Despite that it's a chain (that's spread from multiple locations in Japan to now Singapore), I have to say hands-down Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe has the fluffiest pancakes in the world.
They have their own special recipe using meringue, that is boldly posted on their website.
And that is what's so great about Japan. If they say they have fluffy pancakes, they truly mean it, and are proud of it.
They are proud of their home-roasted specialty coffee which has been selected to match the pancakes. And they serve Ryukyu black tea, originally from Sri Lanka and now grown in Onikawa, also selected to accompany their mille-feuille pancakes.
This location in Osaka is a tiny place with only 10 tables and we had to wait half an hour for a table at 10:30 am in the morning. But in the end it was totally worth the wait. I now know to go as early as possible to avoid the line.
