I'm working in Wanchai and i saw while walking back to the office that a new crepes place was going to open in Ship St, at the spot where was located Shake ‘em bums before, just two blocks away from la Creperie!! When I am craving for crepes, I usually go to La Creperie in Queen's rd east that serves very authentic savory and sweet crepes. Another restaurant, Fleur de Sel, has also recently opened in Causeway bay but I didn't have time to try yet.My husband is from Brittany and we really love cr
When I am craving for crepes, I usually go to La Creperie in Queen's rd east that serves very authentic savory and sweet crepes. Another restaurant, Fleur de Sel, has also recently opened in Causeway bay but I didn't have time to try yet.
My husband is from Brittany and we really love crepes. I was very curious to visit this new creperie to see if the quality of their crepes would be good enough to compete with La Creperie.
The answer is NO!!!! They have lots of work to do to improve their quality.
I tried their set lunch 78 HK$ with la Complete (ham, cheese, egg) and a sugar crepe for desert.
The chef is a tall French lady. The waitress told me she is from Brittany so I was pretty optimistic regarding the quality of the crepe she would make.
But when my complete arrived, I was so disappointed. It was very bad. The dough was made of buckwheat flour but it was tasteless. The color was very pale. It was thin but very dry, just like if you eat paper! And where was the salted butter that they usually spread on the crepe in Brittany?? The egg white was also not cooked. It was viscous, very disgusting! I didn't finish it.
The service is quite nice though. The waitress was attentive and smiling. I didn't dare to tell her it was not good and pretended I was full.
The sweet crepe was a little bit better, but once again, not as good as those at La Creperie and for sure not as good as those I have eaten in Brittany.
Sorry but I won't go back. I prefer to pay 10 HK$ for the same set lunch at la Creperie and make sure I will eat something good and authentic.
