Entre-Nous Creperie is owned by a French couple. The restaurant being cosy, can only accommodate about 10 tables ( few tables available outdoors facing Raffles Hotel)The Crepes here are made from Buckwheat Flour , which is healthier than the normal white flour/ wheat flour. Buckwheat flour has a slightly nutty texture , a ”sandy” flavour and is brown in colour.In French , these buckwheat crepes are known as ” Galettes ”They offer both Sweet and Savoury Galettes . Under the ” les gastronomiques”

They offer both Sweet and Savoury Galettes . Under the ” les gastronomiques” section, the popular choices are —- ”Stephane’s favourite” and ‘‘Geraldine’s favourite”.
Under the sweet crepes section , the Entre-Nous crepe with *salted butter caramel is highly recommended.
*Homemade
Salad of the day: Cabbage & Avocado Salad
Basically some shredded raw cabbage and chunks of avocado . The shredded cabbage has a nice crunch but personally I do not like avocados ( though it is beneficial for the heart).
Stephane’s Favourite : Chicken, caramelised onions , whole grain mustard dressing ($16.80+)
The advice is to enjoy the galettes which is still warm and crusty ( at the edges). The crepe taste slightly different from the usual crepes made from white flour , it is slightly stronger in flavour but has a nutty flavour. There were slices of chicken in the middle of the crepe (but non at the folded edeges!) but I find the chicken slices a little dry. The caramelised onions and whole grain mustard dressing has a sweet flavour which goes well with the crepe( I wished there were more!)
Sable ($8.10+)
The 3 mini french sables were yummy! It crumbles a little but it goes very well with the home-made sea salt caramel sauce . Eat it together with the scoop of vanilla ice-cream, it was divine!
P.S If you enjoy the sea-salt caramel , you can purchase it at $14 / jar.
Verdict: Though crepes are not meant to be filling, the crepes here are quite special . Worth a try if you would like to have a change of taste , from the normal crepes to buckwheat crepes
