This restaurant is somewhat unassuming and not directly on the most tourist trafficked streets of…read moreAmsterdam. As the morning clientele began to trickle in, this was reflected in the patrons who were distinctly local and seemed to have a lot of regulars. When creating the Yelp! Entry, their hours also reflected this, as it was basically 9am to about 8pm... or whenever they felt like closing earlier or later; it wasn't a set time. We tried the "Dutch Pancakes" with cheese and ham, which the waitress informed us was a very typical Netherlands pancake. It was quite thin (very much like a crepe), and the toppings fairly nice. I wouldn't call it spectacular, but - tourist alert - I haven't had enough of the local pancakes to make any overall evaluation of its authentic nature. Overall, it's a more than decent restaurant, has the advantage that it's open earlier than other "breakfast" places in the area, and the prices are reasonable.

Our Party of 3 were looking to try Dutch pancakes and since after noon, we keep ending up at places…read morethat had stopped serving them and so wandered to this place cause were super hungry. All the seats outside were taken so we sat inside and experience the lovely smell coming out of the kitchen above stairs. For drinks we got a fresh OJ, a cappuccino and a hot chocolate with whipped cream - all of us really enjoyed our drinks. You get charged more for hot chocolate with the whipped creme, but it was worth it. Service wasn't that quick but appreciate the fact that everything is cooked fresh and so that takes time. I didn't have any experience with Dutch pancakes and so had expected to have lemon rinds or something in mine, so was taken aback when saw the fresh lemon that a friend explained I had to squeeze over the Pancake - it really wasn't what I was expecting. There was also syrup and powdered sugar, so I could put add/ subtract that to my taste levels which I appreciated. All in all, the taste didn't blow me away or anything, so reckon it was a solid 3 for me and oh also really filling without feeling over-full. My other two dining companion's also rated their dishes a solid 3 - did the job of providing sustenance, but nothing really spectacular. Cost was €34 for the three of us, so not too bad price-wise but doubt if will return.

My friend had the Dutch pancake with Bacon & cheese wow, another delicious dish amazing pancake that dutch cheese is heaven, good bacon. only complain I have sort off is that it is cash only.. it's only a complain because not everyone carries cash these days so it can be an inconvenience. Small location, service is quick & prices are decent amazing pancakes & waffles really worth the try.

Easily one of the best pancake experiences I've ever had, although I don't really go out of my way…read moreto eat pancakes that often. The cool, and tough thing, about this place, is that you get to customize your pancake by choosing the toppings. I got a Dutch Pancake with Nutella, bananas, and cheesecake cream. In my opinion, it was incredibly good, but it was a little too sweet at times. The pancake was extremely fluffy, but also crispy on the edges. It went great with the Nutella alone, but also with all 3 of the toppings combined with the cheesecake cream giving that extra creamy touch. The bananas were also very ripe and tasty. I have a couple of recommendations from this place. First off, unless you are the ultimate sweet tooth, don't put too many sugary things on your pancake (like whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc..) - try to balance it out with a lot of fruits so that you will be eating a little healthier but also combating the accumulated sweetness. Also makes sure to spread out all of the toppings across the pancake before you start eating so that each bite has a mix of everything and is not dominated by one flavor. Overall, this is a fantastic place to go grab pancakes (they have other breakfast options too), but you just have to watch out a little for the sweetness.

We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. I was also able to connect to the WiFi from the Casino across the river. It was weak, but still worked. We were seated outside and waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our order for food and drinks. We ordered the banana crepe to share and I got a coffee while my wife ordered the pear juice. The pair juice comes from a bottle. The coffee was served in a small cup and was ok. I am used to drinking it with cream and sweetener. But Europeans don't have these items, so I just drank it with sugar. I think we waited almost 30 minutes before our food came out. Now, we only ordered crepes with bananas inside. Usually at the mall, it takes a few minutes to make crepes. I don't know how it took almost 30 minutes for them to make 1 item. Mind you, the place was not full when we came, so I don't understand how long we had to wait for our server to order our food and why it took so long for them to make our food. Once it finally came out, I thought the crepe was good, but not out of your mind fantastic. It's just basic tbh. Will I ever come back, probably not due to the wait time and the food wasn't all that great.

