Chez Suzette is actually named after its co-owner Suzette, who previously worked at three-Michelin starred fine dining restaurant Joël Robuchon with her partner, Jonathan. This classy, bright eatery has two floors and an outdoor area, where you are invited to relax and enjoy the good food and homely atmosphere.Â
Choose from a wide range of food available, with a brunch menu from 9am to 5pm featuring items such as Croque Monsieur ($22++), a gooey, savoury grilled ham and cheese sandwich with sourdough toast, Comte cheese and bechamel sauce.Â

Chez Suzette’s dessert menu consists of crepes, pancakes, and ice cream. It’s only fitting to try Chez Suzette’s Crepes Suzette ($17++), a French classic that is drenched in a tangy housemade sauce made from oranges.Â
