A Sweeter Start to the Weekend: Crêpes at Red Bottle

On a weekday, breakfast may be little more than coffee on the way out. Saturday and Sunday leave more room to linger. At Red Bottle, our weekend menu includes freshly made sweet crêpes filled with fruit, whipped cream, Nutella or chocolate — best enjoyed slowly, with good coffee.

Our sweet breakfast is available every weekend from 9 AM to 2 PM at our restaurant in Wheeling, just outside Chicago. Come by with family or friends, settle in and allow yourself the kind of breakfast you would never eat over the kitchen sink before work.

Four crêpes are currently on the menu, and choosing between them may take a minute. Each one takes a different direction with fruit, cream or chocolate.

  • Strawberry & Cream Crêpe — Sliced strawberries and whipped cream are combined inside a thin, freshly made crêpe. The berries add a little brightness, while the cream keeps the filling light and smooth.
  • Dubai Chocolate Crêpe — Made for a richer mood, the crêpe comes filled with Dubai chocolate, then finished with chocolate sauce, crushed pistachios and fresh strawberries, which cut through the sweetness nicely.
  • Fettuccine Crêpes with Fresh Fruit & Jam — Thin, tender crêpes are sliced into ribbons, with strawberries, banana, kiwi and blueberries scattered throughout. Whipped cream, fruit jam and a touch of fresh mint complete the plate.
  • Nutella & Banana Crêpe — A warm, tender crêpe filled with Nutella and fresh banana slices. It is simple, familiar and exactly as satisfying as it sounds.

We make the crêpes thin and tender, then add the fruit and toppings just before serving. Nothing needs to be dressed up with a complicated explanation. Good batter, ripe fruit and a filling you genuinely want to finish usually say enough.

Spend Your Weekend Morning at Red Bottle

Breakfast can shape the mood of an entire day, especially when nobody is rushing you away from the table. At Red Bottle, you can take your time, share a few plates or keep the Dubai Chocolate Crêpe entirely to yourself — we would understand.

Our regular menu also brings together dishes from several cuisines, so that you can return later for lunch, dinner or an evening with friends. For now, though, start with breakfast.
