Say "Oui" to Fresh French Dishes, Delivered

Plant-based crêperie Faits Maison doesn’t stop at baked sweets

Posted

The Bonnet Shores storefront of Faits Maison boasts vegan crêpes and baked goods, but there’s more to the French crêperie than meets the eye. Owners Elise Massenet and Olivia Wilcox are both from France originally, and pull inspiration from their mothers and grandmothers to create healthy plant-based meals available for pick-up at the shop or delivery to Newport, Jamestown, North Kingstown, and Providence. Weekly menus drop every Friday in their e-newsletter, and the duo gets to work cooking and delivering meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wilcox explains, “It’s a complete dinner with a main dish, a side of green salad from a great local farmer at Chris & Kristina’s Market Garden, homemade French dressing, and a surprise treat for dessert.”

Massenet and Wilcox use French flavors to reinvent classic dishes as vegan fare. Their Eggplant Parmesan is stuffed with creamy cashew “cheese,” and the savory Tomato Tart layered with caramelized onions and fresh herbs features a crisp vegan crust. If you’re in the area, stop by for French Madeleines, lemon poppyseed cookies, fruit-topped crêpes, and other delicacies. “Elise and I started Faits Maison to share healthy and nutritious meals with the community,” says Wilcox, “and making crêpes was a dream of mine for a long time!”
