Frommer's Review

Located in a 17th-century canal warehouse, this two-story restaurant with winding staircases and exposed beams is a firm local favorite that serves some of the most delicious and unusual pancakes you'll ever taste. There are several dozen varieties, almost all of which make for a full meal. The satisfyingly large -- you might even find them heavy -- pancakes come adorned with all sorts of toppings, both sweet and spicy. Choices include salami and cheese, cheese and ginger, curried turkey with pineapple and raisins, honey nuts and whipped cream, and ice cream and advokaat (a Dutch eggnog-like cocktail). A bestseller is the American pancake: it comes topped with fried chicken, sweet corn, peppers, carrots, Cajun sauce, and salad. In summer, there's outdoor seating overlooking the canal, but beware: All the syrup, honey, and sugar tends to attract bees and hornets.
