As avid fans of crêpes for a long time, we accidentally came across this place a few years ago while researching restaurants in Bangkok. Philippe Bruttin, a Swiss-Bulgarian, introduced the crêperie to Bangkok in 1996. Sadly he passed away in 2000 and the restaurant is now run by his youngest brother Serge. It’s a bit off the beaten track, but once inside, you’ll feel like you just entered into their home. There’s a quaint small garden with a few tables for outdoor seating. At the waiting area, you’ll find plenty of magazines to read in case you need to wait for a table. Kids (and adults) can also share the owner’s love for Tintin comics as well as Asterix too. Ever since, it’s been on our must visit list every time we go to Bangkok.

This time, R tried the Crêpe Bourgignonne (with bacon, chicken, onion and tomato sauce). C on the other hand, not keen on crêpes as a main course, ordered the Eggs Benedictine and substituted the salmon for ham. Must have been really good as it was gone in an instant. The crêpes are very authentic – thin and slightly crispy at the edges. It was a tad dry at first, but once we got to the tomatoes and onions, it was perfect.

Then we ordered dessert – the main reason for coming. Crêpes Suzette was a must though it was a bit too sweet. Maybe should have asked for more liqueur. C ordered the Banane Chocolat – banana and chocolate sauce. It was huge and no wonder, they must have put three bananas inside or even more!

On the menu was a Banane Cognac – banana with honey and whipped cream flambéed with cognac…sounds very interesting. Well we’ll just have to come back again soon.
