As the weather gets warmer, the urge to get outside and explore your surroundings can make you wander your neighbourhood until you come upon a little gem of a shop or magical bistro just around the corner that had gone unnoticed in the long, cold, bitter months. This is how I discovered Crêpes à GoGo – a beautiful, small and intimate French bistro serving the most deliciously authentic crêpes this side of the Atlantic.

The smell of warm, buttered bread and strong espresso welcomes you to la petite salle. Black and white photos of Paris adorn the bright orange walls, and French music and conversation filters into the air. Add outdoor bistro chairs, wooden benches and bottles of apple cider and you may as well be snacking in a parkside Parisian cafe.

Order the signature house crêpe in French; Big Ben is dripping with fresh confiture de framboises (raspberry jam) and mozzarella. My favourite, the Côte d’Azur, is stuffed with goat cheese, tomato, basil and olive oil. 

I think any meal must taste better when a chic French woman named Véronique presents it to you wrapped in a pretty basket with a casual “Voilà!”

Just when I thought my perfect déjeuner couldn’t get any better, a handsome young man walked through the door, unpacked a red accordion and began to play music from Amélie and Once.

Seriously belles filles, as if you need any other reason to go to Crêpes à GoGo.  Allez and enjoy!
