My Old Dutch - Holborn in Camden

Yummy pancakes, great service. Really helpful staff

A gem of a breakfast spot, delicious Dutch pancakes with a large variety of options for toppings and excellent service. Very friendly!

Greeted with a smile at the door, then nothing but glum faces! Something has changed for the worse, used to be quite good. Pancakes were raw around the edges, kitchen was not busy. Waffles were ok. Drinks were ok. Mostly empty tables and still service was very slow, took 20 mins for someone to come over and take our order. Food arrived quickly, but mostly raw, told that's how they came! We decided to go elsewhere for dessert. Not worth the wait, much nicer places for lunch almost everywhere on London!

Bright cheery cafe perfect for a mid afternoon snack or breakfast with choices of crepes, pancakes or waffles. Service is very friendly and efficient! Glad they have salad as a choice on their menu

This was my worst experience at any My Old Dutch restaurant by far. I have only ever used 1 other location, but due to being within the vicinity, I decided to try the High Holborn restaurant. Biggest mistake ever. I had asked for the buttermilk pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. My amendments to this order were that the eggs be made without milk and be “well done” (i.e cooked more than usual). My usual location ALWAYS accommodates these requests. This location couldn’t be bothered. Not only is it a dietary requirement for me to avoid milk where possible (mostly in yogurt, eggs, desserts, etc), but I am also pregnant and the gastrointestinal distress is incredibly painful when these things are not done. The Server mentioned that the milk could not be avoided, but did say that the eggs could be made well-done, which would have been sufficient. The eggs were far from well -done. It was more like egg soup on my plate, which had run onto the bacon and pancakes. I tried to avoid the egg as much as possible, only having a few mouthfuls and leaving 4/5ths of the plate intact. The only reason I had stayed at the restaurant was because I was in pain from walking, feeling faint from having not eaten, and had a bad headache. Reflecting on it now, I should have left. The bill was paid in full (minus the service charge as per the request of my company), and we left. I had a bad stomach ache from the food a couple hours later. I think High Holborn should be ashamed of not accommodating people’s dietary requirements. You’re a restaurant. Do better.

On Monday madness can you also enjoy savory and sweet tastes.

Relatively inexpensive solid food. I ordered a large savory pancake with ham. A powerful and filling dish.

Other pancake houses in London have undercooked our pancakes. My fiancée only trusts My Old Dutch with her pancake needs. I suspect she might be addicted 🤭 Everything here has been delicious, and the decor is fun, too! We have been here for breakfast, brunch, dinner, and dessert. They have a pancake for every occasion.

Pancakes are open crepes And the pancakes, the more realistic ones, are nothing exceptional

ionui was a great server and so friendly, he was fab

Delicious and massive pancakes!!!

So we got the Dutch poffertjes which were a 6/10 and the gluten free pancake was a 2/10 (it was raw and it’s a crepe not a pancake?) . I thought it was quite a popular place they should at least have smaller cuter packaging that people can eat on the go as we’re walking in central London, we were given the food in gigantic industrial silver trays. Asides that the strawberries were humongous and should have been cut smaller. Prices are good and service is excellent just few things need improving on. Chocolate isn’t even poured on top of food just put in a pot and solidifies quickly.

Great place with gluten free options

We arrive got a table straight away. Very cosy and relax

Dreadful. The only thing worse than the bland and overpriced food was the terrible service. I arrived the the restaurant five minutes before opening on Thursday, March 27. Instead of being allowed to wait in the lobby, the host made me wait outside for genuinely no reason. I understand making somone wait if they arrive 15 minutes before opening, but 5? I've worked in restaurants before and this is a no-no. During the meal, the same host decided to sit 3 tables right next to each other when the rest of the place was completely empty. Again, restaurants have seating zones--fine. But cramming guests next to each other is not a best practice. He was also cold, inattentive, and completely disinterested. Don't waste your time or money at this place.

Excellent options on the menu to include Gluten Free

The staff here are incredible, we ran an event here and the service was excellent with delicious pancakes at generous portion sizes. The decoration of the space is truly wonderful, perfect for pictures!

Nice place for someone has sweet tooth delicious pancakes, we had two orders which cost us 41 pounds with smoothie which is just ice, service cost was high taste was worth the money though

Decent visit to My Old Dutch Holborn- The savoury pancake, ‘My old Dutch’ was a treat. However the sweet buttermilk pancake wasn’t as good, the pancakes didn’t taste the freshest or fluffiest. Service was overall okay.

Went here for birthday breakfast! We got savoury pancakes and we ordered prosecco as we wanted mimosas… they didn’t have that as an option so we made our own! The plates are massive for the pancakes so they moved us to a bigger table which was nice! Pancakes were lovely and were tatsy! Highly recommended!!!!

Dutch Pancake House, in Holborn, which I’ve been going to for years. A wide choice of savoury or sweet pancakes and waffles, with some original and interesting fillings. I ordered the asparagus savoury pancake, with olives and mushrooms, which was huge and very tasty. Also had the Oreo milkshake which was also good. Highly recommended My Old Dutch, if you’re looking for somewhere Central, that offers good quality food at a reasonable price.

