Suzette, Je t'aime!

Can you say “Le YUM” in French? Suzette Creperie may not be the most obtrusive of the French restaurants that have suddenly mushroomed in the city, but it is certainly, by far, the most authentic one.

Tucked away in the heart of Nariman point, this little place is large enough to host 15-20 people at best, but the line of SoBo MILFs, hipster looking firangs, and local office goers that waits outside is enough to tell you that you’re in for something special.

As you enter, you are immediately transported to gay Paris, into a little rustic café with warm wooden tones;minimalistic, but tastefully furnished with a wrought iron bookshelf sporting an assorted collection of art, travel, and French culture books, and a few scattered posters and paintings. Simple sophistication.

But décor aside, I want to jump right to the interesting part and say that, being an avid Francophone and gastronome- Suzette has some of the freshest and most authentic French cuisine I have had the privilege to taste. Their selection of salads and savoury crepes is a little limited, but everything I’ve tasted so far has been nothing short of sublime.

My eternal favourite is the Chèvre crepe, filled with goat’s cheese, subtly flavoured with honey and walnuts. The crepe Méditerranée is a close runner up, a flavourful, though not overpowering. The salads are nothing spectacular; I would recommend that you save room for dessert.

Now, after making the laborious decision owing to the sheer delectable variety of their dessert menu (yup, it’s one of those that makes you drool at everything), we decided to stick with the basics and order a Nutella crepe. One bite in, I could hear choirs of angels singing. It was DIVINE.  If you manage not to die of a foodgasm, and are tempted enough to go for a round two – order the Caramel Praline crepe. It is equally good, and with a side of cold cream- it is bound to send you to gastronomic Shangri-La.

Replete and groaning from the sugary goodness, you can choose to try one of their authentic French teas, which will help you come back down to earth a little. Or, you can pack a “smoozie” for later– the banana honey one makes for a good breakfast treat if you don’t mind leftovers.

The total damages are very reasonable for the great meal you get here. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Suzette to anyone seeking a rendez-vous with authentic French cuisine. As for me, I envision a number of delightful little trysts to come with this charming place myself, and am already counting down the days.

Bon appetit.
