Review of Pancakes Amsterdam

Solid breakfast/brunch spot in the Jordaan district. Got there right as they opened at 9:00 AM and saw the kitchen only had three pans working, so I fully expect tons of cross-contamination if you’re not the first order of the day.

Because we were the first people there, I comfortably ordered a gluten-free apples/bacon Dutch pancake (which was marked with a little Dutch flag) and had no adverse reactions. I don’t think I would have felt as safe had there been a huge rush of people. I also assume that the pan probably wasn’t totally clean/free of gluten traces, so YMMV

Separate gluten-free menu for Dutch pancakes (made with buckwheat flour) and the selection is fairly good. Prices are a bit high compared to other places in town but service was quick and flavors were good enough to make it worth it
