Savory Crepes in St. Louis: A Guide to the Best Lunch You're Not Having Yet
St. Louis Has a Lunch Problem — And Savory Crepes Are the Solution
Lunch in most cities is an afterthought. A sandwich grabbed between meetings. A salad eaten at a desk. Something quick that you barely remember by 3pm.
We'd like to propose a different approach.
At Crepes & Treats — located at 4630 Lindell Blvd inside Hotel Indigo in St. Louis's Central West End — lunch means a freshly made savory crepe, crafted to order, with real ingredients that actually taste like something. It's fast enough for a weekday. Special enough for a weekend. And honestly, once you've had one, the sad desk sandwich loses its appeal entirely.
What's Inside a Great Savory Crepe?
The crepe itself is the foundation — thin, slightly crisp on the edges, soft and pliable in the center. What goes inside is where things get interesting.
Our savory crepe menu covers serious ground:
- B.B. Crêpe: Black Forest ham, Brie cheese, raspberry sauce, house salad. Sweet, salty, and surprisingly elegant.
- Turkey Melt Crêpe: Smoked turkey ham, bacon, Swiss cheese, Dijonnaise sauce. The kind of thing that makes you rethink what a turkey sandwich can be.
- Roast Beef Crepe: Roast beef, pepper jack, sautéed peppers and onions, chipotle sauce, house salad. Bold and satisfying.
- Smoked Salmon Crepe: 2 oz smoked salmon, goat cheese spread, red onion, everything seeds, fresh tomatoes, house salad. This one surprises people — it's become a quiet favorite.
- Savory Forest Blanc: Sautéed baby bella mushrooms with onions, Swiss cheese, tomato salsa, cheese sauce, and balsamic reduction. Vegetarian and genuinely one of our best.
- Mexican Sausage Crepe: Mexican sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, red onion escabeche, sour cream. Perfect if you want something with a little more heat and weight.
Who's Coming in for Lunch — And Why
Our lunch crowd is a mix that reflects the neighborhood. Hospital staff and medical residents from Barnes-Jewish and the WashU Medical Campus grabbing a real meal on a short break. Hotel guests from Hotel Indigo looking for something better than room service. Remote workers from nearby coffee shops who make us their Thursday ritual. Locals who've lived in the Central West End for years and still find something new to try.
The Central West End is a lunch destination in its own right — and we're proud to be a part of what makes it that way.
