Step into Swan Café… a café and crêperie transported straight from a Paris sidewalk with an air of bonhomie, a look of South Bank chic, waiters in Breton stripes and the pièce de résistance: amazing crêpes, as thin as a French mademoiselle, as full bodied as a mythological Leda with a flick of cream, a wink of cinnamon and an oh là là of chocolate.
For the guilty and gluten-free, there are sinfully good-for-you savoury buckwheat-based galettes. And to accentuate it all: exclusively blended teas with names like French Kiss, Paris Je T’aime, Teint de Pêche and A Minty Affair; steeped in the perfume of Paris, sipped with the promise of ‘encore’… you’ll be back for more.

The love child of nostalgia and a very French passion for healthy indulgence, this restaurant brings to the capital of cool, a delicious piece of Paris.
