 The Pancake Bakery by MartinSelway
We saw big queues, and at first thought they were for this restaurant, but they were for the Anne Frank Museum. The Pancake Bakery is located in an old warehouse building right on the canal side. You step down into the restaurant, which does make it a little dark (they have a first floor with views over the canal, but were not using that - shame).
The interior is quite small and traditional, wooden seats and marble tables. A central gap runs down the restaurant with tables to the left and right. There is an open plan kitchen where you can see and hear the food being cooked.
The service was not the best. One of the waitresses seemed like she could hardly be bothered and when new people arrived she just gestured at a table to sit at - no welcome at all. This will obviously vary, dependant on who you get on the day.
The place seemed to stay busy for all the lunch period, and was just as busy when we left after 2pm as it had been when we arrived. There seemed to be just one person cooking the pancakes, so don't expect fast food.
Overall, a great place, and if you love pancakes, it's a must.
There is a massive selection of pancakes, over 70, so you should find one to suit. There are non-pancake starters such as soup (E 3.5), and garlic bread (E 2.25). Beer is E 2 for a small and E 2.25 for a regular.
I had the tomato, mushroom and onion pancake (E 9.25), and my wife the Masai pancake (E 11). They arrived on a giant sized plate and were certainly an impressive size. They tasted great as well.
On arrival I had decided which pancake I would have for desert, but the size of the first course was too much and so we had to pass. Other desert pancakes that passed us were piled high with cream and looked delicious. If sweet pancakes are your thing, you may be better off just having a starter or going straight to that, as you will have to be very hungry to manage two!

This restaurant is the best place to sample dutch pancakes. They are totally different than US style pancakes as they are made with a different batter and are much thinner, almost like crepes. They are served with an assortment of toppings. The pancakes are served on large plates as they are 12-14 inches in diameter. They are simply delicious. A variety of syrups are available as well.

 The Pancake Bakery by Rachael71
We had an Egyptian pancake, which contained marinated lamb and was just gorgeous, plus a salami and cheese pancake, which was also tasty. The pancakes are VERY filling - I was so full it was almost uncomfortable afterwards, and I had to do a lot of walking before I could even think about eating again!

The pancakes are large and crepe-like! My husband doesn't usually like pancakes or Greek food so he was going to sit it out while I ate my Greek pancake but he tried one bite and ended up eating half of my pancake both times we visited the restaurant! You can sit inside or out. And the experience was just as good the second time!
Liked the Greek Pancake because the lamb was seasoned nicely and there was a good sauce. The feta cheese was mild. and the pancake base lite and fluffy. Lots of veggies, meat and cheese made this perfect for brunch in between the Anne Frank museum (Also great. Don't miss the film and questions at the end of the tour) and a long walk through Jordan and down to Vondel Park.

As with many other Amsterdam restaurants and buildings in general, the very small size when facing it from the street made it at first seem like a hole-in-the-wall sort of place, but as we became accustomed to, was larger inside than expected due to the depth of the interior. Watch your head on the way out. I got my first of two noggin bumps there!
Some of the friendliest staff we encountered anywhere, and a very nice mix of other people both times we went.
We went expecting U.S. style flapjacks as pancakes. Wrong again, but pleasantly surprised once we tried them. More of a French style crepe, but delicious, very large, and with a mouth-watering variety of toppings. Also some very good omelettes.

The Pancake Bakery- For breakfast, lunch or dinner.
You can have whatever your heart desires in your pancake. Located in the basement of an refurbished wherehouse.
I chose a pancake filled with cheeses, sunflower seeds, mushrooms and green onion. It was too big to finish. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Prisengracht 19Other Contact: 625 13 33

Many different pancake choices, most you'd never think of mixing with pancakes. They also serve soups and other menu items.
Also try the Indonesian Rice Table- its a meal consisting of rice and about a dozen different dishes to go with the rice. An order is good for two people. Ask the waiter for assistance. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: A few blocks from Anne Frank Haus.
