Kensington Creperie

James Kenny (22 April 2004)

Having formerly been a student at Imperial College in South Kensington I had the good fortune to meet Edward as he was opening this café. It is the continuation of a most successful crepe van he has run in Hampstead for a long time.

The crepes (and gallettes) are quite simply the best I have ever tasted and the variety of fillings is both wide ranging and well chosen. The salade nicoise is mouth watering as well, I was never a fan of that particular salad but after a sample from this place my taste buds have fallen in love.

Also, I note this site suggests the average cost per head as £17. I suppose this is possible if you order a bottle of wine as well. But there is an excellent and on-going deal whereby one can have two crepes (1 savoury and 1 sweet) with a drink for £10. This means I can have both my favourites: gallette complete followed by bannanas with dark belgian chocolate and rum...with an orangina all for a tenner! Wow...

Definitely a thumbs up for this place, I've certainly never come across crepes this good in my many years in France.