Poor quality food. Chicken and fruit were frozen. Poor service too

Well served dish, bischoff flavor. We loved it

Amsterdam pancake - OMG soo good and so original mix of taste!

Giant pancakes with dozens of stuffings’ options both savory and sweet, including an option of your own list of fillings. Love the place!

A Fan of MOD for the last 9 years and a regular visitor. Over the years their portion size has gone down but the taste is still pretty much the same. Their classics are the best to go for in comparison to their new recipes they come up with. Love the food but giving 3 because of shrinkflation Service was soooooo slow Had a great vibe. Their Monday pancake deal is still on so best to go on a Monday to save some 💷

Biggest respect and thanks to Oliver for his professionalism, excellent customer service and banter 💯

I loved the person welcomed us. He was full of energy. We tried waffles - they tasted really good but nothing special. The plate is really big, so it could be shared. It could be smaller and cheaper as the menu prizes were out of this world!

My wife and I have eaten here for over 30 years, originally with our own kids. This time, we also took the next generation. Great choice of pancakes - savoury and sweet. We had not made reservations, and there were seven of us. But the staff made place for us. We had a great time and the food was excellent.

Good variety of sweet and savoury pancakes. Super speedy service, seating and serving our party of 5 even though we didn't have a reservation.

My Old Dutch is a fantastic spot for pancake lovers! The menu offers a great variety of both sweet and savory options, and the portions are huge. The pancakes were delicious, perfectly cooked, and generously topped with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall great experience. Definitely a place to visit for a satisfying and indulgent pancake feast!

Great authentic Dutch pancakes in central London!

Had a great dining experience at My Old Dutch. Service was efficient and friendly and pancakes were delicious. On a Monday for £7.50, excellent value for money

Used to come here quite a bit as a student, but don’t think it’s worth it anymore - non attentive staff, long wait for food, okay food, pricey and loads of tourists

Love the decor and food was good

Very delicious pancakes 🥞 went on Monday and they had a Monday madness - every classic both savoury & sweet pancakes are £7.50!

Food was great and lovely service from Ionut!! High recommend !!

Delicious pancakes, with lots of options for savoury and sweet pancakes, as well as vegan and gluten free options! The restaurant is beautifully decorated but a bit cramped. Would highly recommend making a booking as it can get quite busy, their online booking system is easy to use. There were a few mix-ups with our order but they were easily resolved and the staff were friendly and helpful (if a bit rushed as it was so busy!)

One of my favourite spots in London. So many options to choose from and good ‘free from’ options for anyway who may need it. Staff are always attentive and polite, big fan!

We visited on a weekday and found it very noisy. The food was okay, but the pancake was cold, dry, and hard to chew.

Rude staff, items not explained properly but taste was wonderfull.

Nice food but overpriced for a few pancakes it's a Rob. Service charge and very expensive for what you get. I know it's London but it's pancakes.

An amazing place well recommend

If you love pancakes… go! It’s as simple as that. True Amsterdam! A reminder of our favourite place

It’s good and nicely presented. Lots of mini supplements, so the bill adds up quickly 😅😅 But the place is nice and the service friendly.

Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Great for a meal with kids. Both my 3yo and 8yo were very pleased.

Excellent service! Excellent pancakes and a great way to finish our evening. We loved it and thank you 😊

The food is interesting and great, and I have the best quality of service. The first time I am very delight to pay the service charge here. Would definitely come back Hahaha

Huge variety of pancakes. The ones we ordered were tasty and we were so full we could only regret we weren't able to order and try more! Will definitely return at next visit to the British Museum.

After a few attempts I update. The My Old Dutch was ok, but for me the Amsterdam was the best: apple, bacon and maple syrup, just like in Amsterdam. The hot dutch was also good, but be careful that the jalapeños are spicy. Kaseballen almost better than in Amsterdam (fried cheese balls). Every Monday, discounted price for most classic pancakes. (Pancake Monday). Various options for gluten free, veg and dairy free. The sweet section is yet to be tried. For Italians and Japanese, this is not a crepe or an American pancake. They are Dutch pancakes, they are made thin on purpose これはクレープじゃなくて、普通にオランダで食べている名物のパンケーキです。

They didn't observe the "PANCAKE POWER" codeword that I gave them upon entry and take off 20%.

Cosy and cheerful place with fab decor and tasty treats! We spent a chilled couple of hours here for brunch. Service was brilliant. Atmosphere was good and the food was filling and tasty.

Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff

Ionut and Tanvir were fantastic!

Great service from Ionit. Very friendly!

Great service, came for the first time with a friend - very tasty crepe! We were served by Ionut and Eli who were lovely!

my dad used to come here as a kid it hasn’t changed. Ionut and Oliver were great.

Great service from Ionut and Oliver😊

The food here is amazing 👏 And we had great service. Came back twice for breakfast during our 4 day trip. I would definitely recommend this place if you love pancakes, and it's usually busy, which says a lot! 😊

We ate Full English and Meat Feast, it was really great. Huge, delicious and filling! It goes very well with garlic and spicy olive oil. Polite employees and nice service. The interior design is very beautiful and enjoyable. Thank you.

