Canadian Crepe Company - For the sweet craving cognoscente!

Canadian Crepe is a small eatery serving delightful crepes and is tucked in a by lane off Greams Road. It brings to light a host of crepes from foreign lands but they have also tweaked it in a way to give a local twist by adding certain flavours keeping the Indian palette in mind.

The place is little but done up really neatly and has a lovely up market feel to it. You have a live kitchen, maple leaves stickers stuck on the spacings, a color confluence of wood, grey and white which gives itself a lovely fresh and pleasant feel. There is nothing over the top anywhere and you just find a little shelf of miniatures and a small box shelf depicting Canada. The open kitchen concept works well here and the whole place gives itself a laidback easy feel about it.

The menu is to the point with just 2 sides to it comprising of a few shakes and juices apart from their signature crepes which have western and Indianised versions both on the savoury and sweetened side. We were on an invite and got to savour a majority of the savoury ones of which most were top notch. The presentation was done up beautifully giving an assured signal and the taste more or less matched the looks. The one's which took the cake were the American based one which contained mushrooms, potatoes and a dash of cheese spread across magnanimously. The Thai flavored with the Tofu, roasted peanuts and coconut cream too was appetizing and the Avacado spread in the Mexican gave it a nice touch. In the Indian genre, it was the Dhak Dhak Dilli with a panneer bhurji slathered along which mild spices which got the Indian tongue excited whereas the Madras Crepe turned out to be a poor man's (rich man's) version of a masala dosa. Also got to try a squashed juice of a real Apple juice which was truly refreshing. The shakes however didn't cut too much ice barring a couple of them and it would be good if they work on it a wee bit. The concoctions just didn't seem to go hand in hand.

Overall, it was a good experience visiting The Canadian Crepe Company. From our brief engagement, we came to know that their's going to be more varieties added to the anvil. The stuff did take some time to reach the table but were made with a lot of care and the presentation and taste justified the same. The staff were very friendly and willing in taking feedback. The rates seem to be bang on competitive. Crepe's seem a great option for a breakfast or evening snack and 'The Canadiam Crepe Company' is now a one stop shop for the Crepe craving cognoscente.
