Crêpe Affaire

Crêpe Affaire



The company opened its first store in Hammersmith in 2004 and now their latest one has just appeared in Soho. The place is so Soho! You could picture yourself in a film or a production studio or perhaps even in a New York bakery.


If you thought you knew everything about crêpes, think again, Crêpe Affaire have managed to re-invent them by making them a healthy fast food meal (less than 354 calories for a ham, cheese and tomato crêpe as opposed to 536 calories for a bagel with the same filling or 346 calories for a banana and chocolate crêpe against 501 for a chocolate bar) I know what I would choose. But what else is there to say about this revolutional concept. First of all, forget pan tossing, or any other kind of pancake making method…These are completely different. At Crêpe Affaire, crêpes are organic and they are made using a machine which is a show in itself and does not require any fat in the production process. They are then finished on a hot plate where toppings are added and they are absolutely delicious. The only drawback is that they are so nice that you may not be able to stop at one.

I personally liked the Brazilian (nothing to do with the bikini wax) and ‘I’ll Have What She’s Having’ an amazing crêpe filled with fresh strawberries, chocolate and cream and topped with a scoop  of ice-cream.
Crêpe Affaire, an affaire to remember.

P.S. Don’t forget to visit it on your birthday to get a free crêpe.
