Patrons flock to this San Francisco institution established in 1938 for the "world-famous" Swedish pancakes. The main dining room is divided into two sections: one at the front window overlooking Powell Street and another with a long dining counter and bar. Old family photos and Norman Rockwell prints enliven the walls. The restaurant is located a half block from Union Square in the heart of downtown San Francisco.
