Disclaimer: Thanks to our friends at Simply Crepes Raleigh for hosting SobeSavvy.com and inviting us to try their Rugby Crepe!
Since moving to Raleigh almost 4 years ago, I have managed to find a few of my favorite restaurants here. One of them is Simply Crepes. Located in the fashionable Lafayette Village, Simply Crepes is a family owned homage to everything crepes. Savory and Sweet rule the day here. I have always told all my friends and family about the place. I am glad to announce they will soon be known to millions more. Simply Crepes will have their own featured segment on the iconic Food Network show called “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” on April 8!
Entering it’s 10th season, this show highlights what and where celebrity chefs and hosts of Food Network Programs like to eat on their off time and on their own dime. Chef Fabio Viviani (whom I had the pleasure to meet/interview in Miami in 2015 and dine at his restaurant Siena Tavern Miami), is the breakout star of the reality show Top Chef who now owns various eateries and restaurants nationwide! He stopped by Simply Crepes in NY while on a business trip in the area and was impressed by the food to say the least. There was one crepe in particular that he fell in love with. It is called The Rugby Crepe.

Simply Crepes calls this their homage to the Big Mac. Shaved Angus Steak , crisp lettuce, cheddar cheese, pickles, sauteed onions on a sesame seed crepe! Chef Fabio Viviani approached the owners to be on the show. They agreed and as they say, the rest is history. I had a chance to try this crepe with the option of adding applewood bacon and agree with Chef. It is amazingly good! The best part was the Russian dressing. I could seriously put that on everything!

Simply Crepes also has some incredible sides to go with this now famous item. Their Brussell Sprouts are something to behold. Crispy, with balsamic and goat cheese crumble.
You may also want to try their loaded potatos as tasty side or one of their delicious soups. I recommend the Creamy Potatoe and Bacon Chowder.
No matter which starter or side you choose, save room for dessert. The Bananas & Creme Crepe is the perfect sweet ending to your meal.

I have never eaten at Simply Crepes, but it is definitely on my list now to try it. Their crepes always look delicious! Also, a huge congratulations to them on their upcoming Food Network segment. What an accomplishment! I better get in before they get super crowded. ๐
Good idea! I really like both their sweet and savory crepes.
Wow, their crepes look amazing! How cool that you got to try them and that they’ll be on Food Network. I can’t wait to watch!
I have never thought about picking a restaurant based off of the food network but maybe I should. All the food looks and sound delicious. I enjoy eating both savory and sweet crepes. Which country did crepes originate in?
Good question. I am guessing France. Maybe that will be answered when the show airs April 8th!
this looks amazing! i love crepes and im clearly not the only person who looks to the food network for where to eat
Food Network is my -ish !
OMGโฆI love a good savory crepe!! Iโm not too big on sweets but the savory portion with some good meat and cheeseโฆI am so there! Simply Crepes is now on my radar next time Iโm in NC! Thanks my fellow foodie friend.
Im not a fan of crepes but the other dishes piqued my interest. Thanks for sharing.
yes, all their “non crepe” dishes are fantastic also !
This food looks so good! I haven’t had crepes in years, but I definitely enjoy them.

When you’re allergic to eggs like myself, it makes it really hard for you to just dive into anything.
wow, yes..SO many things are made of either eggs or egg by products !
Everything looks so good, I have never had crepes before. I do enjoy seeking out eaters that have been featured on the Food Network. I always search their site and check out the options in the state I’m visiting.
Yes, next time you are in the triangle def check them out.
๐๐๐ Iโm no foodie and donโt often get excited about food but I do love crepes, savory usually since itโs a meal for me haha and these are deliciously exciting ^.^
This sounds like a cool place to eat, the food looks delicious.

Girl! Raleigh is calling me. ..Oh my Gosh! Confession: I’ve never had a crepe but looking at these pictures I am wondering why… they look delicious! Now I have one more place to add to my list for my Raleigh road trip.
I have never dined at simply crepes, but I do love crepes. The bananas and creme one looks really good and so do those brussell sprouts.
Everything looks so good! The Brussel sprouts look good too!
