Pancake Shop?

[chris4647]

Does anyone know what ever happened to the Pancake Shop that was in the wee arcade between Gresham Street and Royal Avenue?
I went to it for years with the kids every time i was in Belfast, it was family run and did great Fry-Ups but specialised in savoury Pancakes.
it was always packed, then a few months ago i turned up and it was gone!!!
Can't understand it, anyone know what happened or did it move???

I remember the wee Burger shop,
it didnt look very appetizing but the smell was sensational!!!

burgers were great  and i am very fussy  haven't been down that way in  a while  i wonder if it is still there it was last year if i remember rightly

The Hudson Bar uses one of the units as a restaurant, think it used to be a shoe repair shop & has part of the arcade as a smoking area.
 
i was out in the arcade/smoking area at night a couple of weeks ago,so not sure if any of the units are still open

i remember a shoe repair place there the burger place was just before you came out to royal ave  sasd these wee places have to close  my kids loved us taking them there

The wee bakery in Castle St sells the biggest and best pancakes in the World.   They're massive.

That arcade was filthy, should have been closed down years ago.

I walked through it this morning, its been re named Hudson's Yard.
 
The burger unit is still open, its called Buffalo Bills.All other units are closed
 
The Bar has benches, table parasols etc covering the whole arcade

Hi chris4647 & Welcome to the Forum.

The Pancake Cafe you are asking about was owned by 'Griffen's'

They used to have / operate, A N Other one in Fountain Street as well, in the premises which used to be the Bourn Bouche (?) Bakery.

And also a 'Home Bakery' on Broadway, Falls Road.

I think it was the 'Rates & Rent' which bate them out!

And yes!  They did do the best 'Crepes', filled with whatever you fancied, in the whole of Ireland!
