Food Style? Pancakes
Single diner privilege has come through for me and I skip past the queue of ten people to sit at the bar by myself. It’s a beautifully sunny day in Amsterdam, but it’s chilly outside and I definitely appreciate the warmth of this pancakery near my hotel. It’s got a lovely view of Amsterdam Centraal and it’s perfect for people watching. I’ve definitely been eating a lot of sweet things lately, and I feel like I should detox at some point in time, but today is not that day. 
The ginger lemon tea I’ve ordered is literally ginger and lemon in hot water. I don’t know what to think. But I get a mini stroopwafel on the side too!
Mains
Homemade apple crumble: with raisins and cinnamon
I’ve gone for the apple crumble pancakes, as the Dutch are famous for this dessert and I’m keen to have something that isn’t too sweet. It’s a large, thin pancake, slightly thicker than a crepe but nowhere as thick as an American pancake. But it’s light and fluffy, and tastes clean without feeling overly saturated with sugar. The crumble has a nice crunch and everything is well balanced. The menu suggestion was to have whipped cream but I don’t think that’s necessary at all.
