At the end of the 19th century in Paris, at the famous Comédie Française theater, a comedy was playing in which the popular actress, the public’s favorite, Suzette, played the main role. During the play, the heroine had to eat pancakes with appetite in one of the scenes.
Since the play was performed daily, and poor Suzette had to eat pancakes every evening, she got quite tired of them.
Among the admirers of the actress was the chef of the Marivaux restaurant, located next to the theater building. So, out of love and sympathy for his idol, the chef decided to “invent” special pancakes: small, light and delicious. Since then, Suzette received a plate of fresh, appetizing, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes on stage every day and ate them with great pleasure. The grateful actress, in a sign of her gratitude, allowed the chef to name his signature dish after her.
Make Crepes Suzette and feel like you’re in Paris…
