles or hot dogs or sloppy joes or, yes, traditional French fare, to a crowd of picnic tables. Tour de Crepes has the addition of a barn-like building built in front with seating, bright light and toys. The crepes were good, although a little pricy. The kids loved it. And yes, little Geo is still pretty bald.

It was a pleasure to come across your blog. We moved to Portland from Oakland last year (while I was 8 months pregnant with my second child--perhaps that sounds familiar). We're big fans of Tour de Crepes around here, especially dark chocolate with raspberries, and my theater group is going to start hosting shows and art salons there!
