Breizoz French Crêperie is a homey joint along the streets of Fitzroy serving up hot fresh crêpes. There is the usual sweet dessert crêpes available, as well as a selection of savoury galettes (a type of crêpe made with buckwheat flour, which makes a crisper texture.) As we walked through the doors, the warmth of the restaurant was a welcome reprieve from the cold spring air. The unmistakable sizzle of the batter on the hot iron pan mingling with the smell of rich melting butter is a heady combination.
Hot mulled wine, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, are available in winter. Perhaps the alcohol helps to cut through the richness of their crêpes? I came with my family on a late Friday night after dinner, and was pleasantly surprised to see a number of tables available.
Because we were stuffed from dinner and were just after a light dessert, we ordered two crepes to share amongst the five of us. Salted Butter Caramel is a concept that's everywhere, but not all salted butter caramel are created equal, and most are invariably too sweet. The crêpes here though were perfectly balanced, with the right touch of sweetness and a ting of saltiness shining through.
The Banana and Chocolate Crêpe was generously stuffed with banana and drizzled with chocolate sauce, but again, the sweetness of the overall dish was perfectly balanced.
