| - On a cold and humid spring morning my husband and I decided to try out the very new Suzette Bistro. We easily made a reservation on their website using PriorityTable and showed up an hour later, eager to relive our visit to the north-western coast of France.
The interior of the bistro is bright and airy, with lovely café style chairs set nice and close together to mimic the cafés in France. There are small decorative reminders of the coastal Brittany region scattered throughout the space.
If you are looking for an extensive menu, you may be disappointed but if you are looking for a great selection of galettes and crêpes...well you are definitely in the right place!
I think Suzette Bistro is the only place in Calgary where you can find traditional galettes, the crispy, chewy buckwheat savoury 'crêpes'. You can order them with a variety of fillings and yes, they are gluten free if you are into that sort of thing.
Other menu items include: Moules Frites, Steak Frites, the Suzette Hamburger, Fish of the day, and some pasta items including some delicious sounding mac n cheese au gratin.
Despite being only the second day open, service was very attentive, though our Chèvre starter order got lost somehow. We were offered a crêpe gratis, thus eliminating our final quandary of having to decide between a crêpe or one of their delicious sounding desserts. We then ordered the Normande because I'm a sucker for Calvados. It came with caramelized apple, flambée au Calvados & vanilla ice cream. Delicious! Then I became slightly jealous of the table next to us when I saw an île flottante float by...amazing! I can't wait to visit Suzette Bistro again.
Note: They have a really cute French cocktail list and I am dying to try it out...yet another reason to visit.
Note: They free pour some of that wonderful Brittany cider...it can get pretty expensive at 8$ per glass especially when they do not tell you the price and you absolutely adore it.
