    Very spacious restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is decorated like a carnival stall while outside you can enjoy a pancake by the canals. The crepes are enormous and very tasty. I would recommend adding extra chicken only for the hungriest of guests. Service was very friendly. Washrooms left more to be desired though.

    So my friend from Germany who frequent Netherlands introduced this place to me. She said it’s a must visit. Indeed I think so. The food is tasty, the ambience is scenic (along the river). However we only managed to get a seat indoor due to the rain. Overall I would still recommend it if you want to try on authentic Dutch pancakes.

    Location aside the river and continent for customers to order with electrical menu. Also had English menu and close when sold out. Offer free toilet and wonderful view to enjoy coffee break, most recomand of strawberry with small pancake. Soft, juicy and not to sweaty.

    Great place to have early or late breakfast. Food was amazingly delicious and fresh. This is a must try location. Staff very friendly and great view of the boats cruising through the canals. Loved the food and location.

    We came here for late breakfast aka brunch, and food was so good and so plentiful, that I won't be hungry until late evening, feels like. Chicken&veggies pancake has had a lot of topping on it, more than expected. I couldn't even finish the whole thing in the end. Latte was properly made and very tasty. Small pancakes were fluffy and tender, now I need the recipe! Staff was friendly, they offered a high chair for our son, too.

    Nice location and coffee. The poffertjes were very good, but also very sweet and with melted butter on the bottom. If you have no problem with that you will love it, but if you want a lighter version you might consider another place, or at least a not-so-sweet order (we had the big portion with white chocolate - 20pcs for 11€).

    Delicious pancake with bacon and cheese and the classic Poffertjes. Perfect location to sit close to the water and friendly team! Normal prices for Amstersdam

  • 5/5 Erin R. 4 years ago on Google
    Yep, visit here for sure. Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and I think the prices are reasonable in comparison to some terrible overpriced food in the city here. Also the drinks weren’t a rip off and the sparkling water was well priced. Had poffertjes with ice cream, cream and strawberries. Strawberries were delicious, little pancakes were fresh and melted in your mouth. Staff were really accommodating, friendly with a good vibe.

    Delicious mini pancakes and very funny/friendly staff! They laughed at me when I requested bacon with my pancakes, it got me worried so I backed out. My friend ended up ordering it, and the bacon was not cooked to be crispy, so best avoid it as they don't do it american style. Still, food was delicious, and had a great laugh with them.

    The food was great! The service could have been better. They were too busy sucking helium from a balloon and laughing about their voices. I would have ordered more drinks but they never came by until we were ready to leave.

    Delicious and fairly priced. We got the ham and cheese pancake and the poffertjes. So good! The coffee is also quite strong. They have both outdoor and indoor seatings. Stop by when you get a chance!

    Absolutely the best "poffertjes" in Amsterdam. Super yummy, friendly staff and a great selection for breakfast, brunch, lunch, perhaps even dinner. Also great to grab a bite before going into the city.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
