May 23, 2013
EAT A CREPE
— Sweet or savory, crepes have gone from fine French
food to casual dining in Portland. Local eateries let you get cre-
ative with ingredient combinations such as ice cream, mangoes
and matcha sauce (the Tokoyo sundae at Mojo Crepes); goat
cheese, figs and prosciutto (at Suzette); and Grand Marnier and
orange marmalade flambé (at Le Happy). There are a number of
creperies around town and even a handful of food carts. Here’s
contact information for a few of them:

Mojo Crepes, 8409 S.E. Division St. 503-208-3195, mojocrepes.
