The place
The pannenkoek is the Dutch pancake: as big as a plate, thin and with the filling cooked into the batter, savoury or sweet. The Pancake Bakery has served it since 1973 in a 17th-century East India Company warehouse, on the Prinsengracht, with an open kitchen and, in summer, a terrace beside the canal. The menu runs to more than 75 combinations, and there are also breakfasts and other traditional dishes.
When to go
Open every day from 9:00 to 20:30 (Friday and Saturday until 21:00), so it works equally well for breakfast before the Anne Frank House, five minutes away, or for an off-hours meal with children. At midday and at weekends it fills up: book on its website.
What to order: a savoury bacon and cheese pannenkoek to share and a sweet apple one.
