"The pancakes were tasty and huge portions. My recommendation to order one for 2 if you choose pancakes with ingredients or oven pancakes. The Perla bear was surprisingly good - light and tasty."

"Just amazing! The food was so tasty, we had the pulled beef oven baked pancake and the Gyros pancake and were really pleased with what we had ordered. It was busy but we didn't feel rushed, I think it's safe to say we will be back before we go home- especially as we didn't have room for dessert!"
Laura Tacey
"What a nice place to find some food after an evening of enjoying drinks. I’m not sure what this food item is called, but it’s like a huge pancake calzone. Mine had shrimp, chorizo, spinach, and peppers, with a sour cream dill sauce on the side. The mint lemonade was also really good."
