My Old Dutch - Holborn in Camden

Impressive selection of vegan options, offering both sweet and savory pancakes that are genuinely delicious. The Instagram-worthy interior with its stylish decor makes dining here a feast for both stomach and social media. Their drink game is strong too – from fresh smoothies to creamy milkshakes, you're spoiled for choice. While there's no vegan options on the kids' menu, the generous adult portions are perfect for sharing. Overall, it's a solid spot for vegans looking to indulge in pancake goodness, with great vibes to match.

The place is sublime, the food is very good and the prices are fair.

I came here on a Tuesday with three other friends, making it a table of 4. Halfway my seafood savoury pancake, I felt like I was grinding something really hard between my teeth and when I took it out of my mouth it looked like a staple!!!! I digged through the pancake and 2 more metallic bits were there! I felt mortified for them, but actually there was no need, because I told a staff member and they couldn't care less. I didn't eat anything else, I wasn't offered a new pancake, nor a complimented half pancake, so I paid my share and promised to myself to NEVER return.

They call them pancakes, however, they're more like crepes. Absolutely delicious! We shared 3 for 5 of us and it was plenty of food. Reasonable prices for London (not the rest of the world). The staff were exceptional!

A wide variety of pancakes. Sweet and savoury. Service was friendly as well and the decoration is really nice

The moment you step in you are greeted with beautiful interior! The pancakes are huge and they are generous with the toppings. Also was surprisingly pleased with the Monday deal! 😋 Will definitely be returning to try their poffertjes! I had the smoked salmon and mushroom pancake which was good, but I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. Overall still a good experience 👍🏼

Swanky and nice pancake place which we've always wanted to try in the area. Whilst the pancakes we ordered were fluffy, tender, delicious and freshly prepared, we thought the staff came across a bit cold and could be more warm, accommodating and personable (we were deciding what to order and the server didn't seem too friendly from the wait). Nonethelees, we enjoyed our light, sweet treat topup but would've appreciated better customer service.

Delicious pancakes and great friendly service. The pancake portions are big and have a great amount of sides/ filling. The atmosphere and the decor is great. They havemade an effort on that area aswell. Both my spouse and I enjoyed the pancakes and would recommend visiting this place if you have the chance. The kinder bueno milkshake weas authentic and delicious too.

Delicious pancaki, large portions and very friendly service

Staff didn't seem too excited about anything really, the atmosphere isn't great, the place tries to be something between an American diner and some trendy place but doesn't really achieve anything of that. The food on the other hand is really good. Vegan options are plenty, the sweet ones are great. the savory options have the downside of there not being tasty vegan cheese at all, but that in mind they're great.

Abel MacGregor aka mac manix dj or dj abel.... went to the my old Dutch earlier this year the food was rubbish it was like party food my vegan crêpe was very tasteless my milkshake was too thick chicken wings starter tasted like very bad KFC please sort it out this is not how it used to taste before Covid after Covid it's got worse too expensive and tasteless I have tried this and other places around the UK and they taste better nice staff that served me but terrible chef And tasteless ingredients It was like having a large cheese on toast I would've enjoyed that if it was what it was

Wonderful classic pancakes 🥞 can’t go wrong 😊

I was going for a waffle but I saw a pancake being served and I craved it. It tastes good, the size is more than correct. But the price is quite expensive, it was €22 in total adding 2 fruits and they even charge for an optional service (which is NOTHING optional) since they integrate it into the bill and give you the dataphone so you can pay without much choice.

Taste was zero! Had to add lots of salt and pepper to be able to eat this dish.

Stopped in here for a quick brunch before visiting the British Museum. Tried the smoked salmon and scrambled egg pancakes as well as the Eggs Florentine with smoked salmon pancakes. Really impressive portion size with generous helpings of eggs and smoked salmon. The pancakes were delicious. I can’t wait to come back and try some more options. I also tried the autumn specials - Gingerbread Latte and Pumpkin Spice Latte, and they left me feeling so warm and cozy on a cold, cold morning.

Really lovely experience. I take the boys here as a reward for doing well at school. They went out of their way to make it a special experience for us and even giving us a lovely special table really wowing the boys. Great pancakes and super service. Thank you. We will see you again later in the year.

The restaurant is cute, and the buttermilk pancakes are great. However, the crepes are quite awful, undercooked and too thick. The ham and cheese crepe has barely any ham, and the cheese is flavourless. It is like eating plastic. You can tell the ingredients aren’t of good quality. It pains me, especially as a French person.

The food was nice. The pancakes were not what I thought they would be but they tasted really nice. The ambiance was amazing!

I came here for a birthday party. Positively, the service was attentive and friendly. The food itself was overpriced and tasted okay. I ordered the salmon and mushroom pancake which was risky given how tempting the sweet options were. The pancake tasted good but there was almost a packet of mushrooms in there. I would have preferred lower prices and more reasonable portion size. If you are looking for a really big pancake, you will get it here, I’m just not sure it is worth every bite.

