    We really enjoyed our meal at My Old Dutch, Holborn. The front of house staff were really accommodating since we arrived earlier than our booking time due to cutting our plans short because of the bad weather. The food was delicious. Staff were attentive on a super busy Saturday and we were seated near-ish to the till area and could tell the team of waiting staff have a good team vibe of enjoying working together which makes for a great atmosphere. The starter did arrive the same time as the main course - not sure why?! But we just found it funny and had it after our pancakes. We had the Valentine special of Biscoff hearts and that was great for sharing and we enjoyed the soft to crunch ratio in the textures and the flavours of course! Thanks for a wonderful evening!

    Visited with old work colleagues- greeted by friendly server who was so patient with us whilst we chatted Food arrived promptly on plastic plates, which unfortunately do not help to keep food warm - we all commented on this and missed the old china blue and white plates. Portions and price are fair

    The selection (of pancakes) is great, the food is tasty, and the Monday deal is fantastic - almost all pancakes are £7.50. This have become my go-to spot for after work catch ups with friends.

    Lovely experience, very friendly staff, checking several times if our meal was fine and taking lots of pictures when asked. Really went above and beyond. Great food and lots of choice.

    Una stella solo per il servizio perché il cibo era fantastico , ma servizio inesistente. Pessima accoglienza, e neanche un ciao all’uscita sia dallo staff che dal manager

    Staff friendly and attentive .food very good .wood go again Just one thing used to go in the 1970’s menu has changed a lot but might be worth bringing back some of the classics like st Nicolas regrets which had a shot of avocaat drink with the pancake .
