Great experience. They were quick to point out what can be ordered gluten free—which is many of their pancakes. As usual, there is cross contamination risk, but it felt very safe and was delicious. Highly recommended.

Many options of pancakes. Did not get sick. Tasted alright but would have preferred it to be cooked a little longer. Definetly not the best.

Everything can be made gluten free as far as I could tell. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and food was excellent. Be aware that the pancakes are as large as a large dinner plate.

Staff wasn’t that knowledgeable about gluten outside the actual pancake but it tasted amazing! Got one with chocolate, ice cream, and whipped cream

Review
I’m gluten intolerant and I was a little bit disappointed by the taste of the gluten free savoury pancake. It’s made of buckwheat and it was fade, not tasteful enough. The flavour came only with the bacon. Besides that, the staff was really friendly and the place looks nice inside, especially in the evening because it’s underground and there’s no windows so for a lunch or breakfast I wouldn’t recommend (there’s no daylight inside). However there’s a terrasse for sunny days.
For celiac people : the waitress told me that they don’t cook GF food in separate spots so there might be crossed contaminations ! Be careful

Best pancakes I’ve ever had. All available gluten free. Staff knowledge about allergies and cross-contamination. Lovely location, sit outside or upstairs for a great view. Highly recommended.

The gluten free pancakes are ok but the gluten free poffertjes are not to be missed!! So delicious. Ask them to clean the cooking surfaces before otherwise they might forget.

Review
We waited an hour for our food to arrive during a busy period.
Anything can be made gluten free!
My savoury pancake was huge and a bit stodgy, owing to being entirely buckwheat flour.
Review
Delicious gluten-free poffertjes! Not sure if celiac friendly, but certainly intolerance friendly.
