Description

Located in downtown Palo Alto, Bistro Maxine is the perfect location for French bistro feel and European atmosphere. Opened in June 2006, it is the only place to offer real authentic French crêpes. The decor is strongly influenced by a French café, the bistro type tables with their brass ring Moreand the rattan chairs were imported from France, so was the crêpe griddles and equipment. Most importantly, our batter mix comes from France, and if you are craving for the original "Galette au sarasin", we offer buckwheat batter as an option.In addition, we serve top of the line espresso drinks; you haven't had a latte until you try one of ours served in a traditional bowl. And if you are lucky enough, you might be able to strike a conversation "en Français", mais bien sur...

  • Rating: 2.0 out of 5"by Katherine L. at Yelp User Review1/22/2013Came here with a friend expecting a lot since the reviews were awesome. When we first walked up to the door, it amazed me how small this place was! There was barely any space between the tables. Anyway, we sat down and it was quite busy for such a small place. The chairs were in no way comfortable. … Read full review

  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Julia K. at Yelp User Review1/16/2013Sweet little bistro with delicious crepes and quite decent sandwiches. Used to go there every Saturday for nutella crepes (and would always ask for extra whipped cream:) Espresso is rather mediocre, but Spicy Mocha is good to try. The quality of service has unfortunately dived down dramatically … Read full review
