I always have an internal struggle when I see pannekoeken on a menu. On one hand, I love Dutch pancakes,but on the other hand, I am also quite particular about how I like them. You see, I've been spoiled by one pancake house in particular in Rheden and every other pancake tends to be disappointing. The turmoil! Well, I decided to order a pancake with ham and cheese from De Smidse and hoped for the best. While not up to my pannekoek holy grail status, it was still a good pancake, if a touch on the thin side.
My dining companion had the special burger and I thought it looked meh, but I'm particular about burgers (yeah, I'm particular about a lot of things, why do you think I'm yelping?).
Service was very friendly, though kind of slow. I waffle between 3-4 stars, but since my pancake was not a complete disappointment, 4 stars it is! read more
