French Rendez-vous Restaurant is a creperie in Bayview, on Auckland's North Shore, with a Google rating of 4.5.
A creperie serves crêpes, thin French pancakes, in two main styles: sweet ones, often with lemon and sugar, fruit, chocolate or cream, and savoury galettes made with buckwheat flour and filled with cheese, ham, egg or vegetables. A good creperie cooks them to order on a hot griddle so the edges are lightly crisp and the middle is soft. Buckwheat galettes are traditionally gluten-free, but check how the kitchen handles flour, since cross-contamination is possible. Ask about vegetarian options and allergens, and consider sharing a savoury crêpe followed by a sweet one. Regulars pair a crêpe with a French-style coffee, cider or tea, and they book ahead for weekends when places are busier.
For people on the North Shore, French Rendez-vous Restaurant at Bayview is a place to try a crêpe, and it is worth checking opening days first.
