Chez Lulu's vision stems from our desire to serve authentic yet affordable French fare in Sydney. The owner and operator of Chez Lulu, Ludovic Cognard (aka 'Lulu'), born and bred in Bretagne (or Brittany), a region in the northwest of France where crêpes originated, is committed to creating fine quality, authentic savoury and sweet crêpes based on traditional French recipes.
At Chez Lulu, you can experience your meal in an ambience that is chic yet unpretentious whilst enjoying French tunes. Our galettes (savoury crêpes) are tasty but will delight the health-conscious as they are made from organic buckwheat flour and come with a fresh salad. Our extensive range of sweet crêpes covered with your choice of delicious toppings (chocolate, strawberries, bananas, ice-cream — to name a few!) will satisfy any indulgent craving. Come visit us and our warm and friendly staff will prepare the crêpe of your choice right before your eyes.
Whether it is to meet a friend for coffee or dine with someone special, Chez Lulu will give you a memorable experience by bringing a little piece of Bretagne to you and your loved ones.
Crêpe is a type of very thin pancake cooked to melt in your mouth. From the Latin 'crispus', meaning crisp, the word crêpe is French for pancake. It originated from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France where Lulu was born, and has become over the centuries a French national dish. The savoury pancakes, served as a main course, are called galettes and are usually made of buckwheat flour while dessert crêpes are made with wheat flour. Until recently, crêpes were cooked on large cast-iron hot plates heated over a wood fire. In France, crêpes are a special serving on Mardi Gras (or Shrove Tuesday) to celebrate renewal, family life, hopes for good fortune and future happiness. It is customary to touch the handle of the frying pan and make a wish while the crêpe is turned. It is said that those holding a gold coin in their free hand will be showered with good fortune in the months to follow.
May our crêpes bring you good fortune and future happiness!
