Pancake · Glasgow
A pancake stack the size of your forearm is not the obvious family lunch, but this Glasgow city-centre spot handles children well — booths rather than perched stools, room to park a buggy, high chairs, and a kids' menu, with staff who tend to be warm rather than harried. The build-your-own approach earns its keep with fussy eaters: you pick the pancake, pick the toppings, skip what nobody will touch. The buttermilk stacks come light and fluffy, the salmon and smashed avocado is generous, and the milkshakes go down better than the coffee. Portions are big enough that sides stretch between two. Worth knowing: sweet toppings can be very sweet, service can wobble when it's busy, and a takeaway box costs a pound. One parent calls the food simply "delicious fresh food".
