Pancakes. Ultimately one of the greatest food creations ever invented. My friends and I are obsessed with them, and so when the opportunity arose to organise a birthday brunch for a friend we were all on full internet menu browsing alert to try and find somewhere original in Bristol to test out some pancakes. Luckily, one very clever friend suggested Deco Lounge, a new cafe/bar that recently opened on Cotham Hill- a conveniently short walk from the University Campus.

It took all of us an entire 10 seconds to eye up the menu before knowing exactly what to order- of course the 'Triple-stacked buttermilk pancakes with sliced banana, blueberries, peach sauce and crème fraîche.' We could also go for pancakes with bacon and maple syrup (although all 8 of us that got the pancakes went for the banana option!) THEY WERE DELICIOUS. Just the right ratio of sauce to fruit to pancake, and enough to make you feel pleasantly full but not stuffed.

The rest of the menu looked incredible, so I will definitely be returning to Deco Lounge again to not only test out some other brunch options, but also to sample the rest of their extensive menu. It ranges from ciabatta sandwiches, to hot dogs, to burgers, to tapas and a fantastic pudding selection.
Deco Lounge is part of a large chain of 'Lounges' that was established by a trio of friends in 2002. The first was opened in an empty opticians in Bedminster, and it has been expanding ever since. The aim of the Lounges is to create a relaxed and friendly environment where family, friends and locals can meet for a coffee, a drink or something to eat.
The interior was really fun (and rather eccentric!) and I liked they little touch of providing boardgames that were available for people to play with- such a great idea.
So, a trip to a 'Lounge' is hugely recommended- you know what I would advise you to order, however for those of you that are not such avid pancake fans as myself then there is a huge selection of other delicious looking things on the menu to go for....Enjoy!
