Today, the French Club took to the Agora for a spectacular food event: Le Goût de la Francophonie! Featuring food from around the French-speaking world, today was an opportunity to discover culinary delights from France, Belgium, North Africa and Mauritius.
Not only did the 2013 French Club Committee display some exceptional culinary prowess (with special mentions going to our head chefs, Nawsheen, Jess and Adrianna!), but we also had the good fortune to attract the attention of some French exchange students, who assisted us with our crepe-making techniques!
With perfect weather and lots of wonderful people coming along, Le Goût de la Francophonie not only provided scrumptious global delicacies but was also a perfect setting to catch up with club members, new and old alike. Merci to everyone who came and enjoyed this beautiful day with us!

Restaurant Review: La Petite Crêperie
![]() |
| La Petite Crêperie on Swanston Street |
Point de tables, point de réservations, on s’arrête ici au gré des envies pour manger une crêpe, écouter un peu de musique francaise. En quelques mois à peine, la petite crêperie a su s’imposer comme une des crêperies les plus en vogue de la ville, et est devenue une attraction touristique populaire de Melbourne. Les clients aiment prendre des photos de ce petit bout de France authentique au milieu de la jungle urbaine de Melbourne et filmer le chef cuire ses galettes savoureuses.
Si vous passer par là, n’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster l’une de leurs fabuleuses crêpes. Pour plus de renseignements, vous pouvez vous rendre sur leur sites internet.

Recipe Collection: Gâteau aux Pommes
| Laurène (right), near Grammond |
In fact, the recipe goes back to Laurène’s grandmother, so it is a true stéphanois classic! One can always replace the apple with peaches, apricots, berries... whatever fruit takes your fancy or is the pick of the season!
| The finished gâteau! |
2 eggs
7 soup spoons of flour (Laurène doesn’t bother to sift anything)
5 or 6 soup spoons of sugar
Half a sachet of yeast powder
A splash of milk
A splash of rum
Apples, peeled and cut into quarters
