I am writing this review as a Frenchman, used to amazing, authentic French crepes in France. So I am going to be picky.First, the setting and decor. I like it, it is nice and casual, and surprisingly quiet. The atmosphere is very relaxing, you can almost forget you're right in the middle of CWB. On to the food. It is good, but not outstanding, the toulouse sausage galette for example, is a little bit bland and has too much onion, and some of the toppings on the other choices are a bit odd (

On to the food. It is good, but not outstanding, the toulouse sausage galette for example, is a little bit bland and has too much onion, and some of the toppings on the other choices are a bit odd (i.e. non-traditional). I feel that "la creperie" in Wan Chai has better galettes, but fleur de sel really shines for dessert crepes, and the service is definitely better here. Their namesake, the salted caramel, is delicious. If you have a small appetite, I recommend sharing a galette between two so you have space for dessert. You can't really say you've been to a creperie unless you have both a galette and a dessert crepe, and washed it all down with cider (this last part is essential, galettes and cider go together like salt and pepper, or fish and water). It is definitely on the pricy side, but this is to be expected; even in France, going to the creperie isn't exactly cheap.
