True, there may be many French crêperie cafés dotting London, but the Kensington version deserves special mention. Those who have consigned crêpes to the last-minute-dessert zone will have something to think about here with choices that include fresh treats prepared using an assortment of ingredients directly imported from France. They are also flexible enough to accommodate those who'd like a late supper after a show at the nearby Royal Albert Hall.

The kitchen turns out some splendid savoury versions like tartiflette galette with bacon, cheese, potatoes, cream, onion and white wine on a buckwheat crêpe, or the sweet variety with banana, walnuts, butter and cream with Canadian maple syrup poured all over and splashed with cointreau. Some of the other culinary pleasures at Kensington Crêperie come by the way of salads like Parisienne with lettuce, ham, cheese, sweet corn, egg and cherry tomatoes with a special French dressing.

The wine list is exclusively French and for those who'd like something different there's a traditional French cider that blends well with the food.
