| - I was so excited for this place and so was my friend because she had been to Paris a few times. I had a gift card so I figured we'd give this a go at a time and date that wasn't so busy. The waitress was nice and attentive and the setting was adorable.
My friend ordered red wine (don't remember which) and I got French coffee. Her wine was delicious and my coffee had me drunk just from smelling it. It contained cognac, espresso, and cream on top. The cream was perfect though I couldn't even get halfway through my coffee because the cognac was way too strong for me at 12pm on a Monday.
I ordered La Champs de Mars, which is smoked salmon, creme fraiche, and dill on top of a buckwheat crepe. I wasn't having it with the buckwheat at all. I did not like it. It tasted very bland and kind of dry. This is a great option for people who like it or who need to go gluten-free, but it was definitely not for me. I didn't enjoy my meal because of this. The waitress mentioned savory crepes after we were done eating. They were on the dessert menu, but not anywhere on their website (or regular menu) as an option except as part of the brunch menu. I understand I could have asked about them before ordering, but I also wish the waitress had mentioned them as something to have other than buckwheat.
Even though I didn't like the buckwheat crepe, I still would like to come back and try a savory one instead since now I know how all of this works. I did try their chocolate mousse and it was really, really good. It was thicker and so chocolate-y, but not overpowering in the sweet department.
