Crêpanini

In the heart of Sanlitun is Crêpanini, a quaint eatery reminiscent of cafes that line the streets of Paris. Providing simple and healthy treats, the cafe has an array of imaginative combinations of sweet and savory crepes, paninis and waffles. Light lunch options include the Atlantic Panini with tuna and mozzarella cheese (RMB 32) and the Mediterranean Panini (RMB 45). For dessert, dig in to a sweet crepe or a Tutti Frutti waffle (RMB 38) with mango, banana, strawberry and chocolate sauce to top it all off. Diners also have breakfast options until 11.30am. For only RMB 38, the set includes a French croissant or sweet crepe, fresh juice and a tea or espresso. While there is little room for kids to run around inside with the side-to-side booths, there is seating in the large outdoor sidewalk patio in the warmer months – the perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing morning or afternoon in the sun. Also worth noting: Crêpanini delivers via K. K. Rabbit and can organize childrens’ birthday parties. In addition to food and drinks, birthday packages include entertainment, such as a magician or clown and face painting.
