    Always fun. Food good, substantial, and very reasonably priced. Service good. Recommend for a good, cheap meal in the area.

    My siblings and I were having a day out in London and out of nostalgia booked My old Dutch. On arrival we noted how quiet it was despite being a Saturday. The wait staff had to be prompted to take our drinks order despite us waiting about 10 minutes. We were quickly asked for our food order after that. Our food came quickly as was to the usual good standard. However, we ordered a bowl of Profiterjes to share and this never arrived. After waiting around 15 mins and getting some strange looks from the wait staff we asked for the bill (the desert had not been processed). Really disappointing considering this is somewhere I usually book when in london. I will not do that again, simply because the wait staff were inattentive and were more interested in looking in the mirror than waiting on the tables and ensuring a good service.

    Brought 4 year old granddaughter, third generation of family coming to My Old Dutch. She loved it. Glad we booked as ridiculously full. Staff were lovely but difficult to move around so many tables and up and down stairs with plates and food when customers also going downstairs for toilets and further tables. Food was good. 4 year old demolished hers!

    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!
