We love pancake day at Frost. If you are unsure of where to get your fix this Shrove Tuesday then here are some suggestions.
Savoury:
Pizza East Portobello – the renowned Italian-inspired pizzeria will offer delicious savoury crespelle (the Italian equivalent of crepes). Rolled and served warm, fillings include radicchio and gorgonzola or prosciutto and fontina.
Rivea – the glamorous restaurant takes it’s inspiration from Italy with this year’s Lenten offering. Savoury ‘socca’ pancakes- made with chickpea flour – make a delicious light snack, or can be filled to create a ‘socca salad’ for a more substantial, but relatively guilt-free, treat.
Sweet:
aqua shard – head sky-high and indulge with a view. aqua shard will be offering a special pancake pudding at lunch and dinner throughout the week, with £1 from each purchase going to charity.
aqua shard pancake flambéed with cassis, served with maple syrup ice-cream, caramelised pecan nuts, blue berry jam – £7.50, of which £1 goes to London Bubble Youth charity, which supports young people in drama.
Cafe Boheme – nestled in the heart of Soho, this quintessential French cafe will offer traditional crepes served with lemon and sugar, or blueberry and Nutella.
High Road Brasserie – this French-style brasserie will cater for all tastes this Lent with ‘mix and match’ pancakes served with any of their breakfast sides. Choose from eggs any way, a range of fresh fruit, or perhaps take inspiration from the States and order yours doused in maple syrup and bacon…
