Other than a Dutch oven pancake (j/k) I haven't had a Dutch breakfast on this continent, so I don't have much basis of comparison. All I can say was that it was yummy and relatively light and filling. We ordered the pannekoeken with the hash with some wonderful BC smoked salmon. The pannekoeken was huge beyond platter sized (like a small pizza). He hash acme in a separate dish. It was greAt because we had plenty of pancake left after the hash was gone. Then we got some fantastic BC maple syrup and had the sweet desert after. read more

Beautiful restaurant, such a lovely location and set up! Service: bad! Wow, server spilt coffee all over our table, did not offer to wipe it up and continued to put our drinks and tabelware directly into the coffee puddle ..WHILE I was attempting to wipe it up. I had to ask for more napkins instead of him offering. A moment after we ordered we changed our minds about one of the dishes and caught the server to make this request just after our first order. Her irritation was palpable and the whole table made eyes at one another because of how uncomfortable it was to make this new order: she did not write it down, she was impatient and her tone was rude and unwelcoming. The service remained at this level for our meal. There were 4 other tables with customers and three staff working the floor... so the issue of business was not present. We love the structure of the building and restaurant set up but everything happening inside was not good. If you enjoy good service and food do not come here, there are so many places with better food and service at better prices and vibe. The food prices were expensive for the quality of the food. Everything was "okay". They turned off the music an hour and a half before the restaurant closed and we thought we were getting kicked out. read more

Best OJ Ive ever had. Really good coffee. And a banana and walnut panakoken. I'm in heaven. A very attentive server rounded out a great breakfast. read more

This was my first time here, although apparently it's a chain with several locations in western Canada. I came across it walking along the pier in a touristy area. But it was so bright and friendly looking, I had to check it out! I was recommended the banana and walnut pancake (Dutch style) which is cooked in the batter (instead of placed on top). It was so delicious! The Dutch bacon was cooked perfectly too. The view at this location is probably the highlight of an already amazing meal. The only slight issue I had was the service. It was passable, the server just seemed quite rushed, I guess it was much busier earlier. I'd go back if I was ever in the area without hesitation. read more

This will be our new breakfast place when we are in Vancouver. It was a short (but COLD) walk from our hotel. We got a lovely booth near the window so we got to see several seaplanes take off and land. We had some fresh squeezed orange juice. And then we shared the Boer's pancake and then a pancake with fresh whip cream and raspberries. All the meat that came with the Boer's was very good. And the fresh whip cream was so good (why so few restaurants can manage to whip their own cream is beyond me. The stuff from a can is no substitute) with the tart raspberries on the pancake. Everything was excellent. read more

On the morning that we were due to leave on our cruise ship, we decided to stop in for breakfast, intrigued by their Pannekoeks and their convenient location on the harbor by our hotel. We quickly found out a "Pannekoek" is the dutch version of an oversized thicker crepe. Yes! I ordered the Banana and Walnut Pannekoek and the Husband ordered the Farmers Pannekoek. I also ordered a Caramel Macchiato to sip on while we waited which came out quickly and was quite good. Service was a little spotty, we waited a long time for our check, to get seated, and our server only checked on us once. Luckily it didn't distract from the amazing food! My Banana and Walnut Pannekoek was amazing! It came with real maple syrup and the batter was loaded with bananas and walnuts. It was perfect and I ate the whole thing (though I was stuffed afterwards!). The Husband loved his Farmers Pannekoek which came piled with scrambled eggs, potatoes, two kinds of bacon and sausage. He wasn't able to finish which never happens! I loved the modern decor in the restaurant and the amazing views of the harbor. We will definitely come back here again when in the area! read more

This is a restaurant where come every once in awhile when in Vancouver. It is open for breakfast and lunch. It is particularly busy in the summer and there is a limited patio available. Food is freshly prepared, realistic clean and the staff nice. It's nothing particularly special but for a quick breakfast "Dutch" style is enjoyable. Although it had absolutely nothing to do with my review I won a free glass of orange juice! read more

The food was really good. The service was slow at first but it may have been because it was packed. It's a little pricier but it is downtown Vancouver. Most breakfast for adults run $12.5 (bacon, eggs, toast, fruit). Kids run around 5 to 6. All the meals are good portions. Overall a nice experience. The view of the bay is nice. read more

