Great service and fantastic food!! Quiet dining room. Kids loved the toasted chains we loved the omelette and Monte Cristo.

Great Breakfast place, very filling portions. Family friendly, legitimately friendly servers. All around a good option if your hungry during the hours that they operate read more

The food is great! But the prices are high! I had the goulash and it was great. The jam is miraculous! I would cut down the menu a but. All the stories and selections are too much! read more

Skimpy portions,cold food,cold coffee,over-priced. The menu looks great,but they don't deliver the goods. Not worth the money. read more

My husband picked this place for breakfast after a night at Scarywood. He said his lingonberry crepes were the best breakfast he's ever had and he isn't one for embellishing. I chose the traditional goulash with a suggested side of gravy which was also filling and delish. Oh and the peri peri sauce is a great compliment to the goulash! The daughter chose regular abelskivers and we got blueberry ones on the house. Great service and better food. We'll 1000% be back again anytime we're near. read more

I stopped here on my first trip in 2021 and was happy to see my favorite fresh squeezed orange juice is still served. I had the Dutch baby and it was delicious. My companions tried and loved the Danish abvelskevers (round waffles is a close description). The service was fast and friendly. I was delighted to discover this place survived the pandemic. read more

The Old European Restaurant - Fresh squeezed orange and. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

Wait times tend to be a bit long but expected with the area being over populated and not enough restaurants. Orange juice is great and fresh! Love the hush puppies as well read more

The bread and jam are enough to get me back in the door. The food was good, I'll be honest I've had just as good of omelette at other restaurants, however the coffee, bread, jam and crepes were great! Definitely worth a try! I love a good breakfast place - I'll be back. read more

This simply comes down to what you want to eat. If you want to eat bad food and sugar starch sugar then this is the place. I came here, trying to do a reduced carb and reduce sugar sort of meal and simply could not find any options on the menu. I get it not everyone cares. I just wish they had options for those of us who don't want their waistline to be larger than their inseam. Beyond that, our grandson enjoyed his meal, and the service was excellent. The ambience was diner and a positive vibe for most people. Clean and enjoyable. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place. We absolutely LOVE their German sausage & potato pancakes, but also so many other good things on the menu (cinnamon roll, omelette, goulash, etc). Fantastic staff and even better food. read more

Hot and busy on Mother's Day. The food is too rich. Yum, Kathy read more

So many things I hated here. Brought my boyfriend from out of town (CA) home to meet the parents, & after she asked where we were from, the waitress launches into a speech about how awful CA is... I get it, it's Idaho, but that's just not appropriate. I was hoping at least the food would save the place, but there was not a crumb, a single MORSEL of seasoning on this food. Say what you want about CA, but at least we've discovered seasonings. Finally, I bit into the French toast, & was shocked when raw egg or dough was shot into my mouth. Absolutely foul. My mother is no longer allowed to pick the restaurants. read more

Very pleased with the food and experience here. My GF and I came here for some breakfast around 10:30 and were seated within 15 minutes. Our waitress was very friendly and wasn't pressuring or trying to rush us in ordering. For beverages we ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice and the French press coffee. Both were delicious. Our food was the European breakfast and the goulash with a side of arbelskivers. For the most part the food was pretty good. I do prefer my hash browns on the crispy side but nothing to complain about. Overall we enjoyed our visit. The bill was less than $50 which to us was reasonably priced. I saw a few reviews of couples coming here and complaining about spending over $60 for breakfast and all I can think is what did y'all order? read more

Went to this restaurant this morning at 9am and it was about 25% full. Arrived before my friend and checked in at the hostess station asked how many in my party in which I replied two. Was asked where the other party was, I said she should be here any minute. I was told that they have a policy to not seat people unless the entire party is there. This makes no sense to me. I can maybe understand if it's busy or if it's a large party. Even at that it doesn't make sense. What was the harm in seating me and my party not showing up? Would they have not taken my order or served me as a single? This is a very poor business practice and had it not been for the fact that my friend travels from Spokane and me from Spirit Lake area we would have gone someplace else out of principle. However the only redeeming factor is that our waitress Elaine was wonderful and took good care of us. The food was good too. However because of this "policy" I will not return. read more

