www.pannekoeken-mn.comThe Dutch version of the Pancake House, Pannekoeken Huis is the best place to grab a traditional pannekoeken with a side of hash browns anytime of the day. The pannekoeken is a Dutch pancake filled with fruit, ice cream, meat or whatever your heart desires. These delicious treats can be gobbled down all day, served from an ongoing breakfast menu. While breakfast is the highlight of this family-owned gem, there are some lunch and dinner options if you are dining with a traditional type of restaurant-goer. However, breakfast is highly recommended and passing on the pannekoekens would be a big mistake.
