If indulgence had an address this Pancake Tuesday, it would be Harry’s on Bohermore. Their pancakes are bold, unapologetic and absolutely loaded. Keep it classic with crispy bacon and maple syrup, or go all in with their Sticky Chicken Pancakes, buttermilk fried chicken, Benny’s sticky glaze, crispy bacon and a sriracha drizzle. It’s sweet, spicy and wildly satisfying. Got a sweet tooth? Their Kinder, Biscoff and Ferrero Stacks options are to-die for. Served from 12-9.30pm, it’s the kind of all-day pancake party we can get behind.
