There are few foody celebrations more exciting than Pancake Day! So when the institution that is Shrove Tuesday comes around every year, we embrace it with all our might and challenge our appetites to the fullest.
Cue Parisian caviar experts Petrossian; here to elevate your Pancake Day with their take on that most mouth-wateringly delicious batter product.
With an exceptional menu available at their brand new gourmet café in South Kensington, you can expect traditional French galettes topped with smoked salmon, salmon roe, fresh cream and lemon.
