Have you ever wanted to travel to France and try the renowned cuisine? Well look no further, just head on down to the Westside neighborhood for a little taste of Paris! The Westside is a fun but quiet part of town with tons of exciting and unique restaurants. One of said restaurants is Chez Elle. I stumbled across Chez Elle on a day off and was pleasantly surprised.
When you walk in you are greeted with the sweet smells of breakfast and a very large chalk board listing daily specials, coffees, and a long list of speciality crepes. The menu items have french titles but don't worry my non Parisian Friends, you can also order by number. The decore is casual but homey, much like what you would expect from a hipster coffee shop.

After perusing the list of crepes I landed on La Maison (english translation- the house/home) and a Cafe Mocha to drink. You order at the front and then seat yourself. Although there is plenty of indoor seating, we choose to sit outside. The patio is small but mimics those you would see at a quaint French bistro.
Coffee was served quickly. Very tasty and the froth was swirled in a design (seen below)
Crepes followed soon. The crepe itself was just the right amount of sweet, very well done and comparable to ones I have eating in France. It was oozing with swiss cheese, stuffed with cooked mushrooms, and overloaded with baby spinach. I will say I could have lived without the spinach, it was a bit dry and bland and took away from the other flavors. Overall, it was well done. My brunch date ordered Jambon. Again the crepe was filled with cheese and loaded with ham, it had a light pesto sauce mixed in which really gave it that extra kick.

I would go back and eat there again, although next time I may try something sweeter rather than savory. Perhaps something with a fruit filling or Nutella. You can never go wrong with chocolate!
I have attached a link to the Chez Elle website- I encourage you to check out the menu then go for a bite! Let us know what you think! http://www.chezellekc.com/
