The Best Dutch Pancakes In Amsterdam

Dutch pancakes are most definitely one of the top foods that you should try during your visit to Amsterdam! Available in a variety of flavors, these thin pancakes are available all over the city.

Amsterdam Centraal Station has a lot to offer as far as food once you begin your venture into the city. Pancake Amsterdam is located just a few meters away from the station. This modern and cozy restaurant offers a great atmosphere and even better food. What better place to escape the snow and try Dutch pancakes for the first time?

Dutch pancakes are thin pancakes, usually with a variety of things mixed in them. There were what seemed to be countless options, but since we couldn’t just spend all day eating pancakes, decisions had to be made.

The bacon & cheese pancakes were an interesting change of pace that caught my eye. This dish is a traditional Dutch pancake with crispy bacon strips and Dutch grated cheese, giving you a perfect blend of salty and savory.

On the more sweet side of things was the pancake filled with bananas, with a side of whipped cream, caramel, and sea salt. Having these items on the side allows you to add just as much as you want!

 

The mandatory very steep stairs leading to the bathroom (as seen all over Amsterdam!)

These were all served with a bottle of sparkling water. Probably the most missed option once returning to America. The very relaxing atmosphere and delicious food will make you want to stay inside eating pancakes and watching the beautiful snow fall.

 

While there are undoubtedly many places that you can stop and get your pancake fill, Pancake Amsterdam not only had good food, but they also had very friendly service. We all know that this can mean a lot when visiting a new city (or country!)

  2. kagould17 – Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

    Love the Dutch pancakes. When we were in Amsterdam in 2016, we ate at de Vier Pilaren near Leidesplein on Singelgracht. The pancakes were delicious, but the poffertjes were to die for. Gotta go back. Allan

  4. stacyaldermanwriter – Pittsburgh – Well, hello! If you’ve stumbled upon my blog, you must be some form of Quirky, Confused, and/or Curvy, so welcome! And if you’ve stuck around long enough to read my bio and give me a follow, thanks!!! I’m Stacy, and I remember the exact moment in sixth grade when I realized I wanted to be a writer. I spent the next decade or so getting straight A’s in English, writing for my school newspaper, failing the SATs with epic splendor, and dropping out of community college thanks to depression and anxiety (among other things). I then completed two correspondence courses with The Institute of Children’s Literature and had a short story published by a local library. Sadly, the writing dream died in my twenties while I was trying to be a “real adult” by working real jobs that made me miserable, buying a house, and getting married to a guy named J who is just as goofy as I am. But happily I rediscovered my love for writing a few years ago and plunged head first back into the writing world in 2016. My excitement got the best of me and I self-published two novels that same year without doing any research whatsoever. I highly advise against such a thing unless you’re not easily embarrassed. I’m still navigating my way through these sometimes tumultuous waters, but I’m having fun most of the time and even managed to get a few articles published! (see my fancy portfolio page). I’m also hard at work on a contemporary women’s fiction novel, which I hope to publish traditionally sometime before I’m eighty. Quirky, Confused, and Curvy is all about being a sometimes strange, mixed up thirty-something woman navigating life and the writing world while living with anxiety. I also write occasionally about traveling, life as a curvy woman, and the mind-blowing state of my home country, who saw fit to elect the idiotic and quite orange version of Lord Voldemort as its president. When I’m not writing, I’m probably reading. And if I’m not doing either of those two things, I’m probably watching Penguins Hockey, or (thinking about) traveling. I currently work a 8-5 office job (and a PT cleaning job!) until my writing takes off, and I live with my husband and fur kid in a tiny suburb of Pittsburgh.

    I’ll have to remember this — friends of ours are moving to Tilburg, Holland in a few months and we are hoping to visit them hopefully sometime next year. Very excited at the prospect.
