Climb some of Amsterdam's steepest stairs inside a 1539 building to reach this small-as-a-postage-stamp restaurant with 100-plus teapots hanging from the ceiling, portraits of the Dutch royals and paintings of old Amsterdam. Traditional Dutch pancakes here include bacon, cheese and ginger. It's a two-person show, so things happen at their own pace; opening hours can be erratic. Cash only.
