La Crepe Revisited
I recently had the chance to stop into La Crepe to satisfy my sweet tooth. La Crepe is definitely one of my favorites in Boquete. I wished I had eaten here instead of stopping for Pizza earlier in the day.

Recently, I had the chance to try Papa Ricco’s pizza again. The first time I had the Italian sausage pizza and while it was good, it is different from the Italian sausage I liked in the US. I have always had the Italian sausage as chunks of sausage covering the pizza. Papa Ricco makes his [...]

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be in Boquete at lunchtime. I have had several people tell me that they really enjoyed La Crepe on the road toward Cafe Ruis. Yesterday was the day I got to try it.

Yesterday, I found myself once more in Boquete. It was around noon and time to eat, and as you know, if it is time to eat, I eat.
When I used to live in Boquete, I would sometimes eat in a small Mexican restaurant that was in an old house close to the park. I had [...]
