Sofi's Crepes

After our tour of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, we stopped at Sofi's Crepes for lunch. The small shop, which only boasts a few tables outdoors, is located just outside the walls of the Naval Academy.

We ordered the Reuben and the Godfather crepes, which are served street food style, and perfect to nosh on as you walk through town.

The Reuben was delicious; messy, but delicious. The meat was tender and moist and the sauerkraut and dressing a perfect complement. The Godfather tasted like a perfect French Stromboli. The mozzarella was melty and the meats heated together had a wonderful flavor.

Sofi's definitely feels like one of those great hidden gems in Annapolis.

Fabian Pannekakeri, Halden

We stopped into Fabian, a "Pannekakeri" in Halden for lunch. The waiter spoke English, however, the restaurant did not have English menus. Our waiter was very kind and translated a good portion of the menu for us and helped translate items that we were interested in for lunch.

We ordered the sweet crepes, which were served with grapes, kiwi, oranges and vanilla ice cream, which were delicate and light, but, in my opinion, would make a better dessert than a lunch.

We also ordered the vegetarian plate, which was two (crepe-like) pancakes served with arugula, parmesan cheese, plum tomatoes, and green onions. This was much more hearty, but not heavy, which was perfect for a sunny summer afternoon in Norway.

Fabian did offer a few tables outside for dining or enjoying coffee. We sat indoors, which was like dining in a friend's home for brunch - cozy and warm.
