Creperie Ar-Men


I finally got to check out Creperie Ar-Men, a nice cosy homestyle eatery specializing in French food, more precisely, crepes Brittany style.

"Crepes have been the traditional meal in Brittany west coast region of France of Celtic culture for five centuries, being a wholly satisfying two or three-course meal that has now become a great culinary treat."

There are two levels, typical of shophouses in Singapore as the unit is usually long and narrow. Dark timber framed the windows and bannisters, with wooden furniture and soft dim lighting. Service was excellent too. The menu was in French with English translation underneath it, that took some getting used to.

I had the scallops crepe which was pretty good. Light and not too heavy on the cream. The buckwheat crepe was slightly denser than the usual fluffier crepe and had an interesting texture. M had the seafood crepe and we shared a crepe suzette. That was lovely to end the meal.
