Dutch Pancake Masters is exactly what you need for a day in the capital: a good base, with a touch of culture. The interior looks like a mini-Rijksmuseum; Van Gogh and Rembrandt on the walls, your pancake on a painter's palette. Kitsch? A little. Fun? Absolutely. You can find them at Damrak 44, and if the sun is shining even a little, chances are you'll find us on the terrace.

Naturally, the menu features the golden oldie (bacon, cheese, syrup, always a good choice), but also a thick one. stack American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup that leave you speechless. At least they understand one thing very well: a pancake doesn't have to be modest. The less modest, the better. Pancakes that lend themselves as dessert, lunch, and for everything beyond. The over-the-top creations are at least as fun. The master's special with fresh fruit, pastry cream, pink glaze, dark chocolate drops, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and fresh whipped cream. Wow.

The chocolate corner is also heavily featured: banana with Belgian chocolate and crunch, strawberries with chocolate and whipped cream, raspberry with white chocolate. Prefer something savory? You do you with, for example, the one with roasted chicken and hoisin sauce.
