Beau Monde   

If you're hungering for a trip to the French region of Brittany but don't want to endure (or pay for) the eight-hour flight, consider paying a visit to this Bella Vista creperie. A huge fireplace, red velvet drapes, gold leaf-embossed walls and dim lighting make this one of the most romantic spots in the city, and the food only enhances the atmosphere. Sweet and savory crepes are made with a choice of fillings, everything from scrambled oeufs to beef Bourguignon. Several recommended combinations -- like coq au vin, Swiss cheese and herb butter -- aid diners who otherwise might be intimidated by the overwhelming number of choices. You can also start your meal with a range of non-crepe appetizers, including a cheese plate, soups, salads and the Beau Monde pizza. For dessert, try one of the sweet crepes filled with any combination of ice cream, Nutella, fruit, Grand Marnier and more. There's a full bar and an impressive selection of wine as well. When you're finished with your meal, continue your European jaunt by heading upstairs to L'Etage, a cabaret lounge owned by the same proprietors.
