It was hard to communicate with them since the menu was French-only and our waitress spoke limited English. After a while, we finally got our orders down and waited in the cozy little cafe tucked in one of the alleys of Paris. Although it was hard to communicate, it was definitely worth the trip and the trouble.
We ordered the following crepes: ham & cheese, mushroom, smoked salmon, cinnamon and nutella. Unfortunately, I cannot remember all the ingredients that went into each crepe. Each of them had a fancy name with more ingredients than what I mentioned.
Anyway, here's the breakdown.
Highlights:
1. Mushroom Crepe
The strong flavor from the mushroom complemented with melted cheese is pretty much as heavenly as it got. I was hungry for more but of course, I had to hold myself back and not devour my dad's crepe. I also learned of the difference between savory and sweet crepes at Le Cap Breton. It turns out the savory crepes are of a darker color (pretty apparent) and the crepe itself is a little more crisp.
2. Nutella Crepe
I'm pretty sure your mouth is already watering from the picture, that is, taking into account that you love chocolate like I do. The only downside of the crepe? A little too much nutella for me but hey, who am I to complain. The French guy who sat next to me devoured his whole crepe without leaving a single trace of nutella on his plate!
Disappointments:
Smoked Salmon Crepe
This one was a tad bit disappointing to me. I guess i was expecting smoked salmon rather than pan-fried salmon in my crepe. However, it was pretty tasteful with sour cream.
All in all, Le Cap Breton is more of a local cafe rather than a cafe filled with tourists scrambling to decipher the menu and trying to communicate with the waitresses. It's a place filled with localness that is definitely worth a visit. read more
