When we think pancakes we usually think Stampede breakfasts, but today
is Mardi Gras and the day pancakes are most celebrated internationally.
Here are three places to celebrate Fat Tuesday.
Going Dutch
The mammoth discs at the Pfanntastic
Pannenkoek Haus are classically Dutch, 12 inches in diameter and
closer to the crepe clan than the flapjack family. Go sweet with
flavours that include berries and ice cream or savoury with cheeses and
meats. 2439 54 Ave. S.W., Calgary, 403-243-7757, www.pfanntasticpannenkoek.com
Fruitful Discovery
Thomsons
Restaurant in the Hyatt is all dark wood and deep chairs, with a
menu that comforts both travelers and downtown business folk. The
roasted apple pancakes come with almond streusel, cinnamon sugar and the
sweet drizzle of maple syrup. 112 8 Ave. S.E., Calgary, 403-537-4446, www.thomsonsrestaurant.com
Puppy Love
Dennys
is not normally a dining destination save for the occasional hangover
meal of sizzlin skillets and grand slams. But, the chain also serves the
best snack-sized pancake. Pancake Puppies are little round balls of
batter deep fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Pair an order with cup
of coffee to satisfy your pancake craving for less than $5. 2450 16 Ave.
N.W., Calgary, 403-282-1001, www.dennys.ca
