The Merry Table Creperie, on 43 Wharf Street, is an example of how wonderful Portland Maine is for foodies.  Authentic French crepes, french owners, and wine.

The first time I visited the Merry Table was a few months ago, almost a year after it opened.  Many of my friends have said it was fantastic, but somehow I always missed it.  I regret it now because it instantly became a place take it easy and enjoy something special.  It is a restaurant where not only do experience well made food, but the atmosphere helps you enjoy every bite of it.  Relaxed, friendly, warm, and delicious.

The Merry Table is a way to experience a French classic,  my only recommendation is go there with company, share appetizers, enjoy a savory crepe, and finish off by sharing a sweet one.  It's plenty of food. On that note, don't go to Merry table with a sweet tooth, the sweet crepes will be smaller and not quite a full meal.

I went back for a quick lunch today (the photo is from the previous stop).  In addition to well prepared crepes, we had two of their soups: creamy tomato and green pepper.   They both made me feel as if I was back living in Europe.    By now we've tased some of their savory and sweet creations and believe that it is all good - just go, it will be wonderful.
