Millie & Pepper Creperie is a cozy neighborhood restaurant right in downtown Traverse City. We serve sweet and savory crepes, some reminiscent of the streets of Paris and others reflective of our Michigan and Florida roots. Our savory buckwheat crepes are naturally gluten free and can be substituted for the four based sweet crepes upon request. A Bloody Mary, French 75, mimosa, or glass of wine complement our crepes nicely for a memorable and relaxing breakfast or lunch.. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we also offer a menu of delicious small bites that pair beautifully with our wines and cocktails. The classic charcuterie and cheese plate is a constant but the other items come and go based on the season and our culinary whims.

    We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with Artisan! The experience was exceptional; one of the best dining experiences I've had this year. Our waiter, Giovanni, was knowledgeable, and professional. The food far exceeded my expectations. The only aspect of the evening that was not perfect was due to the fact that our waiter was pulled to serve a large party during our meal, and we saw very little of him after that. No one asked if we wanted coffee with our dessert or refilled water glasses at our table. However, I understand that this was a holiday, and it was clear to see that the staff was working very hard, and probably somewhat exhausted. I will definitely visit Artisan again.

    Our pop up experience was great. We ordered two Lamb Tangines for our table of four and four small plates. Each one was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and our tab was surprisingly low. We hope Saffron De Twah returns soon!
