The Pancake Ship Leeuwarden

Nostalgia... on this incredibly cozy ship, you eat the best pancakes in Friesland!

As soon as you step inside our ship, you travel back in time. You find yourself in the hold of a 43-meter-long two-masted clipper. One of the largest clippers ever built in the Netherlands. 

You walk across the original plank floor to your table, and along the way you see old hatches and characteristic portholes on both the port and starboard sides, offering a view of the water. The ship exudes a true maritime atmosphere: as if it could sail away at any moment, heading out to the open sea. 

The only thing that is clearly different since the last time the ship sailed is the smell on board. While sailors used to regularly disembark with scurvy, now your mouth waters upon entering (figuratively speaking, of course!) as soon as the tempting aroma of freshly baked pancakes fills your nostrils. 

In this real family restaurant There is room for 135 guests. You can come for lunch or dinner, or take a canal cruise with a group on a whisper-quiet barge and come for pancakes afterwards.

There is a play corner, coloring pages, and plenty of surprise pancakes for the children, where they can choose for themselves what they want to become—Captain Hook, a pirate, or a princess, for example. In short: If you want a cozy and, above all, affordable meal out, you should definitely reserve a table. Just the two of you, the whole family, or why not... the whole extended family! 't Pannekoekschip... the family-friendly restaurant of Friesland! Capt'n Pancake welcomes you aboard!
