Craziest Pancakes.

So we kept being told to make sure we eat the pancakes in Amsterdam. Famous? Tasty? Something of the sort. Before we left, my mom sent us the menu of the Pancake Bakery. We checked it out, thought it looked delicious and decided to try to find it if we had the time.

It took us awhile to figure out how to get there, and then even longer to actually get there, but finally, we arrived! There was a line out the door, but we had nowhere else to be, it being New Years Day and all. We stood, and waited, anxiously looking at the cozy warm tables filled with people and pancakes on the inside!

Then it was our turn to be seated. it was shared seating, meaning you could potentially have to sit with total strangers at your table (totally normal for Europe) but we lucked out and got our six top all to ourselves, with a perfect view of the flame bursting grill. The restaurant had two cooks and five burners turning out all the pancakes and omelets for the whole place, it was quite the well oiled machine to get all that food cranked out. We didn't even really wait long!

I had ordered the sweet route, the apples, raisins, and marasquin pancake. And this was by no means the sweetest way to go, they had a whole section of pancakes that came with ice cream! On the table, the maple syrup and powdered sugar weren't alone, they even had a carmel sauce for your entree.


Tim went salty with cheese, ham, and mushroom. It's not even possible to explain these pancakes. They were amazing. Nothing I have ever really had before, and I have had a LOT of food. Particularly in the breakfast arena, my favorite array of foods. Its not the typical American fluffy pancake, but more of a crepe in density and thickness, but your toppings are mixed in to the batter during the cooking. They drizzled batter, let it cook a bit, put in some toppings, drizzle more batter, more toppings, more drizzle, and voila! Amazing tastes explode in your mouth!
I'm a total chub-a-lub for talking about food so much. But really, what other reason is there to travel, but to eat? :)