Haven’t been here for over 10 years and boy have I missed this place food qualities the same and the service is still 10/10 can’t believe I wanted 10years to go back

Best pancake breakfast place. Tradition to go on Mondays after NFL London.

The best pancake place in the world! They are fresh delicious and the staff are so kind and helpful. This is my fav place by far. Thanks for being amazing!

Didn’t expect the pancakes we ordered to be this huge but wow they were sooo delicious and pricing is great as well! The staff are lovely too ☺️

Great Pancakes, friendly welcoming staff.

Cozy place with delicious and huge pancakes))

I had an early dinner at My Old Dutch Pancake House. I enjoyed my Apple & Cinnamon Pancake with three scoops of vanilla ice cream. There is a large variety of pancake options, both sweet and savoury.

Very nice restaurant with super delicious pancakes and poffertjes. Service was very nice and quick. The selection was large and the food came very quickly, even though the store was really full. The quantity and taste were also great. A real recommendation.

Had a really nice lunch earlier today. Pancake was so good (salmon and mushroom) would love to have it again but unfortunately I cannot as Chris Brown’s music was played and I had to leave and never return. P.s. i will miss you.

Food quality was fair but the environment was 💯! Good for photo shooting.

Great place to visit. They offer sweet and savoury pancakes and waffles. Ordered a stack of pancakes with berries and cream. Delicious! Staff was attentive and very welcoming. The atmosphere is nice too, lots of seating on two floors.

Great place to have pancakes. We loved their build your own pancakes and portions are good. Ambiance is great and you would definitely enjoy if you have good company.

Good atmosphere but wasn’t tasty as it was years ago

Loved my smoked duck savoury pancake

The space around the last table is a bit too narrow to comfortably sit, but the food is very nice and the service is fast and good. Be sure to make a reservation, because in the weekends it is always full.

lovely pancakes. everything is good except for the radam staff(a man with black beard?) being so rude and indifferent to the customers.

The restaurant has elegant seating and the food is very delicious (the waffles are legendary). It is worth a try.

Nice to look at but not very satisfactory for the price

It was truly delicious, loved every bite!

Super evil Pancake shop There are so many matching options, so evil to the extreme My friend even ordered me a super sweet milkshake It’s really a sin⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ The average consumption per person is about 20 pounds. If you are a dessert lover, don’t miss this place.

Nothing special. And the service was a bit slow. Edit: for some reason I went back and the food was very bad. And the gents toilet was in a very poor state of repair.

I have been a fan for years my nan has taken me since I was little and I have started the same tradition with my children unfortunately our last visit left a lot to be desired! Poor service I asked for cutlery 3 times pancake was not cooked properly order wasn’t taken properly as they didn’t follow instructions ie no onion onion all over the plate no cooked fruit cooked fruit arrived on the plate and then when we had the cheek to ask for more drinks we had to ask 5 times and was presented with the bill instead of the drinks when I explained I wasn’t ready for the bill and wanted drinks it took another 15 mins there was a heavy presence of male servers which were more interested in flirting with certain tables than serving all the tables we weren’t the only people disappointed in our experience I’d like to add when we went they were not that busy and had enough time to talk about customers in a grotesque way I would definitely think twice before going back

It’s good good and the atmosphere is fanstasic give it try

service is good but the food the price its a tourist trap use golden syrup instead of maple and the lie to you like ur stupid lol tiny portions 15 quid for small pancakes plus service charge would not come back

OMG we had the best vegan crepes! Food was so innovative and exciting.

The service was great but I hated how the good was served. I ordered Tricolore. The crepe tasted good and was well-prepared. If the fresh spring was replaced by crispy onion garnish The coffee was disappointing.

It is a good place to enjoy some good pancakes or pancakes. Of course, nothing cheap. The price for a plate of pancakes with fruit is around GBP 15). With drink, about GBP 20/pax. IMPORTANT: They charge 12.5% ​​as an "optional charge", which is hardly optional, especially when the waiter barely gives you time to check the bill before putting the card in front of you. It seems excessive and in very bad taste to me. If it is optional, it should really be the diners who decide and not automatically include it by default, nor let them choose the amount of the tip. It wouldn't be much to me if at least the service and attention were especially good, but during the time we were there, we saw how the staff were together in a playpen chatting animatedly among themselves.

Love this place and well worth a visit.

I love My Old Dutch! It is my go to brunch spot in London. With a range of options and dietary requirements. You get a massive amount of food for what you pay. Love love love

Defo go there if your in London

Friendly staff Great choice on food

We went there to have brunch as it was my son’s 9th birthday and although I have been there a few years ago, quality has stayed the same. Both my kids loved it so much and so did I, my son actually loved it so much that he insisted I left a review.

