“Actually I am forwarding some comments I received from a visitor to our city. This gentleman from San Diego has Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance) and had contacted me prior to coming here as I represent the Albuquerque Gluten Intolerance Support Group. I had not included La Crepe Michelle in a short list of ABQ restaurants for him, but he had such great experience at your restaurant that he shared it with me. Now, I can recommend it to our members and visitors who require gluten-free foods. Here is what he said: "I also wanted to share what may be a new find with you. The brother-in-law and family had been here for conference/ vacation a few years ago and found a crepe restaurant in Old Town which they really wanted to revisit. At worst, we figured a small place would be able to produce something suitable (gluten-free). As it turns out, Le Crepe Michele (400 San Felipe St NW # C2, 505 242 1251) was excellent. They offer crepes made from buckwheat, and the fellow who waited on us (a tall blonde man) said his girlfriend was gluten intolerant, and he knew all about it. He was wonderful, and took excellent care of us (and me). I'm not sure if he's the head waiter, chef, or owner, but he was all over it. For example, when the server delivered my dinner, he saw that the kitchen had put potatoes au gratin on my plate. I noticed him frown, and before I could raise the item with anyone, he swooped in, apologized, took the plate away, and said he'd bring me a clean plate - which appeared shortly. At dessert, he mentioned that he didn't put any whipped cream on my dish because there was a stabilizer listed that he wasn't sure of. Oh - one more thing - this was all after squeezing us - a party of six - in without a reservation. "What a wonderful tribute especially from an out of state visitor! I would definitely relay this to all our members.”
