| Potty Pancakes & Burger Bar 2 Barnet Road Herts EN6 2QS 01707 652 555 |
A sweet ending to a meal is most certainly something we
always look forward to but after we realised that life is short, we started
having dessert first!
As you may be able to tell, WordOfMouthLDN are unashamed and self proclaimed dessert
fanatics. Sometimes we feel
that dessert is just enough, and on this occasion, it was exactly that. This week, we took a trip to Potty Pancakes, a specialist dessert
restaurant in the quiet residencies of Barnet.
As we entered, we were transported back to 1950s. This
monochrome, red sofa American diner style restaurant really invited a sense of
clean and classic. Usually it’s just the two of us at the table but on this
occasion, we came with some friends and family, including our little cousin who
was particularly amazed at the playful décor and endless black and white photos of Marilyn Monroe.
Seated in the VIP section (you know how we do), the private
booth really added to the exclusive Hollywood type feel of the restaurant. The
menu was extensive with fun, exciting dessert combinations and Hollywood legend
titled savoury options.

| Pina Colada Oreo Milkshake |
Drinks
To drink, Candace had a Pina Colada and Jamelia an Oreo Milkshake. Candace
loves the tropical beach like journey a pina colada takes her but on this
occasion, she felt stopped in at the security gates. Extremely water based with a
lack of pina or colada, a failed attempt and disappointing start. Jamelia
ordered a oreo milkshake which was equally as disappointing.

| Brownie Heaven |
Main Dessert
Spoilt for choice, we all went ahead and ordered our main
dessert. Jamelia kept things simple with a plain waffle with vanilla ice cream
and maple syrup and Candace ordered an apple crumble on a waffle. Around the
table, the variety continued with a brownie heaven and a skittles pancake with
chocolate sauce.
As desserts arrived, the table was in amazement (mainly for dramatic effect on behalf of our little cousin) at the colours and sizes of each
order. Candace apple crumble was like a deconstructed apple crumble on top of a
waffle. The waffle, soft and warm not particularly sweet in itself but that’s
where maple syrup comes in. The apple crumble segment wasn’t to her taste, a
little too much and the cinnamon was a little overpowering and we know you’ve
seen what happens when people do the cinnamon challenge! The crumble was a
little dry and the apples were a little too soft, missing that subtle crunch. Overall,
it wasn’t a favourite but presentation wise, 8 out of 10.

Jamelia’s dessert was
heavenly, simplistic perfection. For Jamelia less was definitely more. The basic vanilla ice cream was the perfect partner to the waffle, and was made complete by the american maple syrup drizzled all over. We would most certainly recommend this!
Our little cousin had a pancake with skittles and chocolate,
overwhelmed with excitement about what she was presented with, she was grinning
from ear to ear. What we love most about Pottys is their kids menu and the great extent to which they allow kids to customise their dishes.

| Skittles '1,009' Pancake with chocolate sauce |
She was having an absolute field day and when asked her
how much she would score the dessert out of 10; her response was – 1,009, The ‘9’ was
just the cutest touch!
Pottys Pancakes was a great experience, one of North
London’s best kept secrets and great for sweet tooth lovers who are proud to
embrace the sugar (occasionally).
