Richard Walker’s Pancake House
909 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037
Who loves pancakes? What about Richard Walker’s Pancake House? “Since 1948, the Walker family name has become synonymous with quality family dining. The family has since perfected its reputation for outstanding gourmet pancakes and breakfasts.” At Richard Walker’s you can expect dishes such as Blueberry And Sour Crème Crepes (Juicy blueberries mixed with sour cream and a dash of Triple Sec makes this a true berry delight; sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a side of blueberry compote), Chocolate Explosion (Smooth imported chocolate wrapped delicately in a warm crepe and topped with thick whipped cream and fresh strawberries on top), or Cherry Kijafa Crepes (Tart Montmorency cherries are simmered in sweet Danish Kijafa wine and stuffed inside crepes; more cherries Kijafa on top and dusted with powdered sugar). Or what about San Diego French Toast (Grilled until golden brown and garnished with the freshest sliced bananas, strawberries, and blueberries; real whipped cream on the side) or the quirkily named Pigs In A New Car (By any other name, it’s still three sausage links rolled up in three pancakes and sprinkled with powdered sugar; tropical sauce and whipped butter on the side).
