It is not the place for a quick bite, but more for a special occasion. The prices are not extremely high, but not of the lowest kind either, but the food is very refined and maybe they do not have a Michelin star, the atmosphere and care they put in the food and service gives you a bit the Michelin feeling, without being too formal. Just make sure to keep some space for the generous selection of sweets that comes with the various styles of coffee they offer.

Not the best coffee I had though. The service is a little slow but that's only because the staff spends most of the time socializing. Then again, so do the French........

Lekker. Decent. Good. A bit noisy, but that's to be expected in a children-oriented restaurant…read more As far as the pannenkoeken go, they had a wonderful selection of sweet and hearty ingredients, and my husband choose the salmon version. He enjoyed the combination of baked salmon, greens and a béchamel sauce. I tried the vegetarian goat cheese and walnut with rucola, which was very good; although how you could mess up those ingredients is beyond my comprehensive capabilities. It all comes down to the actual pannekoek: the fat crêpe, which the Dutchies formed into their own version. It is the same size as the French one, but much fatter and made without baking soda as in the American pancakes, because it is colder in the Netherlands (and less interesting on a culinary create-your-own-food level). The pannekoek itself was fine, not over- or under-cooked, and a good tasting flour mix. There was ample free parking after you wind your way through a subdivision. Outside a wonderfully large play area for kids to enjoy themselves in the summer months. Recommend this restaurant to drive a bit out of your way.

It's the perfect place to sit down and enjoy your freshly baked pancake. If you're lucky enough to have good weather you can also sit outside. It's a family friendly restaurant with a playground for the kids which can make it a noisy dining experience in the busy hours. There is little choice in starters but ofcourse this place is all about pancakes. You can select your own toppings and make the pancake to your own liking. If you don't want to bother with choosing toppings like me, you can just select a pancake from the menu. There any many to choose from. Even if you're one of those boring vegeterians...........

A star less than Bogart's in Apeldoorn. ~Edit, now I've…read moreeaten at Humprey's in Utrecht, I can knock another star off Amersfoort as Utrecht just falls short of Bogart's, but is still better than Amersfoort when it comes to service. Obviously this place has the same menu, same ambiance and is just basically the same restaurant. But as Martin R mentions, the servers fall a bit short of the concept. Whether inexperience or just a plain lack of interest, none of them really seemed to be doing their job right. Some even falling short of adequate. Making mistakes in a drink order and not paying enough attention to guests whilst making their rounds through the room. If you're checking up on your guests, really do that; pay attention, look around, see where someone might need something. A definite difference with Bogart's where the managers (which they actually have) circled the floor and every once in a while they came to ask if you were satisfied or still needed something. In my opinion this is what Humprey's Amersfoort needs: a manager. Someone to guide the young servers and to pick up on potential problems that guests might have. Though I must give credit where it is due, the girl that handled the bill did ask how I thought dinner was and also listened to what I told her. Hopefully she can at least run with that. Also, not sure if this was on purpose or due to the miscommunication, but we only had to pay for half of our drinks. I'm hoping that this was on purpose. Okay, now on to the positives because they are there and they are big positives. The food is great. As it is in every Humphrey's. The food is paired well and also cooked well. As an added bonus, Amersfoort is quite picturesque. I definitely recommend going for a stroll after dinner. Sadly, we had no time for this, but I'll be back for dinner here, even if it is only to have that evening stroll around the town.
