Vu Noodles to Move to The Flat Creperie Space
by Charlottesville29
Sad news came today that The Flat Creperie, a longtime fixture for real crepes on the downtown mall, had closed. The good news is that the new tenant will be Vu Noodles, the beloved Vietnamese vegan food restaurant that had been sharing space with Pearl Island Cafe at Jefferson School City Center.
“I’m thrilled and so lucky to have The Flat,” says owner Julie Vu Whitaker. “It has been a place I wanted for so long.” As for what to expect at the new location: “sky’s the limit!” says Whitaker. Pho every day, to start. And, down the road, crepes may in fact return to the former creperie, in the form of banh cuon, traditional Vietnamese rice crepes (below).
Whitaker is building her new kitchen now, and expects a Spring opening. Stay tuned for vegan food so satisfying, even carnivores swoon.
