    If I had a last meal to choose before I die, it would be the crêpe Benedict (B-7) and for dessert , the Banana crêpe with Sucre à la crème sauce (no whip cream).  

    The thing is, Catherine completely ruined for me any visit I would make to any other crêperie (Although, I still have to try crêpes in France, which I will in two months!). No other crêperie make it better than Catherine. Period. She had been open for more than 15 years and the quality over the years have been constant.

    The French onion soup is really amazing and the "Special Catherine" (egg, cheese, ham, then be like a real Quebecker and  add a bit of real maple sirup) is truly the best breakfast for a long day of ski at Tremblant.

    They won't take reservation, because it's such a small and cozy place. But you won't regret the wait.

    The personal is friendly and eager to please.

    Long live Crêperie Catherine!

    Sister Sarah and I had brunch today at Creperie Catherine.

    It was a busy spot ... there was a 20 minute wait to be seated.  We sat on the patio.

    I ordered the Pizza Crepe without onions. It was good.  I'd never had a crepe before.

    Sister Sarah ordered the Western crepe without the ham (she doesn't eat meat) and with mushrooms.  She said it was good.

    The host was friendly and efficient.  Our server wasn't all that warm and fuzzy and took a while to take our order.

    Wonderful little place making a huge variety of crepes for any occasion (breakfast, lunch, dinner or a sweet snack)!

    A little small but certainly adds to the atmosphere! There is a small heated tent in case you need to wait.

    Most of the staff can speak enough English to satisfy questions or special orders.

    The food is delicious!

    This charming, cozy, quaint cafe-restaurant should be on everyone's "must" list if you are visiting Mt Tremblant. Everything is crepe: rich and filling, light and healthy, desserts or breakfast - they have all options available. Pair it withGlühwein, and you've got a perfect lunch /dinner meal. If you happen to sit by the cooking station, you get a free show of the Crepe-making form of art.

    Once seated, the service is friendly, relatively quick, and the crepes are fab

    The down side is they don't take reservations: so either get there early (6-ish for dinner) or bring patience. The "waiting room" is a plastic tent with a small space heater. Hey, it was -29C when we had to wait for a table to accommodate 7 people: it was better than waiting outside in the real elements.

    What could be better after a morning on the slopes than some delicious crepes?!?!
    It's homey, there's lots of hooks for all your gear, service is friendly & fast and your food arrives pretty quickly so you can get right back out onto the mountain or back to shopping in the village.

    *escargot crepe: snails, swiss cheese and bechamel sauce.  I got the bechamel on the side and didn't even get to use it.  All the butter and garlic on the escargot was enough for me :)
    *custom pepperoni and crab crepe: yes, you read that right...fiance is adventurous and combined his two faves.  Was pretty tasty actually!!
    *"granny smith" apples, cinnamon, and sucre a la creme crepe: looked super sweet but actually wasn't.  Reminded us of apple pie and of course the whip cream was a great topping
    *"banana split crepe" banana, sucre a la creme, chocolate, ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate cookies, cherries: this thing was HUGE.  Super enormous for one person although our friend had no issues making a dent in this.

    Our group had a few other crepes which I didn't get to taste since I was too stuffed on my own...Great lunch :)

    Still churning out amazing crepes. It is now a must visit on my annual trips to Tremblant. This time I had the french onion soup and an escargot crepe but added crab meat as an additional topping. One word: Spectacular! The soup was soulful, fills you with warmth after a long day on the slopes. Rich flavourful broth and a layer of torched gooey cheese on top.

    The crepes aren't close to the best I've had, they were a bit on the tough side when I was there, but the cost/quality ratio is about as good as it gets in the Tremblant resort.

    Having said that the entire resort is overpriced, Creperie Catherine offer some of the best food at the most reasonable prices in the resort.

    Their dessert crepe feature homemade ice cream, homemade whipped cream, and homemade chocolate sauce made from melted farm chocolate.

    At Creperie Catherine, they don't cut corners. It has a warm, cottage like feel, and  the crepes are big enough to split.

    I had the BEST, yes the BEST Escargot Au Gratin!!...and I don't even like snails...HAH
    escargot drench in juicy butttery oil then baked and topped with cheese!! maybe gruyere??  but I doubt it...then squeeze the whole thing with lemon and finally when you're done...sop the whole thing up with garlic toasted bread...WOW!!! PERFECTION!!! went back the next Morning cuz I spent the whole night dreaming about it!!! MMMMMM =D (5 star)

    On a less than stellar note, the crepes were average, HUGE in size but nothing spectacular. I had a breakfast one as well as the mexican one.
    I should have went for the dessert one!! Next time!! I wish it wasn't a 12 hour drive from NYC!! (3 star)

    Neither one of us is generally that big a fan of crepes, but these babies were excellent!  Especially the Mexican crepe (ground chicken, cheeses, salsa, sour cream) that my hubby got.  Nice little outdoor patio to sit, though be warned that it is adjacent to a small playground, so you are likely  going to have screaming rugrats serenading you throughout your meal.  Still, this is a cute homey little place with terrific food that doesn't feel as pre-planned and corporate as some of Tremblant village does.

    Be sure to visit this place during your stay.  We enjoyed their onion soup, savory crepes, and dessert crepes twice during our stay.  Everything was excellent especially the goat cheese crepe with spinach and sundried tomato and the pear William crepe.  The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere is very cute and cozy.

    Probably I didn't order the right thing. I was not totally satisfied with their escargot crepe. But the atmosphere, the price and the menu looks really good. Will go again to try something else if I have a chance.

    Far and away, the best crepes I've had anywhere.  Cute little place, located in the gorgeous Mont Tremblant.  Everything about it was just perfect.  Huge crepes, stuffed with toppings.  I had the seafood and my wife had the Eggs Benedict crepe.  Wow.

    Excellent crepes, friendly servers, cute decor - couldn't ask for more.
    We were in Mont Tremblant at the beginning of June, so it wasn't crowded at all, but we went almost everyday while we were there because we enjoyed the experience so much.  

    We enjoyed the Florentine, the Mushroom and Cheese, the Ham and Cheese, the Benedict and for dessert we loved the Brown Sugar and Butter, the Mixed Berry, the Nutella and Banana and the Crepes with Homemade Jam.

    Portions are HUGE - for five of us, we would split 3 main crepes as entrees and then added 2 crepes for dessert.  Best place in Mont Tremblant.  You won't be disappointed!

    we went to creperie catherine for lunch... and liked it so much, we went back for breakfast the next day.
    the menu is pretty big and varied, so you can easily find anything for the mood you're in, whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just dessert!

    warning: this place is small and does get crowded so you can expect to wait 30-45 minutes!

    the crepes are good size and quite filling.  i'm not the biggest fan of butter and creamy sauces, so i shouldn't even be in a french region, but i wished i'd skipped the bechamel sauce.  it doesn't come on every dish, but be warned - they pour a lot of it!!

    this is a DEFINITE stop the next time i ever go back to tremblant!!

    This is the go-to place in the Mount Tremblant Village for good crepes.   We had a Mediterranean one and the Catherine special.  They are large and filling.  Save room for an extra crepe - the dessert kind.  Service was good and attentive.  We sat on the patio and had a good view of people strolling around.
