Pannenkoekenboot (Pancake Boat)

All aboard for a truly Dutch delight! The Pannenkoekenboot, or Pancake Boat, offers an all-you-can-eat pancake cruise from the NDSM wharf in Noord. It's an experience that perfectly blends sightseeing with a satisfying meal, as you glide along the waters of the IJ, taking in the unique Amsterdam waterfront from a fresh perspective. Kids will be absolutely thrilled, not just by the prospect of endless pancakes with all the toppings, but also by the excitement of a boat trip itself.

For parents, it's a wonderfully relaxed outing. The pressure of finding a child-friendly restaurant is off, as the Pannenkoekenboot is designed with little ones in mind. On certain sailings, there's even a dedicated play area on board, providing an extra layer of entertainment that keeps younger guests happily occupied while adults can savour their meal and the views. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that works well on any day, rain or shine, offering a cosy escape from the elements or a breezy ride on a sunny afternoon.

Booking ahead is highly recommended, especially if you're planning a weekend visit or during school holidays, as this popular attraction fills up quickly. It's a fantastic option for lunch or an early dinner, providing a memorable and authentically Amsterdam experience that combines fun, food, and scenic beauty in one delightful package. The relaxed vibe and continuous stream of pancakes make it a stress-free outing for the whole family.
