Restaurant Review: The Skinny Pancake
Located near the waterfront in Burlington, VT is the Skinny Pancake, a crepe and fondue restaurant. We went for Sunday brunch yesterday morning. The menu had a good selection of both savory and dessert crepes. I had the "Lumberjack" a crepe filled with egg, cheddar cheese and ham. At first I was worried that a crepe could be big enough to be a meal, but my fears were groundless--I couldn't finish. Nicely stuffed with good quality fillings. The crepe itself was just a tad dry, but flavorful. Rick had the "Eggs Fetalicious" stuffed with olives, spinach, feta, tomato, mushrooms and egg. The service was friendly, but the system of taking a number to your table and having the waitstaff wander the restaurant and outside tables with your meal in hand seemed a little inefficient. Almost all of the ingredients are locally produced. I'll be sure to post again when I try their fondue.

a big thumbs up from me. I look forward to a return visit for fondue and/or crepes (breakfast or desert). It cost twice as much as a normal breakfast, but I felt it was an excellent value.
Your mention about the crepe being dry makes me realize I never tried a taste of crepe alone. I always included stuffins, but it also makes me wonder if they offered variation in the type of crepe (whole wheat, oat, tomato/basil). If they don't now, perhaps they should consider adding it.
