Pancake restaurant ‘De Kraai’
Enjoy delicious pancakes in this original wooden warehouse with a beautiful old ‘smuiger’ (tiled fireplace) and tile tableaux…
Warehouse ‘De Kraai’ (The Crow) is located at Kraaiepad 1, close to the Zaanse Schans parking lot/entrance. The restaurant takes its name from former oil mill ‘De Bonte Kraai’ (The Hooded Crow) from 18th century Wormerveer. The warehouse has a rich past as an oil mill, flour mill and granary, and has been relocated a number of times. Nowadays, it is a restaurant specializing in pancakes.
If you’re looking for authentic Dutch pancakes, then you simply can’t go past ‘De Kraai’ without giving its extensive menu of sweet and savory pancake treats a try! The menu also includes a variety of other delicious options, such as sandwiches, salads, soups, various coffees and teas and a mouthwatering pastry selection. This large ‘warehouse’ can accommodate up to two hundred people and can host gatherings outside of the usual opening hours for receptions and weddings.
