De Dutch Pannekoek House - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

We were sat right by the solarium style area with lots of windows and light shining through.....so good start. What's good about chain restaurants is you can expect a set standard. What that standard is of course depends on the chain. Before heading to DeDutch, we walked into a local family-owned ... breakfast place, and walked right back out. Why? Well......standards....let's leave it there. The Canuck French Toast - Decent. It came with back bacon instead of strip. I don't like back bacon. Back bacon is like the ugly unpopular cousin of strip bacon. However, this was actually prepared quite well. Crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle, not overloaded with sodium, and the grease padded away. DeBakon Avocado Benny - The actual benny was nice. The potatoes could've been much better as they resembled more cafeteria style hashbrowns. I think what we can take away from this experience is that the food was reasonably good, but not $23 per plate good. For $23, I expect more culinary skill. I mean it's eggs and toast. The service - Unprofessional. Not that she was bad. No, actually she was very friendly. Unprofessional as in ....she was not professionally trained. forgetting details of the order we asked for. I'm guessing they told her....well....bring them coffee, take the order, bring them their food and give them the bill. That she did and she was very friendly. I don't tip unless it's earned. With her, I could see she was trying. It was obvious, and she was going it with a smile. That was enough for me. Read more

I love going to De Dutch in Coquitlam! The food is always delicious, especially their pannekoeken. My favorite is the Strawberry and Whipped cream for a sweet treat, but the Turkey Bacon and Cheese is great if you want something savory. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the manager ... always makes sure everyone is having a great experience. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a tasty meal. Read more

Hadn't been here for over 10 years. Always to the competition across the road but we were pleasantly surprised. Nice renovations and the service was so friendly. The "other" place shrunk their portion sizes since covid but DeDutch has generous helpings. And with a decent sized pot of tea. ... They also have a point system going on now too. Atmosphere is more calm. Great way to enjoy an unhurried breakfast. Read more

Came here for brunch, was craving a good crepe and boy did they deliver! Crepes were light, filled plenty, great ingredients and delicious! I ordered a cheeky baileys coffee which was somewhat a disappointment, it was very watery, had no whipped cream on top, and lacked coffee taste. It seemed ... very watered down. But then I ordered an espresso martinis and that was perfect! I should’ve started with it! Staff are friendly, attentive, they repeated our order back to us to make sure our modified order was correct and brought our food promptly. Overall it was a good experience. I particularly liked the solarium dining area as you could enjoy the warmth of the sun without feeling the chill of the wind. They also have an outdoor patio for warmer months. Read more

I was there last Saturday to enjoy my free bday treat. The food was good as always, but what made this a 5 star location was the service. Reina (I believe that was her name) was so friendly, very smiley... She was just amazing! She deserves all the tips!
