Crêpes a la carte
Shop 3/76a Archer St
Chatswood, NSW 2067

I’m not sure if Crepes a la carte is new or if it’s been there for ages, but somehow we never noticed it.. despite being at Chatswood almost every weekend. I saw a 1-for-1 coupon in the Entertainment book so decided to check it out tonight. So glad we did! Sometimes, you just get a bit sick of all the Asian, more Asian.. and oh yes, yet even more Asian food that Chatswood offers.

This crepe restaurant is a lovely change – owned by a Frenchman (accent and all!), the crepes stand apart from it’s food-court version.. in so many ways. The crepes itself taste different, the fillings are different, and everything looks and tastes ‘polished’, if that makes sense. After eating these crepes, I never want to eat those skanky crepes they try and feed you at food courts..

Priced at AU$8-13 for a crepe, it’s really reasonable and only a few bucks more than the food court version. I opted for the Egg, Ham, shallots & Mushroom with Gruyère style cheese – it was a winner! It wasn’t too salty and had just the right amount of ingredients. The raw egg, cracked in the middle, was a cute touch 😛 Chris had the Beef Provencale – Mince beef with fresh herbs served
on baby spinach and tomato & Onion, mushroom, corn, capsicum, olives, Garlic, Parmesan & Gruyère style cheese (whew!). It came neatly wrapped and was basically a fancy bolognaise sauce in a crepe.. very good too 🙂

The staff are really warm and friendly, and the restaurant was small but every table was filled. I had a short conversation with the owner in French, which was kinda fun 😛 I just asked how he was in French, and he was telling me where he was originally from, etc.. hee! Fresh, delicious, authentic French crepes. We’ll definitely be back to try out the dessert crepes – the Nutella one was calling my name! *smacks lips*

The restaurant, they have a lovely al fresco dining area – very romantic!
