Heaven on Hawthorne

I have had both breakfast and dinner at Chez Machin, and both were lovely. There are not many restaurants that I would heartily recommend for both breakfast and dinner, but Chez Machin is one of them! Their Chicken Cordon Bleu was to die for. The Nutella Custard and Raspberry Jam Crepe was a life changing experience. What a treasure!

Best crepes ever

This is one of my favorite little places to go whenever - evenings, weekends - you name it. Authentic French cafe with wonderful food. I particularly love their patio at the back, which is fully enclosed and the roof opens during the warmer months. It's a small place, but that only adds to the charm.

Great crepes, made quickly with fresh ingredients and they'll even let you substitue one thing for another with no trouble. Don't be fooled - the crepes are big and one will definitely satisfy you. I enjoy #14-16, as well as the beef stroganof crepe, although I'm sure most all of them are good.

If you want to try a sweet crepe, I recommend the banana and nutella - it's the best, in my opinion! The sweet crepes with custard are homemade custard, so how can you go wrong with that?

There are also some lovely dinner items like the beef bourguignon and the most heavenly chocolate cake with warm, melted chocolate inside. This is no Hershey's chocolate either, my friends! This is the good stuff!

I love the people here and the service is great. I highly recommend it.
