8 hotspots for shopping, eating and drinking on the Pannekoekstraat

The Pannekoekstraat is a small street filled with cute boutiques, nice little restaurants and unique shops. Go shopping in ‘Rotterdam’s SoHo’ and be sure to visit these hotspots, selected by Inside Rotterdam!

Louen
A lovely little boutique tucked in amongst the bigger fashion shops on the Pannekoekstraat. Sells a streamlined collection that is a bit Danish and also a bit Dutch, as the owner also sells her own label.

Pantoufle
Making everything in life more beautiful… slow design is what Esther calls the things she has selected for her shop. Items like vintage lamps, linen shoppers, goat hair brooms, soap made in Korea, baskets, and pencils. Everything is made with care to last and give you years of pleasure.
Pannekoekstraat 97a

My Sin
Rotterdamโ€™s largest, woman-friendly, erotic lingerie shop. Sells burlesque and chic underwear, exciting evening wear, swim suits, and toys. Downstairs thereโ€™s a huge collection of games for โ€˜beginnersโ€™ and โ€˜advancedโ€™!

Tante Nel
Delux chip/frites shop with a big outside terrace. A hip snack bar with a traditional Dutch feel. You can get takeaways or sit in the bar and enjoy homemade beef casserole, a meat ball with truffle mayonnaise, or an organic frikandel (type of sausage) with a G&T. Or perhaps you would like to try chips with caviar!

Pix
In this pintxos bar (a Spanish concept) everything looks delectable. Just like the Spanish system, the colour of the skewers (pintxos) determines the price of the food. Warm tapas also available such as empanadas and grilled asparagus with camembert. Also gambas al ajillo (prawns) and patatas bravas (a potato dish) can be ordered from the kitchen that stays open beyond midnight! โ€˜Get Spanishโ€™ beverages on the drinks menu include Agua de Valencia and Sangria, which you can buy by the glass or litre.
Pannekoekstraat 76-78ย 

Lotus
Advertised as a โ€˜worldly magical spiritual shopโ€™. You wonโ€™t believe how many buddhas theyโ€™ve managed to squeeze into this little shop, including tiny models to take with you on your travels. The ownerโ€™s partner is on hand to talk about the meaning of the dreamweavers she sells. There are over 200 different incenses to choose from and you can also buy lovely handmade candles from Denmark that are โ€˜guaranteed not to drip.โ€™
