PANCAKES ON THE ROCKS - Shop 230 Harbourside Shopping Centre, Darling Harbour

It was mid-afternoon and all we wanted was to satisfy our hunger with a delicious treat and also fill us and leave with smiles on our faces. Well… we found a place that meets those requirements…

‘Pancakes on the Rocks’. Having been around over 40 years, they have mastered that perfect pancake recipe with the added ingredients that screams “this is it!!!” We all ordered different pancakes, I had ‘Hot ‘n’ Troppo’ with two luscious, soft buttermilk pancakes cooked to perfection with grilled banana, walnuts, cream, scoop of chocolate ice cream, topped with thick, gooey chocolate sauce. The pancakes just melted in your mouth and disappeared within seconds. The combination was absolute perfect. 

One of my daughters didn’t know which pancakes to go for, chocolate or buttermilk? So she carefully chose ‘Vanilla & Choc Surprise’ where she got one buttermilk pancake and the other of course was chocolate with a scoop each of chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with their chocolate sauce. She told me that she much preferred the chocolate pancake. 

My other daughter who loves berries had ‘Blueberry Heaven’ that consisted of two buttermilk pancakes with blueberries swimming in their own thick juices topped with cream and vanilla ice cream. And my wife who loves her chocolate fixes had ‘Devils Delight’ that would have brought her to ‘chocolate heaven’ indeed. It consisted of two chocolate pancakes, with cream, chocolate ice cream, drizzled with their chocolate sauce and surrounded with lots of strawberries – they didn’t skimp on the strawberries. 

We all walked out of the place with smiles on our faces and exchanging our delights. However, if you want to make a full meal out of this place, they do have pizzas, salads, crepes and ribs on the menu and then why not finish your meal with their perfect range of pancakes for dessert? 

The restaurant is very busy, but you get seated within five minutes, it has a family restaurant feel to it with bathroom facilities, large tables to dine on – don’t feel squashed at all, lots of elbow room and spaces for large plates to fit comfortably, the prices are fair that you get every cent you paid for. Once you’re finished, ask for the bill and they will bring the bill to your table, where you take it to the front and pay for it – too easy!
