A gustatory diversion
into imaginative renderings of crepes with a variety of fillings
“No strangers … only friends we haven’t met” proclaims the
sign on the wall above the painting of a gentlemanly bear holding hands with his
foxy lady friend. And that sets the
theme for the friendly service at Strangers at Forty7, an outlet started in
mid-2014 that has crepes as its central theme. It continues a trend in culinary
experimentation that has seen independent eateries offering burgers, pies and
latterly, waffles prepared in non-traditional ways. What these experiments seem
to share in common is youthful enthusiasm and the desire to produce something
original, and Strangers at Forty7 is no exception in these respects.
