Frjtz may have closed back in April, but crepes will soon be returning to 581 Hayes Street. Along with fried chicken sliders, adobo pork stew, porcini popcorn, and lots more.

We’ve snagged an early draft of the menu at Noir, the wine bar and restaurant that will soon be adding some eclectic flavor to Hayes Valley.
