Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe.

The original restaurant that inspired the Dutch Pannekoek House chain.

It maintains all the charm and personality of a Dutch Pannekoek restaurant and is obviously very connected with the local Cambie community.

Many, many varieties of crepes are on the menu, both savoury and sweet as well as some more traditional breakfast choices.

The outside decor was really cute with the colourful shutters and the flowers,

very dutch looking...you can't miss it.

The service was quick and the restaurant was quiet. It's a good place to sit and have early morning...

Nothing’s more Dutch than a pair of wooden shoes. Or maybe Dutch pancakes.

The owner of The Dutch Wooden Shoe apparently started the De Dutch Pannekoek House chain. You have him to thank for that. After founding the chain, he likely got fed up and cashed out — and opened up The Dutch Wooden Shoe, his own take on the classic Dutch Pancake House.

Incidentally, the Dutch don’t eat pancakes for breakfast, that’s just an annoying North American habit.

The service was also solid. The server was very nice and attentive and our food was brought to us promptly. She checked with us often and refilled our coffee before we even got to the bottom of our cups!

I'm really glad I gave this place a chance. I think the problem with the other De Dutch locations

(and pretty much any restaurant that opens numerous branches) is that the food quality suffers and becomes chain restaurant quality: cheap but crappy.

Its good to see a place like this has stayed true to its passion.

I'll definitely be back for the more adventurous menu items!
