Maison de Crêpe recently hosted its first ever cabaret brunch. Cityscape went along to see what all the fuss was about.

This one is for all of you ladies who like to lunch with a side of extra. These two sold-out brunches-with-a-show star the tantalizing trio Jack Swallows, Erika Flash and CoCo Flash, who entertain audiences of two sold-out shows with their songs, dances, tricks and treats while guests mix and mingled before being treated to French fusion fare.

The show’s multiple drag costume changes include big boas, sexy sequins and sparkles plus more stunning stage makeup than all of Ballys’ beauty counters combined. We meet and greet with the divas before being seated in the sun-filled atrium for a meal – three courses of Maison’s iconic crepes.
Each lunch ticket comes with a very fitting drink jewel, which we appreciate instead of a boring old drinks voucher. We opt to purchase an additional bag of jewels to make it a luxuriously long lunch.

Maison de Crêpe chief executive Sheena Hemens is thrilled with the turnout. “We had had exceptional feedback,” she tells us. “Customers loved the cabaret brunch and are already asking when the next one is happening. We are working on things behind the scenes to make it happen and will definitely be having more of these in the near future.”

So keep your eyes out – this is about the most fun you can have at brunch.
