Located in downtown Palo Alto, Bistro Maxine is the perfect location for French bistro feel and European atmosphere. Opened in June 2006, it is the only place to offer real authentic French crêpes. The decor is strongly influenced by a French café, the bistro type tables with their brass ring and the rattan chairs were imported from France, so was the crêpe griddles and equipment. Most importantly, our batter mix comes from France, and if you are craving for the original "Galette au sarasin", we offer buckwheat batter as an option.
In addition, we serve top of the line espresso drinks; you haven't had a latte until you try one of ours served in a traditional bowl. And if you are lucky enough, you might be able to strike a conversation "en Français", mais bien sur...