Let me first begin by saying the concept of this restaurant was cool- but that didn't translate into good food quality. Usually when foreign food is brought here they Americanize it here which is the way I personally prefer it but apparently they try to keep it very European like they advertise. Some might prefer it just my opinion. I went with the more "American meal" got a meal with pancakes, bacon, eggs, and sausage. They gave me fried eggs instead of scrambled which wasn't a big deal but the food was just kind of meh. Nothing special. Probably would've kept it at a 3 star if they didn't mess it up but I ordered a Cream cheese cinnamon roll which is one of the most disgusting things I've attempted to eat. I can't remember the last time I had to spit something out I got from a restaurant. read more

Good but beware all card payments are now subject to a 2.7% processing fee. Otherwise would have received 5 Star.

Many options to choose from. Delicious food. Freshly squeezed Orange juice. Good service.

Love the environment. The stuffed (sausage and cheese) Aebleskivers are the BEST! My littles love them and kids get free teddy bear or snake hotcakes! read more

I had the Munich omelet which was delicious. I was also offered one of the crepes (with lingonberries) and it was amazing! My in-laws love the Austrian coffee but I opted for the French press. While it wasn't anything to write home about, it delivered the caffeine I needed. However, the kids menu (most of the entire breakfast menu) didn't offer egg free options for my daughter who has an allergy to eggs so that was disappointing. read more

The food is delicious! The service staff are very friendly, and don't mind explaining some of the dishes. It's a great place to go for something different. read more

Old European is very unassuming. From the outside, it's cute and Dutch, warm, and inviting. You walk in and are met with a Polish Prayer, yet another sign of warmth, compassion and care that is about to ensue. The service is top notch - warm, friendly, fast, and efficient. They keep your drinks filled, and move about with purpose. The food is off the chain. We had an Omelet Stew which was a 3 egg omelet with cheddar cheese, ham, bacon, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and sausage. It was light, savory, and perfectly cooked and seasoned. And then, magic happens, they set Aebelskivers in front of us. If you've never had them, I assure you is something missing in your life. These little fluffy baked puff balls filled with either sausage and havarti (savory) with maple syrup or blueberries (sweet) with a dusting of powdered sugar and real whipped cream. Holy Toledo, they are soft, pillowy, airy, and obviously made with love. These little pastries are truly Heaven Sent, completely next level. If your looking for fabulous food, service with a smile, and some contentment in your life - come to Old European. We are already planning our return visit. read more

I really love this place. The service is always friendly, and the menu has many great options for breakfast. I've not tried the lunch menu, but my husband most recently got the Monte Cristo sandwich and liked it. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Scandinavian Cake Plate which included a German potato pancake (with applesauce), the buttermilk hot cakes, 3 Danish aebelskivers and a strawberry Swedish crepe. I also added the blackberry brandy syrup on the side. My favorite of the group was the Danish aebelskivers. They were very tasty with the bb syrup! My folks got the Austrian coffee which I tasted but I'm not a coffee fan. Was sweet with a foaming head on it. I always make a point to stop here when I'm in town and I don't see that changing anytime soon. read more

This place is awesome! Everything is so unique and different from food you can get elsewhere. We shared a cinnamon roll for starters (we planned to take it to go for later but once we tasted it we couldn't stop eating). One of us had their version of a chicken fried steak and it was the best I ever tasted. I order the savory aebelskevers which were so delicious. They also brought us a crepe with strawberries as my breakfast was delayed and they were to die for. Oh and the iced tea was some of the best I've had. Awesome experience from the food to the staff. Highly recommend. read more

Great food, love their breakfast. Portions of food got smaller but it's understandable with the inflation. Love James goulash, highly recommended. On weekends gets super busy wait time 30+ min read more

While the food is pretty good, the service is horrible. They used to have a very nice waitress there, who is blonde, and at that time there were some other nice waitresses and waiters. But as of about a year and a half ago, people that were nice left, at the staff that is there is snooty and unkind. I would recommend a Lil' Euro in Spokane Valley instead. Same great food... But a staff that makes the food more pleasant to eat. read more

