CAFE CREPE

When walking downtown, shopping from store to store, you can get hungry.  And what better way to settle your hunger then with a crepe?  Cafe crepe is a restaurant i love going to because of two things: they have amazing sweet&savory crepes AND the atmosphere in the restaurant is super cool.  When i'm in the cafe, eating happily, i look around and really do feel like i'm in France (or how i imagine being in France would be like....)!   With the sly dark color scheme, the dark granite counter tops, the slim frame black chairs and the french paintings on the walls, you really feel like your in a completely different environment.  I think the atmosphere gives off a calm, cool almost mischievous feeling, like you could picture some tall skinny french woman sitting in the restaurant with a barret&red scarf, smoking a cigarette, looking annoyed.  You get the feel.   I really do love this whole french style interior and i think their "Cafe Crepe" sign is fabulous.  I don't totally like the dark feel that the restaurant gives off (because of the dark wall colors and furniture), but it may not be tellement francais if it wasn't that way.  Special considerations when designing a restaurant may be something like thinking about the efficiency of the room design before the look?  Or thinking about room designs that will draw costumers into the environment ,rather than what the designer may have in mind?  This restaurant design is very different from your typical residential design because it makes you feel like your in a different country, like you've travelled.  You can find Cafe Crepe locations on Granville (3 on Grandville!), on Robson, and on Commercial, cherche-toi on crepe, oui oui?
