Formidable! il'ya un Fleur de Sel en Central

I love French Crepes and there was a good one called Le Kramphouse but it closed down.

Anyway I have previously tried their crepes at the Causeway Bay branch which was delicious and they are the only crepe place that I know so far that serves the duck crepe but I prefer dining in Central and this restaurant is on street level, however on a slope so you need to walk up there!

Tried two crepes, a savoury one and a sweet one.

San Pellegrino Sparkling Juice - Bloody orange: I really liked the taste of this and the orange colour matched their colour theme too.
It tasted like non alcoholic cocktail punches and it was not sour.

La Poire: This was caramelized pears with lavender, creme brulee ice cream and chocolate sauce.
You could visually see the lavender buds too.
I do not like lavender but with the pear it tasted surprisingly nice. I suspect the ice-cream was Haagan Daz's creme brulee ice-cream.

La Pissaladiere: This was caramelized onions, anchovies, black olives and fresh tomatoes (cherry tomatoes).
It was good because the crepe base was not burnt, it was crispy and slightly soft in the middle.
The cheese was grated really finely and parts where it melted made the crepe nice and savoury.
Overall I really liked the pizza ingredients on the crepe but without the tomato sauce.

I prefer the Central branch, although it is cosy, it is not as cramped as the Causeway Bay branch.
I liked the way they have matched the orange and black and white colour theme in the restaurant. ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

French crepes now at Ms Penguin

Since my last visit, there is now a French guy serving crepes!!!

Apart from crepes they had various French things on display.
I didnt need to speak to him in Chinese but apparently he can speak Chinese!
His English was quite good for a French guy, he did not have the French accent in his English and he looks Italian in my opinion.

Anyway I tried the Chestnut crepe, usually I do not try chestnut items for desserts because the Chinese ones are really sweet and starchy.

Sweet crepe with chestnut cream:
The crepe was made on the iron galette which was pre buttered to make it non stick.
The crepe was piping hot!
The chestnut filling was slightly sweeter than I imagined and it was also as starchy as the Chinese ones.
But the crepe was quite nice.
The texture of the crepe was quite soft and it was similar to the pancakes made for Pancakes day (British version).
