Our Story

A French crêperie in the heart of Arequipa

It all started over 20 years ago

It all started over 20 years ago with a simple question: how to unite the technical perfection of the French crêpe with the untamed richness of our land? We found the answer within the sillar stone walls of the iconic Alliance Française mansion, just steps from the Santa Catalina Monastery.

Inhabiting this colonial setting has allowed us to witness encounters, conversations, and moments that are now part of our essence. What began as a small specialty corner became a refuge where time stands still and every space holds the echo of years gone by, of shared laughter, and of moments that have transformed our house into a home that has watched generations grow.

Here, our cast iron griddles do more than cook batter; they seal stories and celebrate the heritage of Arequipa in every fold. We are a house of cooks who believe that in the simplicity of a well-made crêpe, and in the honesty of a culinary proposal executed with respect and mastery, lies the true magic.

Beauty in simplicity

We firmly believe that beauty lies in simplicity. Our purpose is to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, using the crêpe as a canvas where French tradition meets the noblest flavors of Peru.

With over 100 varieties, each recipe is an invitation to experience and be surprised by meticulous details that turn a simple dish into a high-quality experience.

Team Crepísimo

What makes us come alive is our team: a consolidated family that has grown around these stovetops for over 15 years. From Juan's mastery in the kitchen to Boris's precision at the bar, we have hands that know every secret of our batter and every aroma of our cocktails.

We don't just serve food; we share the pride of a team that stays united to ensure that, on every visit, you truly feel at home.

Unforgettable events

We understand that every celebration is unique. That's why we've designed a live buffet concept where the fire and skill of our cast iron griddles take center stage.

From intimate gatherings among friends to large corporate events for up to 100 people, we put all our experience and creativity at your service to create healthy, attractive, and most importantly, memorable moments.

Quality commitments

At Alpandina S.A.C., we need to partner with companies that have the same professional ethics as ours: a highly competitive product of excellent quality, loyalty in commercial relationships, and a constructive and balanced business vision.

This allows us to guarantee that every ingredient that reaches our kitchen meets the highest standards, from the special cañihua flours we use in our crêpes to the exotic fruits from the region that adorn our drinks and desserts.