Before our tour of the Anne Frank House that evening, we were looking for a place to grab a quick…read morebite to eat. We stopped in at Roem as it was very close to the Anne Frank House, just across the canal, and the prices were quite reasonable -- there were numerous items for under €10, and many more for under €15. The menu was quite basic, but very extensive. The majority of the items were sandwiches and Dutch pancakes, and I had a BLT and my husband had a pastrami sandwich. Both were very tasty and filling, and the total bill was under €20. Roem is a great place for a filling and inexpensive meal.

We stopped in here for sandwiches and had a lovely meal. The skies were threatening rain, so we sat in doors and I ordered a yummy sandwich- Mine was chicken, tomato, Gorgonzola with a pesto mayo sauce on focaccia. Loved it! Hubby ordered a club sandwich and it was absolutely massive, really two sandwiches in reality. It was also served with fries and they were exceptionally good. We were able to just relax and enjoy the people watching on a busy Amsterdam day. We did not feel rushed at all and enjoyed our meal and bit of downtime before heading to the museum. Definitely worth a visit.

I want to start this review by saying that we arrived the moment the restaurant opened. It reminded…read moreme of an American diner. The cook and waitress that greeted us were some of the nicest people in Amsterdam. They had epic service. They also had a large menu with pancakes, crepes, and savory items. I opted for the English breakfast that included the protfettjes (Dutch mini pancakes). The mini pancakes were more on the colder side than I would have liked but to be fair I did wait until I finished the breakfast. I also tried beans. The beans are in this sweet tomato broth which threw me off. But it was surprisingly delicious. This set the precedence that I like beans on toast. the ham and eggs were good. I thought the sausage was a little undercooked. I didn't eat the spinach as I am allergic to it. I also opted for a chamomile tea as it was flying day. Overall, I would come back to try more items.

I tried some ham and cheese baguette and I think there's cheese was much thicker than the ham but I would definitely like more ham. In general this place has the carousel as the main attraction - it sort of reminds me of a cheaper version of Disney. Looks kind of touristy and old school. There's lots of seating and I think the host wasn't really there to seat us but there was a wait to be seated sign. We took a booth by the window. The service was extremely slow and the workers are definitely understaffed here and I don't understand why because there's outside and inside seating and there were only two workers for over 30/40 tables. The Dutch pancakes were the best thing on the menu but I think they just taste like hot cakes with sugar on top- so I didn't find anything super special to ever come back here again.

In search of a proper Dutch breakfast, we set our sights on some pannenkoeken (pancakes) and…read morediscovered far more than we had hoped for or expected. You see we had the good fortune of befriending Senna who volunteered to serve (in his words) as our "tour guide & waiter." When Senna asked if Dana preferred sweet or savory, she replied (in brilliant fashion), "How about both?" This prompted his face to light up as he told us he had the perfect recommendations. Following his lead we ordered the "Bacon, Apple, and Butter" Pannenkoeken and the "Mixed Fruit and Whipped Cream" Poffertjes. What's amazing to me is that about half way through our meal I noticed that the bottle of syrup on the table hadn't been touched (or even considered). I mean, how could syrup possibly enhance such a wonderful compliment of flavors? No, its inclusion simply wouldn't be tolerated! If you want to blaze your own trail at "De Carrousel" they offer more than 50 options to choose from and I'd recommend sharing a combination of pannenkoeken and poffertjes amongst your party. Be sure to make time to wander around the restaurant a bit. Not only are the center carrousel horses a unique touch, but the kitchen's close proximity to the dining area can make you feel as if you have a role in the preparation of the pannenkoeken and poffertjes! True to his word, Senna provided us with a handwritten, two-sided, list of recommendations that he divided into the categories of "Culture", "Restaurants", and "Date Night." And that's...Henry's Take. #pannenkoeken #poffertjes #dutchhospitality
