    I went here because some friends recommended it. I had the banana pancakes with whipped cream, and the hot chocolate with the Baileys. Pancake sword tasty all by themselves, you didn't really need the syrup, which is great! The hot chocolate with the Baileys was an amazing drink and dessert! It also came with two huge marshmallows! It's also so very cute because the inside of the restaurant it feels like you are in an actual carousel. And the service was great my waitress was amazing! I would definitely go here again.

    I really enjoyed the vibe of the location. I went when it wasn't very busy and I got to see the city in motion/people watch through the almost 360 views. The staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese Pannenkoeken. Sweet and savory! It was delicious. I also got a macchiato which was nice as it was cold out. Not sure when I'll be back in Amsterdam but I will return here to get another pannenkoeken when I do.

    Ham, cheese, and pineapple pancake

    As soon as you walk in the door you're having a great experience as you decide on a table inside this former carousel along the canal. The menu offers a lot of options, especially focused on sweet and savory pancakes. Their pancakes are delicious and the Dutch style is between a crepe and a fluffy American style pancake. Since it is relatively thin but fills the entire plate it isn't an overwhelming undertaking to try to eat the whole thing. I enjoyed the savory pancake I had with ham and cheese plus a little sweetness from the pineapple. Topped with their syrup it really is a delightful experience. The little pancakes, or poffertjes, that my wife ordered were fluffy and delicious coin-size bites covered in powdered sugar, also delicious with a touch of syrup. Good selection of coffee drinks to accompany your pancakes or you can order from a variety of beers if you come by in the evening. Service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Nearby to the Heineken Experience and a canal cruise company.

    Delicious Dutch pancakes (poffertjes). I would come for that alone. The ambiance is also a cute diner vibe with a mini carousel inside. I imagine kids would love the vibe. The omelette and savory pancake we got was also solid and paired well with the poffertjes which are sweeter depending what you top them off with. They are not sweet alone. The poffertjes are nice and fluffy. The staff and service was great.

    You will visit many pancake places in Amsterdam, but De Carrousel Pannekoeken will be your most memorable. Plus you will be wearing the scent of pancakes and grease with you the rest of the day. I'm no connoisseur of pancakes, so I'd say the versions here are on par with the many other offerings in the city. The bacon is not the American variety of crispy goodness - it's basically thinly sliced ham. The poffertjes - yeah ok you dip these donut holes into grand marnier liqueur. Honestly nothing to recall as spectacular. But you will remember the carrousel. I mean, how cool is it to be sitting inside an old carrousel, next to the horsies, while eating a pancake. Plus it's in the middle of the city, so you get to watch all the people walk by. How cool is that? 3 stars for the food. 5 stars for ambiance and lightning fast service. Averages to 4.

    Ham cheese apple pancake, bacon cheese mushroom pancake
    Soojin J.

    Pancakes for dinner here is a must! We had three people and the pancakes are large so we got two pancakes: ham-cheese-apple and bacon-cheese-mushroom. We added syrup so it was an excellent sweet and savory meal, with a pancake texture that was light and crepe-y. We also got the poffertjes with butter, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. The fluffy texture was perfect and they made a delightful bite-sized dessert

    Hot Chocolate

    Definitely worth the hype. The poffertjes were a very Dutch and very memorable dish. We went in the late afternoon, after a museum visit, and didn't have any wait. Poffertjes - Grand Marnier & Whipped Cream: These were pure magic! Light fluffy orbs filled with so much flavor from the butter and sugar that you didn't need to add any syrup. They were the perfect texture of slightly crispy on the edges and pillow-y in the middle. The Grand Marnier for dipping was a brilliant option, infusing them with a subtle orange flavor and nice kick. I should totally use Grand Marnier on my pancakes at home! Pancakes - Apple, Cinnamon, Raisins, Butter: A single large thin pancake with apples and raisins baked in. The poffertjes were so delicious that anything else in comparison was held to a very high standard. I was fine with the texture, which was somewhere between a thick American pancake and a thin French crêpe. And I did like the flavor of the apple, cinnamon and raisins with whipped cream. However, I found the apple slices to be a bit too raw/firm. Would have been better if they were that nice stewed texture. Hot Chocolate: Extremely indulgent! Rich and creamy. And you can get even more cream with the whipped cream on the side. Plus the big marshmallows on the side make for a nice texture when they sit in the hot chocolate a bit and get gooey.

    I stopped by De Carrousel in Amsterdam for brunch recently. The restaurant has a really cute layout, which I assume is linked to the name. In terms of food, I tried their Carrousel pancake which seemed to have a bit of everything: Assortment of fruits, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream. The fruits were probably the highlight as they were all really fresh. The pancake was decent. Overall, it was comparable to other places (i.e. De Dutch) so I'd give it 8.3/10

    Large Cafe Latte (~€5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Large Cafe Latte (~€5) Carrousel Pancake (~€16) with Nutella (~€2): includes assorted fruit, ice cream, and whipped cream Aya's take: De Carrousel is a charming, rustic breakfast spot that feels like a diner with the amusement park theme with the carrousel inside. There's plenty of seating and once you seat yourself, your waiter will greet you. I decided to go with their signature Carrousel Pancake which had a little bit of everything. The Dutch pancake is much larger yet thinner than American pancakes (or any other pancakes I've had). It's very simple and almost used as a vehicle for the other toppings. I enjoyed most of the fruits provided but the addition of Nutella really elevated the dish for me. I didn't care for the ice cream or whipped cream which felt especially heavy for breakfast. The Cafe Latte was great and paired well with the Pancake. Highly recommend!

