The 2011/12 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

While there are four Crêpe à Croissant. sit-in cafés dotted around the city (50 St Enoch Square, Buchanan Galleries, 183 Hope Street and 396 Byres Road), the spiritual home of the company has to be the static van where it all began close to two decades ago. The menu includes smoothies, sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, croissants and baked potatoes, but it’s the crêpes, obviously - made fresh on specially imported pans and by trained staff - which top the bill. The company caters for vegetarians, Halal meat eaters, people with a severe sweet tooth, and anyone on a health kick. Savoury crêpes for carnivores include such alliterative delights as radical roast (roast beef, mustard and cheese), tantalizing tikka and perfect pesto (chicken pesto with emmental) or, for vegetarians, there is the fabulous feta (Greek salad) or try the ravishing ratatouille with choice of cheese. The sweet crêpes are a law unto themselves and include banana chocolate dream - smeared with nutella, nuts and cream, or the mega marshmallow (impossible to eat but worth all the trouble) and Cupid’s Cup, filled with After Eights, cream, crème de menthe and flaked almonds.

This enterprise has an unfortunate name - try saying it in a Kelvinside accent!
