The Pancake Kitchen

We had a lovely table next to the fire, perfect for a cold night. Our order was taken promptly and our food arrived quickly. Our meals were delicious! We enjoyed a game of chess too.

I can barely type this: being in a 12-hours-later food coma makes writing difficult. But hungry folk need to know this: the Pancake Kitchen is a rocker of worlds, a buster of guts, a saviour of sweet (and savoury!) tooths. I devoured their Mexican combo pancakes, a treat in themselves, before moving on to a whopping dessert share with my family. The tiramisu pancakes were decadent and divine, and the sweet pancake medley was an outrage of the best possible kind, a tastebud tour of four of the most lush toppings ever to pass my lips and loosen my belt. Pancake Kitchen, you have been warned: we’ll be back!

A straightforward First Table experience. All good.

Great food. First time at the resturant in Ballarat. Same quality in food, service and decore as other stores.

Great food, so filling!

Friendly staff and pancakes reliable as always.

Lovely night out with the family. Food was fast and fresh. Service was attentive. Super fun evening. Kids particularly liked the giant chess game next to our table.

Enthusiastic service and reliable tasty food as always!

Fun, family-friendly restaurant atmosphere. Staff were eager to be of assistance, impressive after their numerous trips up and down the stairs.
Cosy dining seating arrangements highly recommended for the introverted type who don't like people looking over their shoulder!

Only difficulty was the personal struggle of whether to go with the savoury or the sweet options and deciding if chocolate chip pancakes with a blue heaven ice cream soda could qualify as a well-balanced, nutritious dinner!!

Would highly recommend First Table for a great way to enjoy regular restaurant dining for the family that won't break the budget.

The service at Pancake Kitchen was fantastic and the food was tasty. My kids enjoyed a game of chess there as well! The best of all was booking through First Table saved us $35 !! Great value! Thank you. We'll definitely use First Table again ~ it's so simple and make a family dining out much easier!

This was our second visit, this time we tried savoury meals . I had the fish on potato pancake it was perfectly cooked , still very large meals even though I ordered small serve, so would certainly satisfy a big eater . The staff are excellent and go out of their way to provide a enjoyable atmosphere. My son loves the kids activities offered before the meal . Highly recommend dining here . Looking forward to returning and working our way through the menu.

We were celebrating our son's 4th birthday and because of his strong love of all things pancake we chose to dine the Pancake Kitchen Ballarat. The staff were great decorating an area of the restuarant with balloons and streamers and bringing out an amazing birthday dessert for the birthday boy with chocolate fudge topping, marshmallows, strawberry, banana, sprinkles, icecream... it was the best. And the look on his little face was priceless!

From the second we walked in the door, we felt at home. Very friendly, speedy service. Fantastic hot and delicious food and plenty of it. Well worth every cent and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend

We loved the old school restaurant and view from the top floor! Service was fast and the food was plentiful. Be prepared for massive serves and a sugar overload! Thanks pancake kitchen, we had a fun night.

We don’t usually get to eat out much, life is busy and the costs can add up! Once we heard about First Table and found out that Ballarat’s iconic Pancake Kitchen was involved we knew that’s where we would be going!
The staff were very friendly and greeted us the moment we stepped foot in the door.
Our son ordered a Pancake stack with butter and syrup for his dinner and he couldn’t believe how big and fluffy the pancakes were!
My husband and I both ordered their meal deal - Either an entree and main or a main and dessert. Doing this combo saved a few dollars yet again.
We both ordered the Cottage Fries, myself as a main and my husband as an entree - par boiled potatoes in their skins, then fried and served with sour cream. They were delicious!
For main my husband ordered the Mexican Chicken Crepes - They had a mild chilli bite to them and he thoroughly enjoyed it!
I had the Barbarian Apple Pancakes for dessert - spiced apple and cinnamon on two fluffy pancakes. They were scrumptious.
Safe to say, we will be back!

With two small children who can be very noisy, it was gray to eat out when we had the restaurant to ourselves so we weren’t disturbing other diners.
The food was yummy and the service was great!

It is a gorgeous restaurant with great and interesting food. The décor is amazing and very interesting. the service was superb.

Delicious pancakes, great price and really lovely service. So good!

First experience at Pancake kitchen, it was excellent service and food was delicious .Well above expectations. Staff went out of their way to make it special for my sons birthday. Display of balloons and candles in his meal, was very lovely. Very grateful . Look forward to returning again. Highly recommend.
