Seven Swans Crêperie

Seven Swans Crêperie is a French-Russian crêperie at 1746 Washington St in the Westside neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri, housed in the 117-year-old Nottingham Hotel building. Founded in January 2020 by Kate Bryan — who spent twenty years envisioning the concept after studying in Russia — it serves savory and sweet crêpes inspired by French and Russian traditions, with a whimsical folk-tale aesthetic.¹

Description

Seven Swans Crêperie occupies a storefront in the historic Nottingham Hotel building at 1746 Washington St in Kansas City’s Westside neighborhood — a 117-year-old building that provides an atmospheric setting for the crêperie’s whimsical, folk-tale-inspired interior.¹

The concept centers on French and Russian crêpe traditions, serving both savory and sweet crêpes in the comfort-food idiom. Founder Kate Bryan spent twenty years conceptualizing and working toward the crêperie after studying in Russia, where she absorbed both the culinary tradition and the aesthetic sensibility that would define the restaurant.¹ The “seven swans” of the name evokes Russian folk-tale imagery — the whimsy carries through to the space and menu presentation.

Seven Swans was preceded by a food truck before the brick-and-mortar Westside location opened in January 2020.¹
