Hungry Hungry Hippos.


The BF always tells me I should open my own restaurant. I'm not sure if he's just sucking up to me or what but until then I'll just be frequenting Crepes-A-Go-Go in Dupont Circle. It has become my new favorite place. The crepes there are so good. It opened down at 2122 P St. NW on the 26th of April. The nutella and banana crepe [$4.75] was super tasty. They offer both sweet and savory crepes that are cooked with fresh ingredients right in front of you. My crepe came out warm and gooey, exactly how I would want dessert after a long day.
Definitely check this place out. They have TONS of different topping combinations or the ability to make your own. You can either eat there, take it to go, or they'll wrap it for you so you can eat while walking. Everyone was super friendly.
It's quite a hike from Columbia Heights but if I am ever down in that area its certainly worth going out of my way to stop in for some tasty treats.
my only word of caution is that the couple of times I went were all during the first week it opened. I hear its gone a lot busier since then. At least they are open super late.

I went here for an early Friday dinner with a friend. The atmosphere was really nice but the place was empty. The service is why it loses a star. Our waiter was okay but the place was empty so there really wasn't a reason to be ignored. At the end of the meal we were both looking at him waiting for our check and he just looked at us then turned his back and continued to talk to another employee there.
The only reason why I still gave it four stars though is because of the food. It was so good. The calamari was okay. It wasn't lightly fried but grilled[?] which made it a little rubbery but the flavor of it was delicious. We also had the quesadilla and the platinos rellano. Both were amazing and so good. The mojitos were top notch as well. The price came out to under $50 and our tummies were both perfectly filled.
I can see how it can get really expensive but if you're going for a light dinner or lunch I would recommend it. Just don't expect to go there and eat a ton and drink till your hammered with out dropping some big bucks.
Definitely a good date place and one of my new favorites.

4 out of 5.
