General Info

Sytje was at one time a successful independent owner of four restaurants in Minneapolis. She took a holiday to Amsterdam to visit family and after experiencing the local cuisine, fell in love with Pannekoekens. She brought the recipe back home and added it as a new flavor to her menu. Thus became what we know today as Sytje's Pannekoeken Huis. Privately owned and operated since 1988, Pannekoeken Restaurant has brought made-to-order home style cuisine with friendly service to Rochester. Our unique specialty that differentiates ourselves is a delicious Dutch Pancake called Pannekoeken. Part of the Pannekouken experience is watching our staff rush the Pannekoeken out of the kitchen to you before it falls off the plate, yelling "Pannekoeken" to the delight of all. We serve our traditional apple Pannekeoken all year long and offer seasonal Pannekeokens like pumpkin, triple berry and fresh strawberry. Our special recipe pancakes taste their best when served with warm Maple syrup. Additional breakfast dining includes our delicious three egg omelets and mouth-watering waffles. Along with our fruit Pannekoekens, we also offer heartier options such as Pot Pies and Rotterdam Pannekoekens to complete your dining experience. Pannekoeken also provides a full lunch and dinner menu featuring our oven roasted turkey with skin on mash potatoes. If you are in the mood for chicken, we invite you to try our honey roasted chicken. We also cook up daily a roast beef and pork roast dinner and use the juices to make our own gravies just like at home. If time is short or you are just looking for a late night snack, feel free to stop in for our special coffee brew and one of our 18 different freshly baked muffins.
