Best pancake houses in Amsterdam | I amsterdam The Pancake Bakery. We can’t remember a world before The Pancake Bakery and, frankly, we don’t want to.The ever popular restaurant in the heart of the canal ring has been flipping pancakes since time began (ok, 1973) and shows no sign of slowing down ever, with a fiercely loyal crowd of locals and visitors who queue daily outside the 17 th century building to sample the goods.
