Real thrilled when I found out by chance that Creperie des Art existed. I'm a fan of crepes and have lamented the closure of two other authentic Bretagne creperie in Duxton and Thomson.

Had the following:

1. Starter: Duck Rillette (basically duck pâté, though not the usual finely minced variety, this rillette is more coarsely textured) - Enjoyed everything about it - the bread, the rillette, the butter and pickles! But funnily enough we thought the duck tasted a tad like tuna.

2. Mains: Complete du pays galette - buckwheat crepe with parma ham, emmental cheese and egg. Simply love the egg on crepe dish!

3. Seafood galette - shrimp, squid and other seafood in a cream base sauce.

The mains were served with condiments of cracked black pepper and sea salt (perchance fleur de sel de guerande? Or maybe it's just sel de gris. Looked grey enough!)

4. Two-percent alcohol apple cider

Had an enjoyable meal and because we were real early, virtually the sole customers then, we had prompt, attentive service. Jonah, the French owner/manager (?) was real friendly and was helpful with the crepe recommendations. He even generously offered a second cup of cider on the house to my companion when he saw that we had only ordered one.

The ambience could be charming or kitschy depending on how you view it. The restaurant went for a nautical theme and has fish nets cast about, probably to reflect its Bretagne roots (coastal region). Missed the dark, simple elegance of the Duxton creperie, but I guess the interiors of Creperie des Arts has its quaint, traditional charms.

We were too stuffed to order the dessert crepes, but will definitely be back to try them next.
