Delice & Sarrasin used to be located on Christopher Street, but they have now relocated to Houston Street. In addition to sweet and savory crêpes, they also do a range of other casual, plant-based dishes.
One of the highlights this summer, which I had almost forgotten to mention, was the French creperie Délice &Sarassin. Delice & Sarrasin is run by Christophe Caron together with his mom Yvette, who is the head chef, and his dad Patrick.
You know how the French are, when it comes to cooking. No shortcuts, everything made from scratch. That shows in the taste, and I had one of the best crepes I’ve ever had in my life at that place. So I blame at least some of my gained weight on homemade salted caramel, vanilla ice crème and a grande, but exquisite crepe from Délice & Sarrasin.
It was my friend Mende, who introduced me to Délice & Sarrasin, so I will also blame her, and that tasty-looking galette (buckwheat crepe) of hers, which she couldn’t finish. Guess who ate the leftovers?
Délice & Sarrasin is a nice French crêperie run by former model Christophe Caron together with his dad Patrick and his mom Yvette, who are all from the South of France.
The crêpes menu is divided into a sweet (Crêpes) and a savory (Galettes) section, and the crêpes cost $10-15. If you’re just after a light lunch, then one crêpe is probably enough, but for dinner I think I would order two: One savory to start with and then one sweet for dessert.
• Crêpes are traditionally enjoyed with a glass of French cider
• The savory crêpes are made from buckwheat flour, so they’re gluten free and also high in fiber.
