We were lucky to be able to dine in twice during our stay. Great service, quality ingredients, a wide variety of items - from pancakes, HUGE salads and entrees featuring local proteins. Call ahead for reservations, they book up quickly. Savory food last order is 8pm, but they serve dessert through 9pm. Beautiful, lovingly crafted food.

When I was doing my research about Dutch dishes to try while we visiting the Netherlands, I most…read morefrequently saw two things: kibbeling (fried fish) and poffertjes (tiny buckwheat pancakes). This stand is in Volendam, a village in North Holland where you can really see the Netherlands' waterway engineering (the residential canals and reservoir being completely differently levels while side by side) and a stop in our tour. It involved us taking a boat across the Markermeer lake/reservoir to get there and, when you buy a snack from this stand, it's the Markermeer you're looking over in the background. Our tour guides actually arranged for us to have some free time and then meet back up in front of Harbour Restaurant De Lunch, the restaurant across the pathway from Poffertjes. I hadn't realized that poffertjes were made on the spot like this in a way that vaguely reminds of takoyaki stalls. Truthfully, I'm more a waffles person and not as big of a fan of pancakes. But the small size and the hotplate they use give it the very slightest bit of crispiness that I really like. Be aware that poffertjes generally can be served a sweet OR a savory dish, the savory often being specifically with cheese. This cart focuses on making sweet poffertjes with your chosen fruits, chocolate sauces, whipped cream, marshmallows, and candy. Price depends on size of the box, the number of toppings, and reflects that it's in a major tourist footpath/area (it practically overlooks where the tour boats dock), but it's really only a few euros. The pancakes themselves aren't too sweet, and I REALLY liked them with the strawberries. I think they went perfectly together. Meanwhile, my parents really liked it with the blueberries. And in hindsight, the milk chocolate sauce (definitely a sauce, as it doesn't coagulate given time) was a bit too sweet for my taste. Still good, but if I were to get it against, I'd get it with just the fruit. Overall, I think this was fun and I'm glad to check something else off my list of things to try on this list. It's a real treat (kind of reminded me of egg waffles) and an easy thing to grab then either sit down (there are plenty of benches along this road) and enjoy the view or continue sightseeing with. Of course, if you get it with chocolate sauce, get a LOT of napkins. Further research says that (as long as they're not soaked through) they can be microwaved to be eaten hot later, and that supermarkets would also have mixes for poffertjes the same way you have boxed pancake or waffle mix. Another souvenir, if you're interested. And if you're walking along the street/coast here, I'd recommend trying it.

Decent seafood restaurant situated right by the harbour with super fast service…read more I ordered the Vismix (€19.50), which was a platter of mixed fried seafood, including calamari, fish, mussels, and prawns. The seafood was good but somewhat standard quality. It came with some dipping sauces, which added some nice flavor. I came with a day tour group and it was clear they were catering to people from the tour by making sure the service was super fast - I got my food within literally a matter of a few minutes. The place is decorated in a traditional Dutch seafront town kind of vibe. It was busy when I went although I was able to get seated right away (and clearly service speed was not an issue as all). The staff are fairly friendly too. Overall, the main selling point for this place is the fast service speed, especially if you are here for a quick visit to Volendam as part of a tour. The food is also decent enough to warrant a visit.

I asked for water with our drinks and got immediate attitude. "Water comes with the wine." Ok, fair enough. Ask for a second glass of water, ugly face with a harrumph.

I'm a New Englander, so I'm going to say meh.

I'm proud to say I've had crepes, (Belgian) waffles, and Stroopwaffles here…read more Not all at once, lol. Each time, my boyfriend and I shared. We did a savory crepe with ham, egg, and cheese. Also mayo but ew. Got that on the side for the boyfriend. Crepe was the right amount of thin and enough to hold everything without falling apart. The flavor of each ingredient was in every bite. We did a Kinder Bueno Belgian Waffle with ice cream, caramel sauce, and whipped topping. Sugar overload but OMWaffles was it good. So decadent and delish. On another visit we shared a traditional Stroopwaffle and it was pure joy. Would I visit again? What do you think? Y-E-S!

When we arrived and hiked upstairs, yes it's a hike straight up steep stairs, only to see the sign "fully booked" womp womp. HOWEVER, we asked if there was a waiting list because we didn't realize reservations are basically necessary. WE GOT LUCKY as a table was available because someone didn't show for their reservations!! We ordered the special of the day, blueberry & cream, and a bacon, cheese and apple pancake. Quickly cooked up and served and boy were they both delicious! I also didn't know it was a cash only establishment or debit card. Whom I presume was the owner was so sweet and again luckily our US credit card could be processed as debit. Saved me from having to do dish duty! Definitely a must do in Amsterdam but make a reservation and carry cash! Also to note, they only have 4 tables and if you're more than 5 minutes late for your reservation they may have given away your table!

I've actually eaten here before and loved it . . . but this visit didn't quite go as planned…read more I brought my daughter and her friend, who has a peanut allergy, and unfortunately we couldn't eat here because they make everything with peanut oil. That said . . . the food is delicious (from my last visit), and it's such a cute, unique little spot. They're known for having just 4 tables and a 12-person max, which makes it feel super intimate and cozy. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance . . . just skip it if you have a nut allergy!

The place only had a few customers, with a very nice patio right on the water--- great place we thought. There were only two waiters actually working. Our waiter didn't show up to our table until we asked to order when he passed by our table. We ordered. The food arrived in a timely manner and was quite good. Unfortunately, we didn't have any table wear. When we asked, the waiter brought two sets...there were four in our party. My friend's food arrived after mine. She didn't have table utensils. She had to wait for the waiter to pass again...this took several minutes. She requested table wear...it took him several minutes to bring. The service was very bad. We had to wait for our waiter to pass several times to ask for items that should have been on the table to begin with. After our meal, we went into the restaurant to use the facilities and were shocked to see the two waiters who were serving tables, along with 5 other young people (who appeared to be wait staff). The 5 young people who all had black t-shirts on, were seated at a large round table, drinking beers and generally enjoying the evening. This is sad that the service was so terrible and yet the food was actually quite good...

We were there the day after Kings day and it was a lovely morning. The weather was cool, but not cold and we were able to enjoy the nice breeze and canal boats passing by. I was also able to connect to the WiFi from the Casino across the river. It was weak, but still worked. We were seated outside and waited almost 10 minutes before anyone came by to take our order for food and drinks. We ordered the banana crepe to share and I got a coffee while my wife ordered the pear juice. The pair juice comes from a bottle. The coffee was served in a small cup and was ok. I am used to drinking it with cream and sweetener. But Europeans don't have these items, so I just drank it with sugar. I think we waited almost 30 minutes before our food came out. Now, we only ordered crepes with bananas inside. Usually at the mall, it takes a few minutes to make crepes. I don't know how it took almost 30 minutes for them to make 1 item. Mind you, the place was not full when we came, so I don't understand how long we had to wait for our server to order our food and why it took so long for them to make our food. Once it finally came out, I thought the crepe was good, but not out of your mind fantastic. It's just basic tbh. Will I ever come back, probably not due to the wait time and the food wasn't all that great.