Never tried the savoury optipn but I enjoyed my gluten free and vegan pancake (crepe style) with fruit and syrup. And a large pot of green tea which went down a treat!

Vlaznim was really nice and helpful

Had a great experience, went during monday madness and the food was yum. Ionut and Tanvir were our servers and they were really helpful and nice. Would recommend

Ionut and Tanvir was very kind, lovely service, great food, cute place

Pancakes were delicious! The monday deal was cheap and filling. Ionut and Tannir were great too!

Really nice experience in this cafe. Special thanks to Mr. Ionut for his professional service and welcoming attitude.

Brilliant friendly place and tasty pancakes!

The taste of the desserts was good and the price was normal vllaznim took care of us thank you

Thank you so much for Vallaznim&Ionut! The food here was great, and the service was incredible!!!

I had My Old Dutch and Vegan Berry Blah, and 'My Old Dutch' was really delicious! It’s great to eat with chili sauce and Tabasco sauce! Vllaznim & Ionut who provided service were really friendly, which made it even better! 🙂

VLAZNIM & IONUT They gave us great service😊

Thanks for the great service Vllaznim and Ionut!

This is a pancake shop I found by chance. The clerks, Vllazim & Ionut, were friendly. My old Dutch pancakes were good. It was crepe style.

Great tasty & filling savoury pancakes.

I was passing by and there were a lot of people so I went in and it was unique and delicious. The service from Vllaznim&Ionut was also great!

Ionut was amazing! Very good service and make us feel very welcome :)

Very nice service here. Due to my celiac disease, I have to eat gluten-free and the waiter was very helpful with what I could and could not eat and how to make certain combinations so it was safe for me to eat

The food is great! Staff is super friendly Special mention to Ionut :)

Had a great experience with Ionut and enjoyed some lovely pancakes with a friend!

Ionut was very nice and polite!

Great food and service - was served by Ionut

Ionut has been amazing with the service. Overall a very good restaurant, highly recommended

The service and food was lovely!! Ionut was also amazing and was super kind, definitely recommend!

I was curious about the poffertjes and my goodness did they deliver. Hats off to Ionut for the hospitality - felt like I was being treated at my grandmas place. My partner loved it! will be back :)

The food is amazing and the service is great and fast!!! Ionut served us and he made our experience in the restaurant even better! I would definitely visit again!

I had such a wonderful experience at The Old Dutch thanks to Ionut. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, offering great recommendations and checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. Ionut also offered to take a picture for me and my friend. The service truly made my visit memorable, and I can’t wait to return. Thank you for such a fantastic dining experience!

The service was very bad. It was my first visit to this cafe. Didn't expect it to be like that. The waiter who took my order was very ignorant and unwelcoming. In my opinion before opening a business in hospitality sector people should learn the meaning of hospitality first.

The pancake was really fresh and had a nice evenly spread topping, whilst the chips were hot and crisp. My favourite was the pudding, I had the butterscotch pancakes which came with a big pat of butter and plenty of maple syrup. Friendly service and nice ambiance.

As a Dutch person, this was the worst pancake I've had. Undercooked batter, burned bacon and apple slices. We also had the poffertjes and I'm pretty sure they were store bought, way too dry and served almost cold. I can't recommend eating here.

I recommend delicious sweet pancakes and more🥞🥞🥞

One of the best!! Enjoyed it all can't wait to go back

The service was disappointing, While the pancakes were excellent. We made a reservation in advance, aware of how busy the restaurant can get, yet we were seated at the least desirable table. When we requested to be moved, a young gentleman informed us that a large booking was expected, yet we observed tables for four being given to just two guests. We chose to refuse to pay the service charge, but no one inquired about the reason for our decision. Upon leaving, we were not even told goodbye, and the staff turned their backs to us. Although we enjoyed the food, the overall experience was unfortunately marred by the poor service.

Magnificent setting, impeccable and fast service. The pancakes are tasty in a good warm and friendly atmosphere.

Good - the milkshake was ok Bad - everything else. The service was dire. The wrong food was ordered for me. When the right order came it was nasty. Pancake was raw tasting and very undercooked. Very low quality meat and cheese. Honestly, when I saw food coming out so quickly, I should have expected bad things. It was far below my expectations. Disgusting. Avoid.

Great food and surprisingly short wait time, would definitely recommend the "Make your own", cheese balls, chilli fries and gougons. Nice staff, but it was slightly loud, probably because it was quite busy. I would recommend going before the lunch rush.

Amazing food for the whole family. Also nice romantic messages for dates! We had savoury bacon and salmon options and also tried the poffertjes with lemon (mini pancakes)- incredible. The last time we came was 26 years ago and it’s as good as ever. Honestly. Great friendly atmosphere. Best to book ahead. Only marred by the cheap repetitive euro-pop music.

Excellent value, crispy pancakes and attentive service! Stylish interior.
