The Dutch was luckily open for weekday brunch after my plan A fell through, and I'm so glad they were! My friend and I visited at around 10:30AM on a Wednesday, and we were pleased to find easy parking and zero wait for a table. The restaurant is in a cute stretch on Passyunk, located right on the corner so it's easy to find. The vibe is very much so Dutch - lots of wood with ornate detailing and bright colors with flowers. Really unique and charming! We were seated by a window, which let in some lovely natural light and allowed for people watching. The menu was fairly large for a weekday brunch menu, which made the decision a touch difficult. My friend and I both ultimately decided that at a place name "The Dutch," one needs to indulge in the Dutch Baby, so we each got the sweet version with fresh fruit added. Once the arrived, we were amazed by the presentation - the fruit truly made it shine. The dish was quite large (I only ate half, although probably could have done more if I tried!), but the pancake was fairly light and airy as I would expect. At $16, it was a reasonable price for the quality and quantity and for the experience. My friend and I took our time dining, and our server kindly gave us space and didn't rush us at all (but also made sure we were appropriately cared for). As mentioned, the menu had a lot of good options, so I would definitely be interested to re-visit and try the savory Dutch baby, an omelete (Bologna or mushroom), the Uitsmijter (dippy eggs with gouda), or a more savory lunch option. I also didn't get any beverage during this visit, so I would love to try a cocktail or other drink next time. The Dutch made for a wonderful weekday brunch, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more unique take on breakfast in a cute spot!
