About My Old Dutch Pancake, Waffle & Poffertjes House

My Old Dutch Pancake, Waffle & Poffertjes House is a pancake restaurant in London that has operated as the Original Pancake House since 1958, still at 131-132 High Holborn. The menu covers savoury and sweet pancakes, along with waffles, poffertjes, salads and desserts. Pancakes come in a 15-inch size, and the portions are large enough to split between people. The Hot Dutch is a savoury pancake built on a cheese base with pepperoni, chorizo and chillies, and the Strawberries & Cream Poffertjes sit on the sweet side. Gluten free and vegan pancakes are made for guests with those dietary needs, and fries or chilli fries come as sides. Seating includes a spacious lower level, and the team caters to corporate dining, private events and parties for groups.

Customer Review Summary

Savoury pancakes draw the most praise, especially the Hot Dutch with its double fried cheese base, pepperoni, chorizo and chillies, which one diner likened to a thinly sliced pizza. A meat feast pancake and a mixed meat and mushroom one with chicken that was not dry are also singled out. Close behind are the sweet options: a waffle with berries, a Pistachio Dreamcake Butterscotch pancake, and banana, nuts and chocolate sauce, though one family found the berry compote pancakes heavier than expected. Chilli fries are called a fantastic side. The pancakes are very large, so one reviewer suggests splitting them and another suggests reserving. The Monday Madness deal is praised, and several describe friendly service. Others report the opposite. One savoury pancake arrived burnt on the bottom, and one table got no check-backs, had to raise their voices for attention, and cancelled dessert after a long wait. Another asked three times for water and found the toppings overpriced.

    “We ordered the Pistachio Dreamcake Butterscotch pancake, ‘Meat feast’ 15” pancakes (minus the chilli), and ‘Banana, Nuts & Chocolate Sauce’ 15” pancakes. Everything was so delicious, and the drinks tasted freshly made. It all came in under 15 minutes, which was great because we were in a rush. The service was very quick and friendly, and Ionut, especially, had a warm, welcoming and funny attitude!”

    “My Old Dutch Pancake is a superb spot for brunch, but I recommend making a reservation! We had a party of 5 and were seated in the lower level of the restaurant, which is pretty spacious. Their menu is very curated and each dish has unique aspects: I decided to go with the waffle with the berries, which was absolutely delicious. It’s even better with ice cream! The pancakes are very large so I’d recommend splitting among multiple people. It’s definitely very sweet so balance it out with some of the savory items, like the fries!”

    “My old Dutch pancake house is located in a good place. We found it by looking in internet. First time being in London and wishing a good breakfast place this restaurant is the one. If you like pancake 😄. We did order pancake not knowing how big it is. It was kind of nice surprise 😅. We loved it. Thank you for your friendly service in your busy time. We will come back 😃”

    “Savoury pancakes??? I never had one before visiting this restaurant, and I have to say I was very, very impressed. The pancake was cooked to perfection, and the meat was cooked well (the chicken was not dry at all). So tasty and highly recommend it! I forgot the name of the pancake I had but it’s the one with the mix of various meats (and mushrooms). On Mondays, they do a £7.50 deal for most pancakes!”