Old European was one of our foodie highlights to our trip to the Coeur d'Alene area. Old European can be best described as a small, funky, out of the way Scandinavian/ Danish diner. Literally, a sharp right leads to a one-way road under an overpass, leading you to wonder, "where is the GPS taking me?" But stay the course, as it is worth it. Samantha, our server, could not have been nicer. She explained things when we had questions, and it was helpful, because the menu is huge. She also was warm, and made us feel right at home. The ebelskivers were fabulous. I ordered the savory ones with sausage and havarti. They were light and fluffy, yet crisp on the outside. Samantha brought us a sample of the blueberry as well, which were delicious. I also had the crepes, and although they were not thin and crispy as a typical French crepe would be, I loved the texture and flavor of them, which was balanced by the tart mascarpone-like filling and scant sweet strawberry topping. My significant other Hungarian gulash; she reported that it was tasty, but be forewarned, you need to bring your appetite, because it is a huge portion. A possible low point was the German sausage. I got it as a side to try it and it was nothing remarkable. It wasn't bad, but not good enough to finish, given all of the other choices on the table. A definite pass is the coffee; I got a French press and then finished it up with regular drip. Both were the lightest brown water I've had at a restaurant in a decade or more. However, the specialty coffees may be better as my companion enjoyed her salted caramel latte. Concluding on a high point was the cinnamon roll. Clearly made from scratch, it had the right amount of cinnamon sugar inside, the dough was light and flaky yet substantial, and the cream cheese frosting was delicious. Next time we're in Coeur d'Alene, we're stopping by again! read more

Overall not terrible. Maybe we just went during a super busy time, but when we went, we rarely saw our waiter (maybe twice). We had to keep asking someone to find our server to order drinks or our food. The food was yummy! read more

Food was terrible, service was terrible. Not worth the absurd amount of money we paid. Go to the real Old European or the little euro. Not to mention the booths fabric was gross and the menus old and nasty. read more

Family run restaurant with "old European recipes" how fun!!! Everything is fresh and takes some time but it's so worth it. Even the coffee tastes better. May I recommend the Austrian caramel or even the salted caramel. The flavored whip cream on top (with nutmeg spices) will just melt in your mouth. Our server was super friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu and products. Helped us understand just what it was we were ordering...afterall I have never had an abelskievers lol but for the record they are amazing and I will order them again. They are like balls of pancake batter stuffed with sausage and havarti cheese yuuumm! You won't want to miss out. read more

Would possibly travel over an hour away just for this breakfast again. Amazing. We got the scandiavian cake plate, which is an incredible value, and the traditional goulash. The customer service here was so excellent it shocked my fiancé and I how helpful and accommodating our server was. Let me just say that Courtney is one of the main reasons we are coming back! Thanks Courtney! The quality of this food was incredible. Everything is basically homemade...even freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade bread and jam! Couldn't have asked for better coffee. That Austrian coffee was a real winner. We would've eaten more if we could've fit it in our stomachs, it was that good! Let me just add that you should call ahead because there can be a line read more

Quaint breakfast with a menu that's fun to read with lots of stories. Portions were large and hardy. Our waiter Heather, was enthusiastic and offered good advice in what to try. She also brought us a cinnamon roll to share and at the end gave us a $5 off coupon in a cute little envelope. I had the Hungarian Goulash skillet which was huge, tasty and satisfying. It came with a selection of pan cakes, I chose the Buckwheat which was disappointing. It was dry and had the taste of a bad bran muffin. It needed some added flavors and moisture like adding in apple sauce to the mix. Other than this everything was good that our party ordered. This is the kind of place you'd want to come every week for a leisurely and filling breakfast with attentive service. read more

The Aebleskivers are my favorite and the orange juice is the absolute best! They've got a juicer that juices them right in front of you(:

Never had anything quite like this! I only wish we were in town longer so we could try everything on the menu. The coffee is smooth, the ham steak was amazing and those stuffed Aebleskivers were like biscuits & gravy on crack. Friendly service with made from scratch food isn't something I'd recommend passing up ;) read more

Fantastic food, a fantastic waiter (Colin, I think) Serious probably the best service I've ever received, he earned the 50% tip I left. This place is right over the Washington/Idaho border on the Idaho side where maskless indoor dining is permitted. I'd say that's the only drawback if you're super concerned with places following the tightest covid regulations. Fast service even though it was a Saturday morning. read more
