Chiffon

At Chiffon, the batter is neither crisp nor paper-thin: it is soft, airy and substantial. Diners have compared its texture to chiffon cake or sponge cake, and some say the batter alone made an impression. If you prefer the chewy or crisp style of crepe, this may not be your usual choice. But for a crepe with a different texture, it is one to consider.

Sweet options range from familiar combinations such as strawberry, chocolate, banana, custard and whipped cream to a banana tiramisu crepe and Mont Blanc with whipped cream. Diners who have tried the strawberry and banana crepes have commented on the not-too-sweet cream and the generous filling of fruit, custard and chocolate sauce. Some menu items let you add extra cream, so check the options when ordering if you would like it to take centre stage.

For something savoury, the lunch series includes tuna mayo. One diner who ordered it enjoyed the contrast between the batter’s gentle sweetness and black pepper. The Nakai shop offers seating for dining in, as well as takeaway and delivery.
