La Celtique is a small crepe place that is located kind of between Sinchon and Idae near the train station that is located near Yeonsei university. I have known about this place for ages and never taken the time to go there because the price seemed a little bit high, but as yesterday was Valentine's Day, I decided to treat myself to a crepe.
We ordered two crepes. One was an apple cinnamon crepe and the other was one that the owner recommended and appeared to be some sort of a seasonal special which was a strawberry crepe. Both of these crepes were quite similar in their layout. There was a crepe on the bottom, and in the center a scoop of ice cream surrounded by the fruit. The apples appeared to have been baked with the cinnamon and there were not too many of them. The strawberry crepe was quite a bit bigger and also came with chocolate and whipped cream. I found the strawberry crepe to be quite a bit better than the apple cinnamon one.
Probably the most impressive thing about this place is the atmosphere which feels very European. The tables are made of wood and the table clothes look like something you would bring to a picnic. There are all kinds of decorations and flags scattered throughout the place as well. Additionally, they serve a variety of European beers and wines. This seems like a very classy place to come and enjoy some European alcohol on a relaxing evening with friends.
I did like this place quite a bit, but I do not feel that I would return to this place personally. The main issue is that the price is a bit high for what you get. The crepe was delicious, but there are tons of restaurants in the area that serve similar style things that are larger, cheaper and similar quality. That being said, if you have a lot of money or it is a special day, this would be a great place to visit.
