Oui! This crêpe lover’s paradise is a longtime fave in Houston. Now it’s here, Miami
Couldn’t jet off to France for winter break?
No need to answer that question. We are trying to hold down our own corner of the subtropics in Kendall, too.
But good to know you can fake it ‘til you make it. Your first stop should be Doral.
Stay with us, because we’re not joking.
Oui. You can enjoy a little slice of the City of Light at Sweet Paris opened just a few weeks ago.
A huge hit in Houston where it’s been open since 2012 by husband and wife team Ivan and Allison Chavez, this adorable spot has made its way to South Florida.
Google Translate: How do you say yay in French?
“After tasting many versions of ‘la crêpe’ around the world, from street carts to fine restaurants, we had to bring home the international staple,” says the website.
The aforementioned warm, razor thin pancakes packed with luscious things are must-orders.
Top sellers on the savory menu include healthy doses of other cultures: the Le California (turkey, mozzarella, bacon, basil-infused cherry tomatoes and avocado); the Nordic (smoked salmon, dill sour cream, capers, scallions and pickled red onions); and the Vegan (portobello mushrooms, black bean purée, corn salsa and chipotle sauce).
Celebrating a good, calorie-burning workout? You only need to know one word and that word is actually Italian — Nutella, a recurring and way welcome theme in most of the offerings.
Note: Don’t take your meal to go. The cheery atmosphere is beyond adorbs, with plush banquettes, pastel blue walls and windows everywhere.
“Sweet Paris aims to usher our guests away from their daily hustle and bustle and transport them to a unique and delectable dining experience,” gushes the website. “No passport needed.”
Insider tip: Don’t forget to Insta the pièce de résistance: the Eiffel Tower etched in your cafe au lait.
