The Story Behind Old Town Crepes

From Brooklyn farmers markets to Myrtle Beach, our scratch-made European bistro was built on heritage, artistry, and genuine hospitality.

Where Two Culinary Hearts Met

From a Brooklyn Market to the Golden Mile

Old Town Crepes began with a simple moment in a Brooklyn farmers market, where Ray and Anya reached for the same fragrant herbs and discovered a shared devotion to traditional European cooking. Their early days were rooted in small-batch baking, handcrafted breads, and delicate crepes prepared with patience and care. What set them apart was not speed, but intention. Every recipe reflected heritage-driven technique and a belief that food should nourish both body and spirit. When they brought their craft to Myrtle Beach, they carried that same commitment. Today, our kitchen continues to honor Slavic-inspired traditions, meticulous preparation, and the kind of warm hospitality that turns first-time guests into part of our community.

Crafted With Heritage And Precision

Everything From Scratch, Always

Our philosophy is unwavering: everything is made from scratch, and excellence requires patience. From our house rustic rye and sourdough to our signature sixteen-inch crepes, each element is prepared with thoughtful craftsmanship. Specialty dishes such as Khachapuri are made fresh to preserve authentic flavor and texture, reflecting the depth of Slavic culinary influence. Premium ingredients are selected with care, and presentation is approached as an art form rather than an afterthought. In a coastal market often defined by convenience, we choose deliberation. Guests who dine with us experience more than a meal. They experience refined European cuisine shaped by tradition, elevated by technique, and delivered with heartfelt hospitality.
