“We greatly appreciate nineteen years in Cherry Creek, but it was time to upgrade,” says Alexandra Pozdnyak, co-owner and general manager of Crêpes ‘n Crêpes. The traditional French restaurant recently moved to 1222 Madison Street in Congress Park and hosted its grand opening on March 18.

Pozdnyak is the stepdaughter of crêperie founder Alain Veratti, who started the business as an Elitch Gardens food cart. Shortly thereafter, Veratti, who hails from Montpellier in southern France, opened the Cherry Creek brick-and-mortar.

When it closed its doors in December, Pozdnyak, Veratti and their spouses, who are also co-owners, intended to stay in the neighborhood. But Pozdnyak explains that they encountered difficulties in finding a new location, largely because Cherry Creek is now catering more to corporate businesses.
