The Pancake Bakery - Amsterdam - Restaurants, Cafes & Food Reviews

Although it can be quite expensive, if you are looking for classic dutch pancakes (not like American pancakes) try The Pancake Bakery on the Prinsengracht. It's not far from the Anne Frank House. You can get sweet or savory fillings....delicious!

For about 9euro an entree, this place is a bargain for what you get. Delicious and HUGE Dutch-style pancakes with a variety of sweet and savory toppings. The pancakes are thinner than Americans would be used to, and there's a big pot of what looks like maple syrup but is really a very sweet melted sugar concoction to drizzle on top. Plus, they don't normally have pancakes for breakfast - this is an excellent choice for lunch or maybe even dinner.

I almost feel like if you're going to do one with more than one topping, you might want to split it with someone or do a bit of extra exercise afterward, lol. I had the ham and cheese pancake and it was divine; plus, I didn't really need to eat the rest of the day, haha.

Well worth it! Great location for a stop off before or after the Anne Frank Huis, but really its easy access from anywhere in the general center of the city.
