My Old Dutch Pancake House (Bar, Restaurant)

At My Old Dutch Holborn it is perfectly acceptable (and encouraged) to have pancakes for both main and dessert. Stick to what you know with ham and cheese crêpes and maple syrup butterscotch pancakes, or try one of their surprising and outrageously delicious toppings, from chilli con carne with tortilla chips to mountains of Kinder chocolate – and there’s no shame in ordering both cream and ice cream on that sweet pancake. Note that their portions are HUGE so it’s best to pace yourself and share your crêpes with your dinner companions. The colourful and easy-going target="_blank">restaurant in the City of London also serves a wide selection of Dutch and Belgian beers, as well as fruit beers, ciders and milkshakes. Just make sure to order plenty of water to help wash down all the cheese, sugar and cream! This is a perfect spot for both a fun, family lunch and a relaxed late-night catch up with friends, and there’s often no need to book in advance as the scarcely-used downstairs area can be opened up when needed.
