Restaurants that serve breakfast serve pancakes but restaurants called diners in the States are known for pancakes amongst other breakfast foods. Ed |

Well, in the US, I think we just say "restaurant." However, there is a popular and very famous chain of pancake restaurants called "The International House of Pancakes," or just "IHOP." So, sometimes we say "let �s go to the pancake house" when we are talking about pancake restaurants. Can anybody else from the US confirm or deny this? Do we have a special word? --Matt

Dear Edit,
as far as I can see ( The Free Dictionary : http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Creperie ) the french word is used in English too, to design the place where you can have a pancake dinner : �creperie � crepe, in French is �pancake � in English
Hope it helps have a good Valentine evening pelletrine

Yes, I have never heard the term creperie before today. People here sometimes eat crepes, but they aren �t the most popular form of pancake here in the States. Also, someone would call it a "craperie" which has somewhat disgusting overtones. Look up "crap" if you don �t understand the pun. |

There �s a difference between sweet and savoury cr�pes - it�s basically the difference between wheat flour and buckwheat flour (bl� noir), although you �ll find both in a genuine Breton cr�perie. The savouries are delicious with a wee flagon of farm cider by the way.

In Oz we just say restaurant or cafe, depending on which one it is. Often we �ll casually say the pancake place.
We do have a few creperies but generally people don �t use that word. They �ll just say the crepe place.
