Freep visits Le Petit Zinc, Detroit’s newest French creperie in Corktown

Detroit now has a second creperie, and a full-fledged French cafe, in Le Petit Zinc.Excerpt:Le Petit Zinc, which loosely means “local bar,” seats just 25 in a
dining room splashed with color — yellow walls, turquoise shelves,
green trim and a vibrant flower-market mural painted by Karima.The
menu is light and casual: sweet and savory handmade crepes, fresh
salads, baguette sandwiches, snack plates, light breakfast items and
beverages including espresso drinks.The food is delightful. At
lunch one day last week, I loved the big, robust cappuccinos, served in
chartreuse café au lait bowls. My crepe — filled with goat cheese,
fresh baby spinach and pine nuts — came with a lightly dressed green
salad. A side order of herb-flecked ratatouille reminded me of summer.
Prices are competitive: Cappuccinos and lattes are $3; most other
drinks are $2. Crepes range from $3.50 to $6.75. Salads and sandwiches
are $4.75 to $7.95.Read the entire article here.
