After a successful vending cart career the owners of The Skinny Pancake decide to open a restaurant in a permanent location. They are now located in the Main Street Landing Building on on Burlington’s waterfront at Lake & College streets. They serve crepes, crepe dishes and fondue. Be sure to check their menu to see all that they offer.

Aside from local musicians in the evening, every now and then they do special events such as Free Crepe Day.

They have upgraded from a vending cart on Church St. to a full fledged restaurant caddy corner from Burlington Bay and ECHO in the Main Street Landing Building. As they open at 8:00 am seven days a week, it is the perfect spot to stop for breakfast before heading out to ECHO, the waterfront or a walk on the bike path. If you are a first timer with a picky eater, try the "pooh-bear" made with VT honey & cinnamon sugar. Great seating options aside from your typical high chairs and booster seats. Try the long bar table right in front of the Crepe Making window. That ought to keep your toddler entertained for a few minutes while they get your food ready. They do have outdoor seating as well (perfect if you have brought your doggie along).

If you are so inclined to make this your lunch or dinner spot, (which I would recommend as well), they serve Beer & Wine...can you "ahhhh"? after a long day of hearing "mommy, mommy, mommy".....

NOTE: They take reservations for parties of 6 or more.

For New Years fireworks, this is definitely the place. We made a reservation for 20, ended up with the entire upstairs. Great spot to jump outside and view the fireworks at 7:30. Love their menu. But more importantly, the kids love the menu - and they loved the fireworks.

Great location, especially in the summer. The bathrooms are a little bit of a hike, but you are rewarded with new, clean and big facilities. And if your kid is really dirty/messy, there is even a shower in the handicap-accessible stall (25 cents per 2 minutes)!

The food is great, but be prepared. Even on a weekday, you might wait up to an hour for your food.

You gotta love a place that believes so strongly in a single type of food. If you're in the mood for it, the Skinny Pancake is a great place to try dishes that you've never had anywhere else.

The downside, of course, is that if you're not in the mood for crepes, you're pretty much out of luck. The menu isn't very diverse and the prices are a little steep.

I recommend the quesadilla crepe, though!

I love the Skinny Pancake for dinner with kids. They don't have a kids menu, but don't worry, they have a menu based on pancakes, come on! You can have crepes filled with eggs, nutella, curried potatoes - there really is something for everyone. The salad is awesome and enough for a family, the fries come out family style, and if you get there early (you know, kid meal time, 5:30), sit upstairs, there is a big table (it looks like it seats 8) with a big window overlooking the kitchen where you can watch them making crepes, and a little table which seats 4, with a similar view. Enough entertainment for my kids while they are waiting for their crepes, and cranky kids get no dessert crepes - enough of a threat to get good behavior....more
