Le Happy
Le Happy is a dimly lit, cozy creperie located in downtown Portland. Treat yourself to a light salad or a sweet or savory crepe at this French treasure. Keep it simple with a Parisian crepe made with ham and cheese, or indulge in a Belle-Helene: poached pears, semisweet chocolate, whipped cream and toasted almonds. Extend your dinner with a glass of wine or cider, and consider pulling a board game down from their game cabinet. Dress however you like for Le Happy.
