I've never been to the Royal Canadian Pancake House. For me, I think coffee shops offer the best in city breakfasts. Now, note, I am not into pancakes or french toast so if you're looking for authentic maple syrup, you may be on to something. I like eggs. Coffee shops do them great. Plus I can read my paper and be poured the endless cup of coffee. ^