Pannenkoek! Get the pannenkoek! It's big, it's filling, it's so good! Pannenkoek is much lighter and thinner than your average pancake, but it is oh so delicious! I ordered the Vegetarian Hash with a pannenkoek. Everything was delicious! I loved the beautiful ocean view. It was very peaceful drinking hot chocolate in front of the water. I miss it! Good food, great view, not too shabby! read more

A dutch breakfast (American style). Since I am a pancake lover, I had to try the Pannekoeken of course - it was good, just nothing special for me. This was shared, as was the DeBakon and Eggs. Overall, I enjoyed both. read more

Have to try Da Bakon!! This place was great. Right on the water so you can watch the seaplanes. Be wary that sometimes the place can get slammed with a LOT of people all at once so better to go during off periods. read more

Heading to Toronto from Vancouver means your breakfast will be your lunch and likely dinner unless you enjoy airplane food. Had a nice brekkie this morning at De Dutch. Generous portion that should keep me going. I selected the meat lover's omelette and I could not eat all of it. Friendly service and nice harbour view was a good way to start my journey to Toronto. read more

Had a couple of very great breakfasts here a couple of weeks ago! Servers are all quite friendly. It was very busy Saturday morning compared to Friday morning but that was to be expected. Took a bit of time to get seated on the Saturday but was so worth the wait! We weren't in a hurry so I didn't note the time it took to get our meals or anything. Seemed about the same as any busy breakfast place on a Saturday morning. Will definitely check out the one in YEG since have such good experiences at this one. read more

Excellent views with great brunch. I was pleasantly surprised by how absolutely addicting the salad dressing is, known as De Dutch dressing I believe. The place is not too big so it wasn't loud, and there's a fireplace to warm up in front of when you come in on a November day like I did. Perfect after some sightseeing on the harbour. read more

Found this place on my last day in Vancouver. It's a pleasant location, right on the harbor walkway. I ordered the hash and the pannekoeken which are a flat, light pancake. I ate the pancake like bread - really delish! - but you can also use syrup and eat them like traditional pancakes. This is a very affordable option for a hearty meal if you are staying in downtown Vancouver! read more

Just was taking a walk at Canada Place and came across this delicious little taste of the Netherlands. Subtle colours of orange and grey . The service was great, all of the servers worked together and kept stopping by our table to check on us .The menu has something for everyone . Famous pannekoeken, Dutch pancakes !!!!! If I lived locally, this would be a regular hangout for me. read more

Well I just got my food at 1130. We got sat at 10 Am. We watched two parties that got sat after us, get their food. Mind you our drinks were empty the whole time. When asked about why our food was taking so long all they could say was the kitchen was backed up. I loved the food when we finally got it, but this place had the worst service I've ever experience. Will not come again because that. read more

I found it odd that De Dutch never came up in any of my Yelp searches for a breakfast place near our hotel. It wasn't until our last day in Vancouver did we find De Dutch via Google maps. I wanted to get a photo of the Olympic Cauldron before we left Vancouver. So to confirm exactly where the Cauldron was located, I looked on Google maps where I also saw De Dutch. It's a hidden place that is right on the bay boardwalk. This makes for an incredible view during your meal. If you can sit outside, all the better, but the seats inside the restaurant certainly provides excellent views of Vancouver Harbor thanks to De Dutch's huge glass windows. My daughter and I ordered pannekoeken. She got the classic which was just the pannekoeken with a strawberry topping. I got the hash pannekoken which included hash browns, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and cheddar mixed with sausage. The pannekoeken has a firmer texture than pancakes and is a lot thinner. Beyond that it's largely the same flavor. While I thought my hash pannekoeken was fine, it wasn't more than that. Our waitress was fantastic - very attentive and friendly. Overall, I can say that the staff were all great. However, while I recognize it's a sensitive subject, the host should be made aware he has an body odor issue. I'm not sure if it's simply because he doesn't use deodorant or what, but the small is quite pungent. As he walked around the restaurant seating people, I noticed others wincing moments after he walked by. It's quite off-putting as you're eating and a whiff of pungent smell hits your nose. To be clear, he was very friendly and was very professional as he greeted and sat guests. Overall, a good breakfast with much better service. read more

