Upstairs Pannenkoekenhuis
What the experts agree on
Dutch pancakes done right in a charming upstairs nook—sweet or savory, all delicious and affordable. Service moves at its own pace, but the quirky Red Light District vibe and consistently hot Earl Grey make it worth the wait.
“Come here for your required serving of Dutch pannenkoeken while in Amsterdam, all served in an incredibly charming atmosphere.”
