I loved the Fleur de Sel in CWB. Unfortunately I live quite far from CWB and getting there is a hassle. So imagine my joy when they opened one in SoHo! I have to say this one seems to be a bit better than the original, not sure why. It is also quite a bit emptier, again, not sure why. Delicious, reasonably priced, authentic French crepes in SoHo, it really should be quite full on a Saturday night. Either way, every time I've been here, I've had great friendly service, waiters who aren't to

Either way, every time I've been here, I've had great friendly service, waiters who aren't too busy or uptight to have a small chat and make recommendations or answer questions, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole dining experience, though admittedly the windows could be a bit more soundproof.
The last time I was there we tried a Truffle crepe and a French May special, the Bourguignonne, snails and lardons. Both were delicious (though I think leaving out the optional camembert from the Truffe would be a good idea as it is heavy and tasty enough as it is, and will save you $20 in the process). The Bourguignonne did not skimp on the escargots, and was very well cooked. The dessert crepes were amazing as always, the special French May choice was one with pannacotta and red fruits (I forget the name), unusually tied up into a bundle with some type of string candy. The fresh, tangy-ness of the fruit went perfectly with the sweet whipped cream and chocolate crepe. I hope to see this one staying on the menu after the French May is over.
And of course you must have some cidre with the crepes, it really enhances the flavour and counteracts the richness.
For a 2 person meal with 4 crepes and 2 cups of cider, we spent $530, extremely reasonable.
To sum up, Fleur de Sel Central makes for a great romantic dinner or even just with friends. The food is priced right and tastes great, the atmosphere is very nice, the service is friendly, and the location is convenient.
*the phone will usually be answered in French in my experience, but don't let that put you off since they speak perfectly good English too.
