Canberra

THERE’S NOT JUST MELBOURNE, YOU KNOW!

 The Canberra restaurant is an independently run Pancake Parlour restaurant. Phillip Barton, who operates the restaurant, first started with The Pancake Parlour in 1965 and worked for several years in various Melbourne locations.

 In the entrance window above the restaurant in Canberra, there is an enlargement of the front page of an old newspaper, The Colonial News, with a headline that calls out loudly: “PANCAKE INSULT! DANCER WHIPS COOK”.

The headline, and the old drawing that goes with it (pictured here), are among the first things you see when you visit the Canberra restaurant.

Also in the window, clunking away with flashing lights, whirring wheels and pulleys, is the last remaining example of a real Pancake Stamping Machine.
