This was so amazing. I love Pancakes on the Rocks in Sydney, but I think this might be even better! Those pancakes are so soft! I love that they do an all-day breakfast. It's such a great combination of sweet and salty. The decor is fabulous too. The old timey feel is so cool. It's so retro. The milkshake was so thick that you think it was almost a sundae. It was glorious. Staff are super friendly too and very quick. Service was brilliant. I loved this place. They have a huge sweet and savoury range of pancakes and crepes. Something for everyone.

Very pretty vintage place and the pancakes taste really good. It’s fluffy and soft! However, the portion is too small. Ordered bacon and eggs pancakes and literally only had one slice of bacon. But other than that, it’s all good.

Absolutely love this place. Prompt friendly service. Generous servings. Great family atmosphere and long opening hours. A long time staple of the Canberra scene and a very pleasant environment for friends, family or even on your own. I love the historical timeless feel and soft acoustics (sound absorbing wood). Great venue. Five stars.

The recent changes to this restaurant are all for the better! I went for breakfast for the first time since it has been renamed and it was the best meal I’ve ever had here. The food was delivered super quickly, the prices are lower than before and there are some great new additions to the menu including the amazing blueberry pancakes. Oh my goodness these pancakes were delicious! So fluffy! My coffee was hot and strong, staff were friendly and the decor is largely unchanged which I was relieved about; we love being able to sit in a booth every time. I think I’ll be eating here a lot more often now!

Review Context: Family of 4 with 2 adults in early 40s and 2 girls aged 8 and 6 from Sydney. Australian Day long weekend in Canberra.
Looked for a place to eat for our picky kids who only eat bacon/eggs and pancakes, ended up finding a place that provided all this in one. There is a kids menu with good portion sizes for the girls. Our 8 year old got 1 pancake with bacon and eggs and the 6 year old got "Lucy in the sky", which is 2 pancakes with ice cream and chocolate fudge sauce. My wife and I shared the "Rather large pancakes" which had 3 pancakes, sausages, grilled tomatoes and fried eggs. The pancakes were delicious, very fluffy and flavour was spot on. The other items were great as well.
The staff were friendly and attentive and the with the old world charm of the decor created a very relaxed and warm experience. The kids were offered kids menus with a colouring stencil on the back, so kept them occupied for a while.
Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.
The only negative would be the coffee, if compared to the quality that we have come to expect back in Sydney.
Definitely recommend this place for families.

A great find, this unique restaurant serves breakfast lunch and dinner and has a huge menu of sweet and savoury options. My lemon pancakes were freshly cooked and delicious. I also enjoyed a 'real' cup of tea, which had a pot of boiling water thoughtfully included on the side. The kids enjoyed ordering from the kids menu and were very pleased with their pancakes and sprinkles. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing! The pancakes were delicious, the mega chocolate shake was icy cold & just like shakes used to be!
The staff were friendly & didn’t stop & the chef was working overtime to get the food out quickly.
We cannot recommend Capital Pancakes more highly & will definitely visit again next time we are in Canberra!

We came in tonight for our first visit after the rebranding and we're so impressed. The equivalent of our "usuals" were not only cheaper than before but also better. For three people, we paid about $10 less in total than what we would at The Pancake Parlour. The Blueberry Stack in particular was spectacular. An amazing addition to the menu and superior to the old Blueberries dish. I love cinnamon and getting to choose the number of pancakes is a welcome change.
We were initially concerned that our beloved Swiss Mountain Malt was gone but were relieved to discover it now goes by the name of Mega Shake.

I have been going to the Parlour for 20yrs now. It is a fantastic place to sit back in a booth and enjoy not only the food and friendships but the atmosphere. This place hasn't changed in the 20yrs I have been going and that's what makes it great. It NEVER disappoints.

Had the best dinner as always. The bacon and potato pancake is my absolute favourite and every time I get it it is perfect. Staff were lovely & service was great. My favourite place to go out to dinner �

We just ate here and I have to say - We loved it! We were caught in the Canberra balloon breakfast rush but the staff were polite & friendly. Service was quick, coffee was good and the pancakes were delicious!! We'll be back!!
Thanks for adding blueberry pancakes to the menu!!

Went for lunch, snitzel was raw, coffee was bitter, place was dirty. Not enough staff, get with it. Never again. No tables were not cleared, toilet lock broken.

It was horrible they served deconstructed chocolate dutch pancake, meaning it was all broken. They tried to hid under the whipped cream and ice cream. I don't mind paying $20 for a piece of pancake, (yes it was only one piece) as long as it was served with love and care.

Pleasantly surprised how well pancakes and barramundi crumbed fish go together. Very delicious. Utterly enjoyed it. Highly recommend White Russian Blintz Philadelphia cream cheese with mixed in sultanas. Very nice. Friendly service. Great night all together.

My wife Ela and I had a wonderful evening with a splendid meal and service. The baramundi fish was cooked perfectly and the salted caramel stack was spot on.

I bought my boys to Capital Pancakes tonight for a meal, I was telling them both how much we use to enjoy coming here as teenagers ourselves. Excellent service and the meals were beautiful. We will be back sooner rather than later .
Cathy Wyatt
Would love to tell you what the food was like but can't. Just sat here for 25 min and no service whatsoever. Not even an offer of a glass of water. If they were busy would understand but the place was nearly empty. Went to Shorty's for great food.

I have had mixed experiences at The Pancake Parlour Canberra over the years, but yesterday, when my daughters and I went for breakfast, I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. We were tended to promptly, and in a very courteous and friendly manner. We had no sooner ordered our drinks and meals, that they were being served. Very enjoyable - and scrumdiddlyumptious - experience
Vanessa Parton
