Crepes & Waffles: a delightful evening without needing much

★★★★★ 

Nowadays, it is a bit difficult to find a restaurant where the food will be fast, delicious/warm and with a complete and extensive menu. Sure thing they are restaurants that are exquisite, but they always have one focus on their food making them restaurants you go when you have something special or you really have the urge of eating there. During the past 38 years, Crepes and Waffles have captured the heart of every Colombian and foreigner because of their quality food, ample menu and the best of all, it is fast and absurdly cheap. Currently C&W has 29 locations in 5 countries and without a doubt it is truly a restaurant worthy of spending your time and money.

As every human in the world the first thing that they care about a restaurant is the food; it is by far the most crucial element a kitchen can have. As the old saying goes, when there’s a  full belly there’s a happy heart. Food is not only fuel to the body but, it’s also happiness to the heart and soul. To start with, Crepes has one of the most complete menus I’ve ever experienced; it is the type of restaurant that you can go a thousand times, order something different and still be a totally new mix of flavors and sensations. Also, their prices are incredibly cheap, the quality they present in each dish, the presentation they handle, the variety and freshness of their ingredients will never be compared to the value this plates handle. One of Crepes and Waffles specialties is their desserts; it is basically illegal to leave crepes without eating something sweet.  The most recommended or famous plate is the belgian traditional waffle with ice cream on top. The magic of this dish is that in just a few bites you obtain the best of this restaurant. From one side you obtain the crunchy and warm waffle and from the other you get the wonderful creamy ice cream. The contrast between the warm and the cold creates a balance in the recipe which makes it ideal to eat before leaving. Certainly, the variety on its menu is an advantage for Crepes & Waffles now that as expressed above as it will never be a restaurant you’ll get tired of, unlike other chain restaurants such as El Corral which contains no variety on its menu. People get tired of these kinds of restaurants because they always eat the same thing, in this case, burger. Even though it is still delicious, it becomes a restaurant that you attend only when you are desperately craving and dreaming about eating this burger, otherwise it will never taste the same and it will get boring.

Moving on to another aspect, C&W has something extremely special that I believe is the only one in Colombia who has done it from the beginning and will be doing it to the end of their existence. All of their workers are women and better yet, all of this women are head of a family. C&W have become an example in the world to the rest of restaurants. The two college men who created this establishment, decided to give the opportunity of a decent job to this women now that the majority of times they are discriminated and undervalued because of being a single mother. Nowadays women aren’t as disparaged as they once were, but still the inbalance between the two sexes is very notable, and by doing this Crepes climbs up to a very respectable position.  Eating here gives a chance to appreciate inconceivable food yet you likewise have the chance to assist families in require. The waitresses are greatly arranged, do they take your request as well as ensure all that you requested is precisely how it should be. In contrast with Mundo Verde, the servers and cooks are also women, however the nature of their waitresses is much lower, they are not inviting and their demeanor to the eatery is drastically more regrettable. C&W’s waitresses influence the client to feel at home and agreeable as they arrive.

In a nutshell, Crepes & Waffles’ experience is something you’ll never get tired of. It is a restaurant that not only has admirable principles and organization but also it is the place that in Colombia we call the three B’s “Bueno, Bonito y Barato.” You will always find excellent service and fantastic food with a diversity that today they you won’t find in every restaurant. It will be fast and will always come up with the perfect cook and presentation, and will always be affordable to every kind of person. To resume Crepes and Waffles is the perfect combo to experience a delightful evening without needing to go to a elegant restaurant.
