Pancakes are never as good as you imagine them being. The Pancake Parlour does do buckwheat pancakes on request, which is good for those not eating gluten, though be prepared to remind your server and to make sure you specify no wafer with your icecream (which, btw, is organic and great). Serving staff are young and bored and expect to have about four during the course of your meal. They're open late and are never awful, which is really all that can be said. If you're gluten free after hours at Chadstone Shopping Centre, this is your best bet for gluten free food.
