Join us for a sit down with Viv Wine Bistro and La Crêperie owner, Julie De Cock. La Crêperie is one of our very long time favorite eateries on this island and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to learn more about how Julie landed here in Key West, her favorite way to spend a day on the island, her love and vast knowledge of wine and so much more.
If you've followed us for any period of time you know that La Crêperie holds a special place in our hearts. Before we lived here when we visited we always made it a tradition to stop at La Crêperie even on our short day trips. We'd wait all year to come back and enjoy their famous Red Velvet crepe (the #45). It's the kind of dish you dream about. Being gluten free we have always been so grateful to have such delicious gluten free crepes. The rest of their menu is divine and perfectly French. A truly chic affair.
Viv Wine Bistro is a cozy little spot right next door with wine hand selected by Julie herself from all over the globe. Pair with a charcuterie board with a variation of the yummiest cheeses on the island and enjoy the beautiful space.
The team who runs both spaces is wonderful. Don't forget that there's no rush. Plan to be encouraged to take your time, enjoy sipping your beverage, nibbling on your crepe or cheese board, listening to amazing musical selection (typically 80s, 90s, and early 2000s pop hits) and people watching.
We are so grateful to have such an amazing eatery filled with amazing food and people on the island. This is one of the spots that makes Key West the beautiful place to live that it is.
