We had to go there because the other members of my little travelling party had been there before and I have to say they did in no way exaggerate. The pancake itself is yummi. Excellent smooth consistency and simply delicious. Gideon and his staff are very devoted and considerate. One of our choices was the avocado version with prego sauce... More

We were only in Franschhoek for two days but having read the reviews for Gideon's we made sure we found time to stop by for a late breakfast - and we're glad that we did! We shared the caramelised apple and vanilla ice cream pancake and it was absolutely delicious! Light and fluffy pancakes with very generous with toppings! Staff... More

Travelled out here on my penultimate day in SA just for the drive and so glad we did! Didn't know what to expect but as soon as I saw this place I knew we were in for a treat. It was quiet when we got there so we were made to feel very special, although I get the impression everyone... More

After being out of the country for ten years we couldn't wait to go to Franschhoek to eat Gideon's pancakes again, especially the all time famous cinnamon sugar pancake with a lemon cream sauce! It was number 1 on our itinerary. Great was our delight when, indeed, the famous pancakes were still available and still being served by the same... More

A consistent favourite for many years now. The pancakes are excellent and fluffy. Their toppings are tasty and interesting.

This is the place to go for the Famous Francshoek pancakes! What to expect - Friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere and delicious pancakes - try the curry chicken if you have a savoury tooth and for those less adventurous the plain cinnamon and ice-cream ones are a firm favourite - really good idea that half portions are available so you...

My daughter, Robynn insisted that we try Gideon's delish pancakes. We finally took the scenic drive to Franschoek yesterday and from the moment we arrived, felt so welcome and relaxed. What amazing hospitality and absolutely delish pancakes...mmmmm is all I can say! Savoury and sweet - I had a little taste of everyone's around the table. Our lovely day out... More

After sitting for about 20 minutes waiting to get any service we were served by a charming waiter. Ordered a savoury and sweet pancake which were ok but not that great. The white wine and chicken pancake tasted quite acidic and really like a ready made sauce. Don't really know what all the fuss is about - the other pancake... More

Gideon was delightful, regaling us with stories of how he came to be in the Pancake business. There is such a wonderful selection of both savoury and sweet pancakes that one visit cannot possibly do it justice. Every pancake was a delight, beautifully presented and I can highly recommend the Carrot, Apple and Beetroot Juice! Will definitely visit again ...