Excellent food and drink at fair prices for London. Friendly service in an airy and clean restaurant.

Food was ok and portions generous. Unfortunately waiting staff did not understand their own menu. When asking for a gin and tonic was told not on the menu. When I pointed it out I was brought a glass of neat gin and no tonic. When challenging the waiter for the tonic he stated they do not have any and it was sent back. Generally staff seemed confused and unfamiliar with their role

Lovely range of pancakes, sweet and savoury with halal and vegan options. Good portion sizes and excellent service from the staff.

Loved it. I’d especially recommend the Amsterdammer. The pancakes are big but surprisingly light so I didn’t feel poorly afterwards and I had 2x 15 inch ones!

Pancakes or crepes, sweet or savory, something for everyone.

Breakfast of pancakes and shakes goods. Courteous and attentive service. In a somewhat crowded and noisy atmosphere.

Had breakfast here today before a theatre visit. Lucky we booked as was really busy but the service was really good. Food was really nice and bought out in good time. will be back again.

Great place to go to in group, in order to share multiple kinds of pancakes. 🤤 It was very filling and the food coma lasted for a bit. Only thing is that more than pancakes they're crepes haha. The staff was very kind! I would definitely go again for the good price offer on Mondays😉

The mini dutch pancakes where delicious and filling. I was happy that I could choose my own toppings where were chopped nuts, ice cream, Nutella and cinnamon dusting. The great thing is they have Halal options. However, I found that the cutlery were dirty and when I went to get one from another table they were dirty too.

The pancakes were quite good, we really enjoyed it. But I think the price is too high. The waiters were annoying and interrupted our conversation every 5 minutes during lunch. Also, there was an optional service charge on the check. However, the waiter brought the terminal for payment so quickly that I didn't have time to look at the check properly. I paid with my card, and the waiter and the terminal did not give me a choice about the service charge - it was just automatically included. It didn't feel quite honest to me. As tips are not usually provided here, it looked like an attempt to get extra 5 pounds. I noticed this extra charge only after I paid and decided not to make a big deal out of it.

Never expected it to taste so good.

Gorgeous pancake restaurant!! Amazing pancakes!

All round great experience. Not to be missed. Will recommend to friends and family

Went here ages ago and returned with a friend for nostalgic reasons. Food was average, but it is what it is - pancakes with toppings. Bit pricey hence the various special offers/discounts. Overall for a quick bite and makes a change from a pizza or burger as regards fast food.

Real friendly and happy staff who serve a wide selection of big sweet and savoury pancakes, plus other products at reasonable prices. Ground floor and basement space accommodates many customers and, since it is so popular, best to book if you do not want to queue outside the premises. Tables are fairly close together so not a venue for cosy, quiet conversations!

They have vegan and gluten-free options. The decoration is very nice and the service is friendly. The only problem is that we ordered pancakes and they served us crepes.

Dinner was lovely didn't have to wait too long although they were busy

I come here often and I love the food so much the portions are great and the workers are even greater. They’re super nice and welcoming, Daniella especially was very sweet and accommodating today.

It's a pretty place located in Holborn. I went with my friends and had a good time drinking sweet juice~~ This is a place I want to recommend~ The only downside is that the bathroom smells.

Totally disappointed. The food was terible. They cooked the cake horrible. It was unriped

The food and drinks were really great and the staff were extremely nice and helped navigate the menu. The inside was really well-decorated and welcoming. Would absolutely come back. Thanks!

Great service and really quick, too! Great pick-me-up, especially being out of the cramped too-touristy area of London!

What's happened to the lovely delft ware plates? I have been coming here with girlfriends and wives since 1981. Always ordered a My Old Dutch pancake, sadly this offering was sparse on peppers. Well that was the only downside. Wife No3 and grandson's loved the place, including the plastic plates. It's not put me off and we will be coming back again.

We became aware of this location completely by chance. The first impression and the friendly staff made our stay sweeter. To be honest, I've eaten pancakes that tasted better, but the friendly staff and the cute location deserve 5 stars. Gladly again!

Cheerful venue with bold neon signs and bright colours that match the energy of the food! Great dietary options and generous portion size!

Arrived at this restaurant at midday for lunch. Google says it opens 10.00 till 20.00. It was completely locked up, not a sign of a person. I think it has gone out of business.

Wanted to come to this restaurant for years. Finally visited with my family and my god the pancakes are delicious. So filling and catering for whole family. Everyone else in the resturant made me jealous. Wanted to taste them all!