    My friend and I came by for breakfast before hitting up the Albert Cuyp Markt nearby. We arrived Monday morning around 10:15 am and there were still plenty of tables available. There's a sign to seat yourself, so we snagged a seat in front of the carousel inside. There's both patio and indoor seating. This place definitely caters to larger groups, as the smallest tables we saw were for 4 people. The decor is old school, and there's even a small carousel inside with lots of stringed lights that added to the restaurant's charm. They offer a variety of sweet and savory Dutch pancakes as well as poffertjes (mini pancakes), waffles, and omelets. We were here for the pancakes, so we each customized our own. I got a ham, egg, and mushroom pancake ($13), and my friend got the egg, cheese, mushroom, and onion pancake ($14.50). I've had Dutch pancakes before in other places, but usually they place the toppings on top of the pancake. Here, everything is cooked inside the pancake which makes it feel more integrated together. I really enjoyed my pancake, but I do wish they put a couple more ham slices in. There was plenty of mushroom but not enough ham imo. I tried a bite of my friend's pancake and they put SO much onions and mushrooms in, so I wish they were a bit more generous with the meat. Nevertheless, it was a solid meal and we both left stuffed.

    Cute little spot I ran into. I wanted to try a savory dutch pancake so I ordered one with mushroom bacon and cheese. It was pretty good. Diner type restaurant. Lots of menu options for sweet or savory Dutch pancakes. This would be a fun spot for kids or adults. Friendly servant and quick service.

    Carousel and ham and cheese
    Allison M.

    Of all the tourist traps in the city this one is probably the most precious. Our friend who lives in Amsterdam laughed a little bit at us for going here but I think you should add it to your list we knew it was gonna be pretty touristy before we went, but to be honest, the food was absolutely delightful and experience was wonderful from start to finish. The interior is such a delight. You're not allowed to play on the carousel pieces, but you can sit at American style diner booths all around and enjoy the aesthetic. We went around brunch on Monday, so it was definitely not busy The server was so friendly and generally happy to see we were enjoying ourselves We opted for some alcohol coffee. I got Jamison and it was wonderful. Really really good whipped cream, but that might just be Europe. We got the carousel special, but I probably would've gotten something different. I think that the whip cream and fruit was delightful, but I would've wanted to switch some thing out for some Nutella. It also came with ice cream on the side, which really kind of put us over the edge. It was really good soft serve but I kind of felt like I despised myself after eating that thing. Maybe with four people it would've been nice. Or just a Nutella Strawberry with whip cream would've been better. I also didn't really love the pineapple and oranges but the jam was great. We also got a savory ham and cheese. Combining the two was a great idea because just a sweet one would've been too much. Savory actually felt like a pretty good amount. These things are huge, but generally thin.

    Cheese, mushroom, and bacon pancake
    Matthew D.

    I came to Amsterdam for a work trip and this place was highly recommended by the locals. Their pancakes are the authentic Dutch version. I ordered a savory mushroom, cheese, and bacon pancake which was nothing short of delicious! The servers were English/tourist-friendly and had a unique carousel-themed interior decoration that gave a fun ambiance. Definitely come here if you are looking for authentic Dutch pancakes!

Busy lunch hours seemed to be dropping off around 13:30, about when I was there. It's possible there's an upstairs, but it was roped off on my visit. I decided to go with a unique combination, an unconventional choice, with the "Silence of the Lambs" burger, a patty made out of lamb, topped with goats cheese and sautéed onion. There was just one guy manning the register, and one lady cooking in the back. The first bite was divine, but towards the end I found it to mellow out to a rather neutral impression.

We realized this just be the difference between American beef and grass fed Dutch beef! And the potatoes were to die for! I do not typically like roasted potatoes, but these were perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked so they were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was spot on! When we walked in, there were not enough seats, but the staff took our order, and assured us that there would be seats by the time our food was ready. As soon as other patrons finished their meal, the staff called us in from outside to come and take our seats. Minutes later, our meal was delivered! They were so friendly and accommodating to us and made conversation. The vibe is very inviting and cozy. It is amazing that they were able to rotate all of the patrons in and out in an appropriate amount of time. I loved the music too! I am so glad we came here! It was a perfect end to our visit to Amsterdam!

I believe the level burgerdom at Ter Marsch is good quality - yet mediocre in taste. The bun is stale. At least mine was. I'm not sure if it was intended to be in that condition. The burger is thick and juicy, but lacking in the fresh beefiness that I wanted. What sets it apart is the aioli sauce - really top notch. The lettuce fell out. Shredded lettuce would have been better. The problem was the hockey puck burger sat high in the middle of the bun. When you bite into it, you get a mouthful of bun, and the hockey puck gushes out the side. If you bite into the hockey puck the rest of the ingredients gush out the side and down your hand, and you're left with disintegrated stale bun pieces. Sweet potato fries were ok, and the truffle sauce sent it over the top. But honestly, it's middle of the road in Southern California Burger Land.
