There’s a new face behind a Carytown crepe maker, one that wants to make a play for a niche segment of restaurant clientele: rehearsal dinners for weddings.
Ownership of the Les Crepes at 3325 W. Cary St. in Carytown recently passed to longtime employee Andrea Ramirez and the restaurant’s chef, Gonzalo Viloria.
With its fixed pricing, deposits and reservations, Ramirez said rehearsal dining provides a steady revenue stream worth leaning into, in addition to continuing to cater to its usual customers.
