Nestled along the scenic banks of Amsterdam-Noord, The Amsterdam Pancake Boat offers a unique dining experience that combines the joy of Dutch pancakes with a delightful boat cruise. Imagine savoring fluffy, golden pancakes while gliding through the picturesque canals, surrounded by the vibrant sights of Amsterdam. This floating restaurant is not just about food; it's an adventure that caters to families, food lovers, and anyone seeking a memorable outing.

The experience begins at the NDSM Wharf, where guests embark on a charming boat that sets sail for a delightful journey. As you cruise along the water, the stunning views of Amsterdam's iconic landmarks unfold before your eyes, making it a feast for both the palate and the eyes.

The menu at The Amsterdam Pancake Boat is a pancake lover's dream, featuring a wide variety of toppings that cater to every taste. From classic options like powdered sugar and syrup to adventurous combinations such as bacon and apple or Nutella with strawberries, there’s something for everyone. Guests can enjoy the self-service pancake station, allowing them to customize their creations to their heart's content.

One standout dish is the traditional Dutch pannenkoeken, which are larger and thinner than American pancakes, providing a delightful texture that pairs perfectly with the fresh toppings. Another must-try is the seasonal special, which features local ingredients and flavors, ensuring that every visit offers something new and exciting.

The Amsterdam Pancake Boat is conveniently located at Ms. van Riemsdijkweg 33, making it easily accessible via a short ferry ride from Centraal Station. This prime location not only offers stunning views of the city but also places visitors near other attractions, such as the NDSM Wharf, known for its vibrant street art and cultural events.

After enjoying your pancake cruise, take some time to explore the nearby area, where you can find unique shops, art galleries, and beautiful parks, making for a perfect day out in Amsterdam.

What is the price for the pancake cruise?

 The cruise typically costs around 30 euros per person, which includes the pancake experience and the boat ride.

 Absolutely! The boat features a ball pit for kids and a variety of toppings that make pancake-making fun for the whole family.

 The Pancake Boat operates daily, but it's best to check their schedule for specific sailing times.

Whether you're a local or a traveler, this unique dining experience promises to be a highlight of your Amsterdam adventure. Enjoy the delicious pancakes, the stunning views, and the fun atmosphere that makes The Amsterdam Pancake Boat a must-visit destination.

Great brunch option! The Pancakes were delicious (need a better way to keep them warm). Toppings were plentiful. This is definitely geared towards families w/ children. The only downside is that the top of the boat was closed for eating. FYI, drinks are sold separately, so even if u pay in advance, you will pay one here. Also, there is an entertainment tax to be paid on board as well.

I went to the pannenkoeken boat when I was on vacation in the Netherlands back in June of 2024. I forgot to write a review but I will now.

This place was a lovely experience.  You get to have a wonderful boat trip on the river with good views of the various landmarks of Amsterdam. And at the same time,  you can have some yummy pannenkoeken (Dutch pancakes).

The pancakes themselves were self- service and there were a wide variety of toppings and condiments you can put on them.  The food was yummy but pancakes are pancakes lol.

That being said,  they were good pancakes.  I considered the real feature being having pancakes on a boat as you see the city so altogether it makes a fun experience!  Recommended for both the tour and having Dutch pancakes!

Wow just wow. You can eat pancakes at a lot of places in Amsterdam… but there are only a few places to eat them on a boat :)
Running at about 30 euro per person, this is not a cheap meal but when considering the price of a boat cruise and the quality and variety of food, it is an excellent deal.
Super touristy, super fun and super delicious.
The pancakes were awesome, the toppings were plentiful and the whole experience was very fun. We left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. I would definitely recommend this activity.
The location at NDSM is very easy to get to from Centraal Station (approx 15 min free ferry ride), and the graffiti art around the NDSM Werf is just something else. We had about 45 mins to kill before our cruise boarded and could have spent double that looking at more graffiti art.

Part way through the cruise the staff opens up a giant ball pit below deck and kids can play around in it which is super awesome for them. Also what kid wouldn’t want to choose their own toppings for their pancakes? I tell you, you’d never find our son’s pancake creation on a menu anywhere but he loved it :)

Fun experience with the kids, especially when they opened the ball pit halfway through the ride. Pancakes were yummy, nice selection of toppings. Coffee was not great…would suggest to get tea and get your coffee fix somewhere else.

It was a brilliant experience. The time flew by, the staff were amazing. The pancakes were cooked to perfection with a brilliant range of toppings. Perfectly reasonable drinks prices. The ball pit opened about halfway through and kept the kids entertained. Great soundtrack too!
