Crepe Revolution sets out to create genuinely remarkable experiences for its patrons by creating an interactive dining experience. The restaurant is located at the West Village community in Smyrna, Georgia just minutes from Midtown on S. Atlanta Road and I-285.

Having recently purchased a condo at The Flats at West Village and thus being within walking distance to Crepe Revolution I have dined there on a few occasions. The staff puts on a great show and the food is terrific. Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with the two founders to learn a little more about this hip restaurant.

Co-owners Neel Sengupta and Chef Robert Morneweck stumbled upon the idea of crepes. It was 2005 and Neel and Rob both worked in executive management positions within the restaurant industry and were both exploring ownership opportunities. Rob was interested in starting a personal chef service and Neel was interested in a chef training business for events. It was then that Neel made a trip up to his native home of Toronto and while at an 11,000 square foot marketplace full of individual kiosks he stumbled upon crepes.

He recalls people waiting, five people deep, in front of this particular kiosk…not sure what was being sold, but caught up in the excitement he waited his turn to make it to the front. Having seen what looked delicious, When Neel was asked what to order he said he’d have whatever the guy before him had ordered. What he received was a giant Banana’s Foster crepe on a fourteen inch plate that he then brought back and shared with the rest of his family. Crepes were discovered.

Aware that Rob too had been pursuing interests in restaurant ownership Neel approached Rob with the concept of crepes. Why crepes? Why not. They have been tested and proven in every other major metropolitan marketplace. Along with their families, the two have visited more than a dozen cities around the U.S., Canada, and even Paris to learn as much as they could about crepes. This coupled with a lot of dedication is what has enabled Crepe Revolution to become Atlanta’s only crepe themed restaurant.

As the name hints, Neel and Rob are reintroducing crepes with a noticeable twist – which they call the REVOLUTION. Crepes provide versatility. For proof, try their 5 Step Crepe Experience. Choose from almost two dozen vegetables, a dozen meats and seafood ingredients, seven cheeses and more than twenty sauces, spices and seasonings to create bold crepe creations.

Neel and Rob are thrilled to be a part of the vibrant and flourishing Smyrna Vinings community and invite you to join them for lunch and dinner as well as brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. They are quick to point out that their restaurant and the concept is not at all positioned as French. In fact, due to the versatility of crepes, it is possible to visit for a variety of different tastes. Visit for American, Mexican, Asian, Regional American, Latin Inspired, Cajun, and even Italian…visit for whatever you’re in the mood for! That’s the versatility of crepes.

The decor is modern, urban contemporary with warm earth tones and world music. A full bar featuring select wines in combination with dimmed lights for the dinner crowd makes for an intimate dining experience great for a date. Crepe Revolution is also available for parties and special events.

My picks: Chipotle Pork Crepe, Smoked Salmon (with egg) Crepe, and Banana’s Foster.
