The Pancake Bakery — Restaurant in Amsterdam

The Pancake Bakery in Amsterdam is a quintessential restaurant that should not be missed during any trip to the city. My partner and I had the pleasure of visiting this delightful establishment several times during our four-day stay, and each time we were treated to a wonderful dining experience.

We decided to try a variety of pancakes from their extensive menu, and we were not disappointed. From the classic ham, cheese, and onion pancake to the more adventurous ham, cheese, and mushroom combination, every pancake we tried was simply delicious. We also indulged in the Belgian Sweet pancakes, which were a delightful treat for our sweet tooth. Whether savory or sweet, the Pancake Bakery's pancakes were top-notch.

One of the standout aspects of our visits was the incredibly friendly and hospitable staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and made to feel like we were part of the family. Their attentiveness and genuine care for our dining experience added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meals.

Aside from the fantastic pancakes, the Pancake Bakery also offered a wide selection of drinks. We couldn't resist trying the iconic Heineken beer, which paired perfectly with our savory pancakes. Additionally, their coffees were a real treat, especially when they were served with a delightful accompaniment of Dutch stroopwafles. It was a true delight to savor these traditional Dutch treats alongside our steaming cups of coffee.

Location-wise, the Pancake Bakery couldn't be more convenient. It is situated just steps away from the famous Anne Frank House, making it an ideal stop for a delicious meal before or after visiting the historic site. The option of outside seating was also a plus, allowing us to enjoy our pancakes while taking in the charming atmosphere of Amsterdam.

All in all, no trip to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to the Pancake Bakery. The delectable pancakes, friendly staff, and fantastic location make it a must-visit restaurant. Whether you're in the mood for a savory pancake or a sweet treat, this cozy establishment is sure to leave you satisfied and...

Honestly, i can't sum up my amazing experience at Pancake Bakery in just this one review! I had an incredibly wonderful time, and the food was definitely worth raving about! 💖

Having found out about Pancake Bakery through several travel vlogs and online recommendations, i had plenty expectations to be met. Within these expectations i usually have of popular restaurants, i almost always think service will usually be a bit dry considering how busy the place gets but that was the complete opposite of what i experienced in Pancake Bakery! 💖 💖 Despite waiting in line to be seated, we are quickly entertained by a server and they offered water bowls for our dogs right away! 💖 Our server, Jazz, and two others were very attentive and accommodating, i cannot stress this enough, it's such a nice change for a popular restaurant! 💖

Our orders were also served in a timely fashion and everything was delicious. The servings were hefty and personally, i think one order is good for sharing! The savory options were as tasty as the sweet. The clear standouts from me would have to be their signature plates! The Indonesian and Dutch pancake specials were definitely something I've never had before.

If i would have to comment on something: the pancakes actually feel more like crepes with how think they were. This is not such a bad thing as it did complement the dish but it's not your typical thick pancakes!

I definitely recommend this place and i will surely return the next time im in Amsterdam again! 💖 Believe the hype, this...

We came around 11am on a Sunday so we JUST beat the rush apparently. As we were eating the place filled up with a line outside. It looks like it’s a tiny little space but it’s actually huge! Tons of seating though it’s packed in tight and quite dark with a moody feel. There’s a handful of tables outside so if you’re aiming for those, best come early!

Food was good although the bacon was burned a bit in spots and the eggs were way overcooked for what I requested. Great selection of food choices and pannenkoeken whether you prefer sweet or savory. The orange juice was fresh and delicious and the prices were reasonable for Amsterdam. The bread that came with the omelette was simply plain sliced sandwich bread with no butter, jam, etc. so if you’re expecting otherwise, just a fair warning so you’re not disappointed. Though the drinks, as others have noted, were pricey, that’s not exclusive to this place as everywhere in Amsterdam has expensive drinks, whether it’s a juice, soda, tea, coffee etc.

What stuck out to me the most was that the laminated menus were all sticky as were the tables. Not that something was left behind on them sticky, but that constant handling that leaves a thin film of grime sticky so I don’t believe they get wiped down thoroughly (tables), if at all (menus). That left me questioning what else might not be cleaned thoroughly.

Overall a decent experience and...
