Where The Pancakes Are:
Situated in the heart of London, Just a few minutes from London (Bridge) and Borough Market.
I recently visited Where the Pancakes Are and ordered the full English breakfast, substituting the roasted tomatoes with an extra sausage. Here’s my detailed review:
Booking and Seating:
If you don't reserve in advance, you'll have to sit outside. This isn't bad if the weather is good, as the outdoor seating area has a roof and blankets, which is quite resourceful.
The Meal:
My English breakfast included 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, bacon, baked beans, 1 fried egg, and syrup.
Although I appreciate that everything was handmade, including the baked beans and pancakes, I found the dish underwhelming.
The bacon was overly crispy, shriveled, and looked tiny. A different type of bacon that doesn’t burn easily and looks more appealing might be better.
The pancakes were unremarkable and didn't stand out, although very fluffy.
On the positive side, the sausages were crisp and the beans were fresh, which were the highlights of the meal.
Service and Value:
The service was fast despite the restaurant being busy, which is good for business.
However, I felt that the value was not worth the price. It seems that part of the cost is for the location and surroundings, which were one of the best aspects of the place.
Overall Impression:
The location is a hidden gem, but overall, I was quite underwhelmed with the meal.
In summary, while Where the Pancakes Are has a charming location and efficient service, the food did not live up to my expectations in terms of value and quality.
