There is always something so delightful about a french cafe! I have to say that a perfect weekend for me would include a visit to a cute, small but buzzing cafe somewhere around Perth! That’s one of the things I love about Perth – our fantastic weather permits frequent such cafe visits!
A colleague had raved about the crepes at La Galette De France – so one weekend ages ago A and I were somewhere around the Nedlands area, and decided to stop here for a quick lunch!
Some pictures of the interior and the French delights that await you…
Don’t you just love the french touches in the cafe?! Nice Efifle tower in the corner!
Rows and rows and trays of freshly baked pastries! It took me awhile to decide what to have!!!
Now, these pockets of buttery and almond “goodness” is what they are famous for! IE. Almond Croissants! Their first stall is at Subiaco markets – so perhaps you would have munched some of this whilst fruit and veg shopping! If you google around, these almond croissants come up as perhaps being Perth’s best! My Mum is the almond croissant connoisseur! These are pretty good, she says – but the swiss bakery in Subiaco is still her favourite!
So you ask where is the crepes!!! Haha! Here it is!!! To be honest, it was only average! A little disappointing! (I actually prefer my own chicken crepes that I make – one day I will share that – my photography for my crepes were terrible… Will have to make it again and post it!) The crepe was rather dry and hard, I expect it thin and moist! It felt very healthy tho – like wholemeal, a little too crunchy for my liking. A liked it tho! I think this was a ham and egg crepe or something like that… this is the problem with blogging about something that happened ages ago!
Now! My heart always skips a beat when I see such pretty colourful tarts!!! Call me weird, but honestly these little beauties are such a delight to look at – I always feel a bit sorry to have to eat it
*Sigh*
I can never leave a cafe without trying one of their tarts if they sell it… again, the Swiss bakery in Subiaco wins hands down. The custard for this was a little too yellow… but their shortcrust pastry from memory was lovely! Crispy, slightly sweet and tasted like very nice biscuit
Would I return? Yes I would
Their coffee was decent and they have a good range of fresh pastries! Try it next time you’re in the area! (By the way, this perhaps was the most staffed cafe I have ever been to – there were more staff than customers for such a small cafe! Haha!
