If anyone is looking for an excuse to eat pancakes all day, Shrove Tuesday is approaching – meaning an array of homemade and misshaped crepes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Whilst many of us are stocking up on chocolate spread and fervently chopping bananas and squeezing lemons for the big day, a range of restaurants are offering an alternative to novice pancake flipping by serving a delicious array of savoury and sweet crepe dishes.

Ideas to celebrate Pancake Day include starting the morning off at vegan hangout by CHLOE. to try their famous Daily Wheat Pancake, topped with Maple Butter and Whipped Coconut Cream for a hearty plant-based brunch. Or if a savoury dish is what you have been craving, family-run Vietnamese restaurant Mien Tay serves a traditional Crispy Pancake, filled with flavoursome vegetables and meat, from tender slices of Chicken, Prawn and Pork to Tofu and mixed Mushrooms. Alternatively Mien Tay’s Crispy Aromatic Duck and Pancakes topped with fresh Cucumber and Spring Onion with a drizzle of Hoisin Sauce also acts as the perfect pancake supplement.

For a light and fragrant Afternoon treat, Mille Patisserie in Paddington offers a delicious twist on the classic French cake, Gâteau Mille Crêpes. Made in-house these pastel coloured delights are layered with light crêpes, each separated with a brush of French pastry cream. And for a truly indulgent Shrove Tuesday, Creams Cafe is serving a range of decadent pancake dishes topped with creamy gelato, rich chocolate sauce and crushed biscuits such as Oreo and Ferrero Rocher.
