Yet another restaurant that has made my life so much better since my move from Alberta is De Dutch. Only available in British Columbia, this European inspired breakfast nook is exactly that, a strictly breakfast styled restaurant.
While they have multiple locations around the lower mainland and across the province, my favorite is the one at Columbia Square in New Westminster. Mere blocks from the skytrain and with an open concept design, this location is beautifully laid out and an ideal breakfast stop. Of all the De Dutch's I have visited, this location has never failed to offer incredible service and top notch food. They are fast, friendly, and above all FRESH!
Now some of you had the pleasure of growing up with De Dutch in your life, I alas did not. So while this post might seem like I am fascinated with something quite normal and trivial, humor me please, I thought this concept was really cool and unique.
My partner in crime advised that the best option for me was the Pannekoek, their signature dish. Which unfortunately for me, comes in about a million different options. More like 50 different varieties but you get my point. The Pannekoek tasted very similar to the North American pancake and is slightly thicker than a crepe. With a diameter of 12 inches, it can seem a little intimidating when it first arrives. Your toppings of choice are laid on the top usually in a ramekin or glass bowl. Then begins the traditional assembly of your De Dutch breakfast.
Step 1 - Pour out the toppings of your Pannekoek onto the surface. Line them up in the center in a line.
Step 2 - Tuck the one side of your Pannekoek under your toppings nice and snug.
Step 3 - Roll then devour!
My personal choice has become the Hash Pannekoek. A delicious combination of hash browns, mushroom, green pepper, and cheddar sauteed with your choice of ham, DeBakon (Canadian Bacon fried crispy) , sausage, turkey bacon or vegetarian. All smothered in hollandaise sauce, truly the low fat option on the menu. My cohort is addicted to the Rio Grande, with onion and green pepper cooked inside and topped with cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream.
My most recent addiction there is the Peach Melba. Quite simply a Pannekoek topped with peaches, raspberries and whipped cream. The wise breakfast nosher will choose a half size of both to enjoy the best of both worlds.
All of this food is accompanied by bold coffee and fresh juices. Everything you could ask of a great breakfast nook. While I usually avoid chains for my reviews, this location stands out to me. They take the time to make themselves a unique dining experience and provide service commonly found only in a mom and pop cafe.
They're worth the trip to New West. -

New 'n shinny with happy cheery serves to match!
A new De Dutch franchise has recently opened in New West in Columbia Square. According to local newspaper, it's run by the Jang's family. I saw the lady owner there once. She seems very friendly and approachable.
The recently renovated restaurant is bright and shinny. I particularly like the booths under sky light/green house area. All female servers are cheerful and helpful. The breakfast is reasonably priced and the portion is generous.
I was there with my parents on a Sat morning, and that place was packed! It's nice to see many young families with toddlers going there to have brunch. Don't think because it's New West it must be populated with grannies (not that there's anything wrong with that!) -

Went here for my birthday breakfast but was disappointed with the service. I think the restaurant is poorly designed, and looks cheap and tacky considering it's quite new. The food was fine, but nothing exceptional. It took at least 10 minutes for our plates to be cleared once we were finished. When our plates were finally cleared and it was obvious we were ready to go, it took another 10 minutes to catch someone to bring the bill. And we finally got tired of waiting, we went to the front to pay. It was so frustrating! For what we got the price was high, especially considering the poor service. Probably won't return again.
