Don Czarnecki replaced the comb in the lady’s hand with a fork and underneath emblazoned the simple word LOVELY! Lady logo was born and seen on such unlikely places as the helmets of the US Soldiers in Vietnam, the snowmobiles of the Australian contingent in Antarctica and the giant hot air balloons of Roger Mead more in the skies over Europe during the world championships. It would be a home away from home that reflected the character of the city and its people and, maximum of all, was an Australian restaurant with a very distinct and culinary style. Curious people peered into what was now a building site, jeering: Pancakes? Appropriate luck with that! The plan was to simply serve pancakes for lunch and dinner, with both sweet and savory toppings. Fortunately, the customers came, and right from the begin people seemed to appreciate this was something unique. The crowds grew and familiar faces kept returning including the beginning ever customer, Bill pickling. The swell of patrons turned into chaos, with customers washing dishes, waiting on tables and just. Waiting! In 1969, Allen and Helen made the move across to Victoria to introduce this totally new approach to eating out. Restaurants were now licensed and America had landed on the moon.

It was a blessing in disguise it hadn’t worked the day before! In 1986, we formed an alliance with Hosts Cinema Corporation as they pioneered important cinema complexes within shopping centers. While Granny painstakingly delivered the maple syrup from the USA, it was further refined to our standards by the Maple Syrup Refining Plant. The Granny Plane pedaled purposefully every day and night for more than a decade until Forest Hill Chase closed in 2010. (Just don’t let artist Peter Don hear you say that!). Segment of taking The Pancake parlor into the tomorrow was the expansion of the Wine List and the introduction of the most delicious cocktails. Lounge area.
