Cheap Eats 2010

Old eyeglasses adorn the walls and fake flowers crowd a collage above the bar at this small Northwest beacon of crêpe and drink. Le Happy is as sweet as its pommes chantilly crêpe ($7) with baked apples, roasted hazelnuts and whipped cream. The low-lit date-night spot also does savory: The buckwheat champignon crepe ($7) holds a rich and creamy crimini mushroom sauce with Gorgonzola; for six bucks more you get a tasty Painted Hills beef culotte on the plate. Added bonus: Le Happy's cocktails are great and service charming.