Great breakfast place if you're craving breakfast with a nice twist. DaBakon is great, gotta try it. My BC Bene was perfect! OJ tasted like there was a little water mix, didn't really taste freshly squeezed but overall great place. Can't wait to come back again. read more

The food was good as usual. However management needs to ensure there are armless chairs for the patio so that people of all sizes can enjoy the view and (more importantly) have the option to avoid COVID. And educate their staff. The young server today, while pleasant, was insensitive to our fellow customer's needs today and only presented moving inside as an option when there is no good reason an armless indoor chair couldn't have been brought out. The customer did not push the issue but I almost did on his behalf, having been in that situation myself. Sadly the lack of size/weight accomodations is the last acceptable form of discrimination. read more

Pros: the view is insanely beautiful, it's centrally located, and if you are just getting a basic breakfast you might be content with what you get. Cons: the service is highly lacking, the pannekoeken is not made from scratch and comes from a bagged mix, the food is extremely mediocre across the board, and the service is pretty bad. read more

The location of this place is great. The service is not. We waited 10 minutes after being seated to be greeted, not even served. We waited another 7 minutes to be asked for our order, without being offered an apology. We waited 15 minutes after our dishes were cleared for someone to come by so we could get our check. Will not return. read more

Great de dutch location! The food is so good and the prices are great. The staff are super nice. Highly recommend this spot.

Loved the food here! The Dutch-themed breakfasts were excellent, and I tried several. The service was so indifferent as to detract, which resulted in the 4 stars instead of 5. This was my first trip to Canada, and everyone had been really amazing, and then at De Dutch the waitstaff acted like Americans :). Not to focus on that - go here and eat, and enjoy, and just allow an extra 20 minutes or so. read more

This was a great place for us to eat breakfast. Good food, coffee, and a terrific waterfront view!

Thank you for welcoming us to this beautiful café your seats were very comfortable and the food was really good and I really liked the view from the Cafe thank you very much! And I also like pancakes. (That was written by my 7 year old-he insisted) This location was situated by the water which was very nice, the interior was decorated great, it really made me feel like we were in Europe. Portion size was very large. The pancakes were good. We asked for a few modifications which we didn't really get but maybe it's because it was busy. I ordered eggs with salmon which are pretty decent. They stated that they had fresh orange juice but we didn't actually get a chance to try it so I can't comment on it. Servers were all very young -- late teens/ early 20s but maybe that's our perception. But they were Energetic, and quite pleasant. Super tall ceilings, vibrant atmosphere. Good kids menu, wasn't quite a five-star but do you highly recommend coming here for a family meal. read more

I've had a negative experience each of the 2 times that I've been here in the past 5 weeks. The last time, there was spilled milk under my table from a prior patron that no one had bothered to clean. My pannekoek was undercooked both times, and the kitchen couldn't get their second attempt right after I sent back the first. On one occasion, my server told me that the pannekoek was supposed to be undercooked in the middle, and that I should have asked for it to be "well done" if I didn't want it the traditional way. Wow. I'll skip the attitude and food poisoning, thanks. From now on, I'll go to De Dutch in North Van or Coquitlam. Service and food at these other locations has never been a problem. read more

Nothing wrong here; it's lovely but is certainly touristy and high-priced. Coffee just ok. We had the thin pancake with pecans and some scrambled eggs and Debakon. It all tasted good. read more

The food is great!! Found this place last year when in Vancouver, and couldn't wait to come back to eat here on this trip. The service on today's visit sucked. The server never came back to check on us. He acted like I was bothering him when I asked for more water. I had been waiting for him to come and fill it, as he walked by several times, even stopping by to take an empty plate from our table. Needless to say we won't come back to this one (by the Harbour). read more

Not sure why anyone would give this 4 or 5 stars, it just is not very special. At least if you have been to a family run Dutch restaurant in Calgary it isn't. De Dutch closed two times in Calgary. I'm surprised it does so well in Vancouver. I ordered the Turkey Baron and Cheese pannekoek and was very disappointed when I asked for Gouda cheese and the server didn't know what that was, and said there was just Edam for Dutch cheeses. I asked for extra cheese yet it still only covered half. My meal was under cooked; I could taste raw dough in parts. Yuck! I will give them this: the coffee was surprisingly good though and the decor was nice and there was a great view of the bay. read more
