My Quest

This blog is the tale of my quest for home-made, low-salt, traditional, rustic and innovative cuisine. Special attention is given to restaurants and food suppliers in special locations, such as locally owned farms, farmer's markets, walkable people places, water view properties and to properties of notable architectural merit. Restaurants and inns are considered in light of sustainability efforts as well, and noted with a green apple for special efforts to conserve and sustain.

Grenadine

Dobbs Ferry, New York
GrenadineCreperie.com

This delightful establishment offers sweet and savory crepes with carefully selected ingredients, healthful juices, and a variety of interesting beverages including Grenadine. Those of
us who grew up feeling very special when we were offered a Shirley Temple as children will appreciate the delicious red drink known as Grenadine, which is a specialty of Normandy. It was in this region that the two french proprietors grew up. Fortunately for us, they came to live here, met
at a local eatery, and have now opened this authentic french creperie.
Favorites of mine are the Roquette, which is a generous crepe wrapped around arugula, gorgonzola, sliced pears and honey, and the Blueberry Crepe with lemon curd. Creative new combinations are offered in the Crepe of the Week. On hot days such as these, the mint tea, lightly sweetened, is very refreshing. Bon Appetit!
