Delicious Crepes, Cosy Brixton Atmosphere!

Nestled within the vibrant heart of Brixton Village, Sarava emerges as a creperie that effortlessly marries charm with culinary delight. Upon entering, guests are greeted with a warm, familial embrace from Ivonete and her staff—an atmosphere that harks back to your grandmother’s kitchen, cozy and uniquely inviting. The open kitchen, painted in serene whitewashes, sets the stage for a level of artistry seldom seen, where sumptuous aromas dance playfully through the dining space, effortlessly whetting appetites even before one opens a menu. The vegan options here are as imaginative as they are delicious, bringing an additional layer of inclusivity to a colorful selection of crepes that range beautifully from the luscious sweet to the savory.

What truly sets Sarava apart is not just its exquisite array of crepes—replete with inventive fillings such as the satisfyingly robust El Egg Ranchero, or the carefully balanced Fermiere with its surprising marriage of sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms—but also its spirited environment that buzzes with life amidst steadfastly friendly service. The cocktail menu exudes this same freshness, enhanced by potent mixes tailored to elevate any brunch or whimsical evening. While the occasional rush might slow service, the cheerful staff and enchanting decor tailor it into an experience worth enduring. With generous portions at surprisingly modest prices, it stakes a claim as a highlight within Brixton Market, well worthy of a visit and then some. Warm company, fantastic crepes, and a welcome reminiscent of familial gatherings make Sarava not merely a restaurant but a destination. — Jasper Griddle
