Galettes at Chez Laurent

The fiance and I enjoy sweet crepes every once in awhile but we rarely have savory ones. And by rarely I mean like never. I almost always prefer sweet to savory but who knew galettes (a savory crepe) could be so delicious? I've actually visited and eaten at Chez Laurent before with my friend S but the fiance has never been so we went out for lunch there on Sunday.

Chez Laurent offers both galettes and crepes. Their galettes are both gluten and lactose free and there are a variety of savory fillings and toppings that you can choose from. On Sunday I enjoyed a Complete galette which was filled with an egg, some ham and some emmenthal cheese. The fiance ordered the galette with French ham which cam with some rocket, sun dried tomatoes and some onion confit.

Their sweet crepes are made with organic flour so I haven't been able to try those but we did ask, and you can definitely get a sweet filling in the galette! You know what I'm going to try next time don't you? Definitely getting a galette with a sweet filling! Chestnut cream? Classic Nutella and banana? Salted caramel maybe?

Chez Laurent is a charming little place in Frederiksberg. Go for just a cappuccino or have brunch there! Crepes are always a good idea. Always.

Tea at Tante T

On Friday I met up with my lovely friend S at Tante T in Vesterbro. I have bought tea from Tante T's shop at Torvehallerne but had never been to their tea salon before. It is a lovely little cafe. It is very quaint and a great place to chat and catch up with friends and not so serious or fancy as other places I've been to for high tea. It's more low key and I really liked that.

At the Tante T tea salon you can choose from over 150 varieties of tea, as well as coffee and tea lattes. They serve brunch, cakes, and offer a variety of baked goods as well. Take a look at their menu here. I chose to have a sweet matcha tea latte and a delicious piece of chocolate cake while S chose to have a white hot chocolate.

I had a great time at the Tante T tea salon with S that afternoon and I am definitely planning on visiting them again soon!

Cheesecake at Bertels Kager

We were planning on going for a walk tonight and well, a walk turned into going down the street to try a new cake place! I love living close to the center of our neighborhood because we live no more than 3 minutes away from many different cafes, restaurants, and ice cream shops. We noticed Bertels Kager on Falkoner Allé a few weeks ago. Their exterior stood out from other stores on the street, catching our attention, and although we've walked past it a few times and have looked in their window, we just hadn't found time to try it yet. Until tonight that is!

Bertels Kager specializes in gourmet New York style cheesecakes. Tonight they had five different types of cheesecakes including Oreo, peanut butter, chocolate, mixed berries, and strawberry. Besides cheesecakes, they serve breakfast in the morning and tapas in the evening. They have a variety of drinks available as well from coffee to wine to this amazing Fresh Ginger Ginger Ale. (I also had a pomegranate ginger ale from this brand on the weekend at Maude's - another great cafe in Frederiksberg).

Now, I know I write and post recipes for a lot of cakes, desserts, and sweets on here so one may naturally assume that I like cheesecake. But actually, I've never liked cheesecake. My mom and sisters love it, but I've always passed on it. It's just that I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese (or many cheeses at that), especially in large amounts. I've grown to like cream cheese frosting, but it is definitely not my go-to. However, the boyfriend and I did share a slice of Bertel's Oreo cheesecake tonight and I actually enjoyed it! The cake had a Oreo crust, a heavier cheesecake layer on the bottom with crushed cookies in it, and a lighter whipped layer on top. I'm a little bit afraid to try their other cheesecakes because they didn't have this whipped layer on them but if you love a good cheesecake, I would definitely recommend going there! If not for the cheesecake then for the cozy atmosphere!
