    Don’t go if you are gluten free. The pancake wasn’t cooked, it was cold and no flavour.

    Great place for brunch, wide variety of pancakes and waffles and very good quality. My gluten-intolerant wife and daughter loved the extensive GF options. Service was very friendly and attentive. Unsurprisingly it has been very busy both times we've been, definitely worth booking ahead.

    I’ve been coming to My Old Dutch in Holborn for nearly forty years. Apart from the loss of the lovely traditional Delft plates (must have weighed a ton so understandably not very practical) it remains reassuringly familiar in terms of yummy content and speedy service. The decor has been freshened and it’s all very pleasing.

    Delicious food, great menu, staff were friendly and the noise was at a good level. Not too loud so that we didn't have to shout to be heard. Decor inside the restaurant is lovely too!

    Love this place, one of the very few places you would want to keep going back to. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel very welcomed. The food was outstanding and they could cater vegan and gluten free dietary requirements. Each bite was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The team went above and beyond for my friends birthday and made it feel like a celebration. Highly recommend!

    Have been coming here since 1977. Yes really. My Old Dutch was just the room on the left then. Lovely pancakes, and my friend enjoyed the chicken goujons and Greek salad. My Roma was nicely herbed but essentially just cheese and tomato, very plain. The desserts of sugar and lemon pancakes really nice, but I had the pancake with berry compote which was far too much of it, and overwhelmed the pancake somewhat! Service both in restaurant and prior on phone and booking, faultless and welcoming. I shall return!!!!!!

    Friendly and humourous manager and a very nice waiter. The pancakes were excellent, but could have been served hotter. Remember to claim your 20% discount when you are a first visitor.

    Very busy, very tasty and the butterscotch pancakes were filling! Only negative was I got the Ferrero Roche topping for £1.95 and there were only 3 small ones on the plate. But now I know not to get that option again I will certainly be going back. £40ish for two milkshakes and two stacked pancakes is a little pricey but it's a nice treat for the GF! Milkshakes were nice as well.