Can’t say I really recommend this place much. I enjoyed the nachos and fries, however the cheese sauce didn’t have much flavor but was enjoyable nonetheless. I found the sides better than the pancakes themselves. I had the American style pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon and it was quite tasteless. The bacon didn’t taste of much, the eggs were undercooked and the pancakes were also tasteless. Perhaps they just lack in the American pancake area. But it was £17 for that and didn’t feel deserved at all, I’ve had much better for £5 and even better when I make them myself at home. Service was great and the servers were nice. Atmosphere and overall appearance of the place is gorgeous.

Very family and kid orientated great for families. The pancake I had seemed to lack creativity. It had chicken tenders on it with fried onions and cheese. I feel like it’s something I could have made at home.

I recently visited My Old Dutch Pancake House and had a delightful experience. We tried their crepe-style pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious, with a perfect blend of texture and flavor. The menu offers a wide variety of sweet and savory options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty and satisfying meal!

The pancake and the coffee were amazing , i ordered classic pancakes with Americano & cappuccino. Highly recommended

Don't make a mistake and ask for pancakes which are good, watch out for average pancakes.

We ordered 2 “pancakes” which were actually just large pancakes. I chose a pear-chocolate “pancake”: the pears were not ripe and the filling was very light. Very bad and not worth the price (around €9 per “pancake”) Also pay attention to the “additional service” which is optional!

Been here a few times now, always great atmosphere, staff friendly and so many options 😍🥞

This is my 1st time I’ve visited The Old Dutch. It’s a real delicious treats for adults and kids. The menu is wide variety of foods, the staff are friendly! The place is very-cute 🥰 The portions are huge 😰😍 Whether you want a full English or traditional pancakes visit this place.

Gorgeous food. Great service. Reasonably priced.

I wasn't expecting such big portions! I could barely finish it! Still, manageable... The fruits and the cream were fresh and tasty. The environment slightly resembles the pancake shops I found in the Netherlands, colourful and with flowers.

Firstly, by pancakes, they mean crêpes. The butterscotch pancakes are the actual American style pancakes. I got a savory “pancake” and it was surprisingly filling. I wouldn’t say it was worth £15 though. Perhaps location allows them to upcharge? The servers really seemed to rush you to order and get out of there. So why such a negative review if the food was good? On the receipt there is an optional service charge. However, your server brings the card reader over so quickly, you don’t think to look over your receipt. I paid with card and not once did my server or the handheld payment device ask to add this charge, it was done so automatically. That is dishonest. Tipping isn’t customary here, so that really was just a scheme for more money. I didn’t notice this charge until after I’d paid and didn’t want to fuss over it. However, it did leave a sour taste in my mouth. I don’t think I’d come back.

The food wasn’t good tbh. The eggs were dry, the bacon was dry too. The pancakes were good. But the combo made me not want to go back. Hence the 2/5

Loved the decor and the food! Staff were polite, prompt and friendly 💕 will visit again!

This is a hidden gem in London, pancakes the size of my head, the taste is amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great place to eat in London.

I went here last weekend and I had the cookies and cream pancakes and they were really good but a bit sickening so I couldn't eat them all😓 The food was very tasty though and theh have a wide selection of breakfasts.

"Pancakes" are not pancakes as they are razor thin crepes. The whole "dutch pancake" is a misrepresentation as the dish that we ordered was not a pancake by no stretch of the imagination. Even for a european crepe, what we got was way too thin. Service was great and the staff was hospitable.

Always good food. We were sat outside of the main dining room this time right next to the door. Having the door open all the time and being watched whilst you eat by people queuing for a table right next to you wasn’t the nicest thing. Felt like a zoo animal 😂

We used to visit this restaurant many years ago when in the area, but a few years ago the quality went down. However it is now under new management and though we miss the lovely blue delft plates, the pancakes are very good, and there is a huge variety of sweet and savoury. We have been tgere twice recently once in March and once in June 2024 . When we came in March we both had Asparagus which had asparagus, creamed spinach, black olives, red onions, mushrooms & cheese. When we came in June one of us had Asparagus and the other Seafood which had prawns, tuna, olives, cheese with tomato sauce (can be served with anchovies & capers). For our dessert pancake we chose in March the makei it yourself pancake - a base with extyra toppings , one of us had banana and maple, and the other compote of berries. In June one of us had apple cinnamon and the other a do it yourself of the small stack of pancakes with maple and strawberries. We did not wait long to be served and the food is very good

Amazing pancakes with great customer service. Highly recommend

It's not the so-called pancakes that we're used to eating, but a crepe in our sense. I don't care what the name is, it's ok because it was delicious. I had never eaten a crepe with fries or soft salami, so it was a new sensation. I ordered the pear and cinnamon cream and ate half of each, and it was just right.

Nothing Dutch here, especially not the music, sounded Latino! Worst pancake ever, was raw and slimey with burn edges.

Petit-déjeuner à deux (un salé et un sucrerie) suffisent avec la portions immense servie. Crêpes plus que pancakes, mais c’est reste excellent.
