Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands
Het Panbos
A former dune-forest pancake institution in Katwijk aan Zee, Het Panbos is mid-transition under new ownership, guided by Dutch culinary figure Robert Kranenborg. The menu now reaches beyond its traditional roots toward seasonal Dutch ingredients with Asian inflections, placing a kimchi pancake alongside skrei with samphire mousse and hare stew with parsnip. The forest setting remains; the cooking ambitions have shifted considerably.
