Fuwa Fuwa is Toronto’s best Japanese pancake restaurant.
If you’re a Toronto brunch fan looking for a new spot to line up this weekend head to Bloor and Brunswick in The Annex. Fuwa Fuwa is a bustling restaurant serving stacks of fluffy Japanese souffle pancakes.

About Fuwa Fuwa Pancake House
The restaurant’s trendy, soft-as-a-cloud pancakes originated in Osaka and are traditionally served in Japan as a wedding dessert.
The Japanese love their culinary symbolism. During my recent visit I learned that soufflé pancakes are given their distinct airy texture by separating yolk from white, whipping the whites into a meringue until they are soft as a pillow and then reincorporating. It’s clear that the chef’s sublime “marriage of yolk and white,” has found its destiny (in many of Toronto’s breakfast bellies).
The all day breakfast restaurant’s name translates to “fluffy fluffy,” and since air is the star of the show, expect to wait as long as 20 minutes for your order as both the batter and each pancake are made fresh to order.

Visit Fuwa Fuwa Restaurant in Toronto
The restaurant offers a bright and airy petite space that seats just 20 diners at a time. The all day breakfast restaurant’s interior design offers a clean, minimalist aesthetic featuring wood panels and white walls.
The ideal time to visit the restaurant is in the evening, after the crowds die down. I suggest visiting with a group of foodie friends and ordering every dish on the menu. As the parade of pancake’s fly through the dining room you’ll have an opportunity to taste each of the chef’s creations without feeling too full once you waddle out onto the street.
The popular Japanese pancake restaurant recently opened a second location in Toronto’s Midtown at 2471 Yonge Street.
