About this spot
Candela serves massive, fluffy Dutch pancakes that are too big for one person, forcing you to split orders with a friend or family member. The batter is light and airy, perfectly complementing the house-made fruit compotes and warm syrup drizzled over the top.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a 'groot' (large) portion immediately if you plan to share, as the kitchen moves fast during peak hours.
- Ask for extra powdered sugar on the side; the standard dusting often isn't enough to tame the sweetness of the fruit toppings.
- Save room for the thick Dutch stroop syrup, which is sticky and requires a dedicated spoon rather than a fork.
