My Old Dutch, located in the heart of Holborn, London, is a pancake lover's paradise that deserves every bit of its glowing acclaim. The restaurant specializes in both savory and sweet pancakes, offering a delightful range of flavors—from crispy bacon to smoked duck, accompanied by a selection of tasty sauces. Vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions will find ample choices, including delicious gluten-free options that don't compromise on taste. Reviewers consistently praise the generous portions and freshness of the ingredients that elevate each dish. The cozy ambiance creates an inviting space, complemented by the friendly and efficient service that enhances the dining experience. Many diners, like Kseniia Feodoridi and Jenny Yourell, emphasize how My Old Dutch has become a staple on their trips, often returning for more indulgent meals. The restaurant is also an excellent choice for families, as noted by Emma Nugent, who highlighted the diverse menu that caters to all ages. While the bustling environment may indicate popularity, it's advisable to book in advance to secure a spot. The only minor critique arises from the background music, described as "cheap and repetitive euro-pop," which slightly distracts from the otherwise charming scene. Overall, My Old Dutch is a must-visit for anyone seeking satisfying and indulgent pancakes in London.

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!

Awesome gluten free pancake, it tasted like a real gluten full pancake! If your celiac , warning! The gluten full pancakes are made in the same pan as the gluten free pancakes! They have tons of vegan options too. And the staff is super friendly

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.

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

I had a great experience here. We did a walk-in on a Sunday afternoon. We loved the shakes and sweet pancakes. The savoury pancakes were good but the other 2 dishes were absolutely amazing.
