Owner and Chef of Fontaine Caffe & Creperie, I enjoy all types of cuisine, especially if they are cooked simply and I can taste the ingredients.

I don’t see myself as a Chef, but as a businesswoman. I started working in a restaurant at a very young age and feel in love with the business.

The thing I like the most about this business is the craziness, it’s never boring, and you always have to adapt.

Introduce people to Authentic French Crepes and for people to take time to enjoy their meal and company of friends and family.
