Over the time period that we have been going to The Merry Table I have tried several different crepe's stuffed with an assortment of fillings. Each has been wonderfully delicious. This time, however, I found one that I would be thrilled to have over and over. Salade de Crevettes, but basically the menu described a buckwheat crepe topped with fresh salad enhanced with shrimp. A masterpiece was presented to me. A beautifully thin, freshly made crepe was placed on a plate and then topped with greens, roasted red peppers, tomatos, red onion, carrot, artichoke hearts, asparagus and gorgeous sliced shrimp. Tossed with a mustard based vinaigrette- this was more a work of art than anything. At the owner's suggestion, I broke my long standing rule of not taking photos in restaurants and snapped a few-it was THAT gorgeous.

John fell in love with their crepes au sucre, or with sugar, the very first visit and so has faithfully ordered two of these each visit. Sweet, without being overly so, and satisfying, I always picture him heading to the Louvre after enjoying his breakfast.
For us, this is a must stop during our visits to Portland. I must urge you all to do the same- what a wonderful way to start a day in such a fantastic city.
