The Creperie

French music drifts through the dimly lit space while hard cover books cover one wall, and empty wine bottles another. The Creperie’s manager, Mahoney Kassab, believes it’s one of the most romantic spots in town; and, the reservation list that fills up quickly on dates like Valentine’s Day show that the restaurants many customers agree.

“When I came to the restaurant about two years ago, I fell in love with it,” says Mahoney.

Mahoney has been managing the restaurant for several years now, and he has a strong background in the food industry, having owned a Mediterranean restaurant in Riverbend, a French café on Rice Howard Way, an Italian sandwich shop in west Edmonton and a seafood restaurant in Dubai.

His experience served him well when he started managing The Creperie, though he admits the restaurant has always held a pretty strong spot in Edmonton’s dining scene.
