This place is mediocre. Service is fine, but the food was overpriced and the flavor was bland.

I don't think I'd recommend this place, even though options for Indian are pretty limited in Leiden.

Great find while searching for lunch options. The food is delicious. I had the Steak Sandwich which…read moreI didn't assume much from the menu description. When it came to the table, I was impressed with the presentation. Colorful and healthy. The style of the restaurant is part geek and hipster with Bill Murray, Darth Vader and Banksy-like images on the walls. Good spot to people-watch while enjoying your meal.

We stopped by Bar Bruut near its opening, lured in by their re-imagined Banksy wall decoration.

Rude Waiters pretentious clumsy menu with too many conflicting flavors. Best thing was desert. Too bad we had to wait almost three hours to get to it. Really !!

The wine list is broad and complimentary to the dishes. The waiter was knowledgeable about the 2 wines we chose, and explained the concept of the restaurant as well as the dishes very well. The setting/ decor by the water adds to a great experience. One dish ( boeuf la roche) had an outstanding reduction full of flavour. Can't comment on deserts since appetiser and main quite fulfilled us. Overall service was excellent attentive without being obtrusive

It's a pretty awesome place, very close to Amsterdam.

The restaurant has an open plan with basically all glass walls, so the view is awesome. There are little fireplaces spread about, which is probably important in spring/fall and critical in winter. I wore a jacket in August, but it was pleasant. Food was excellent too. We had a big group of 7, got a lot of different apps and entrees, all were very good. We also knocked down a bunch of desserts and maybe a few beers. Full bar, the staff is standard "Dutch hospitable," which is pretty amazing (even coming from a part of the US famous for hospitality). We had a good time. I'd bring my family here.

Their beer selection reliably features several conventional Brand beers, but venturing beer geeks will surely find a brew they've never seen in one of the quickly rotating taps. In addition to serving up a variety of local and international beers, Stadsbrouwhuis also brews their own tasteful ales. Though their (very affordable) vegetarian dishes won't fill you up for a night of drinking, their crunchy and thickly sliced French fries do a fine job. We've only seen (rather than tasted) their other food from a distance, but everything looks like a well-made and inspired fusion of styles. As for their snacks: they're on the pricey side but very generous. Finally, the friendly staff is always excited to help you in beer-mergency situations. And in the rare occasion that their descriptions don't trigger your taste buds, you're always welcome to have a free taste. All in all, Stadsbrouwhuis is ideal for adventurous tasting and memorable conversations. But if you just have time to drop by on your way to a social event, be sure to pick up a swing-top bottle that's filled with anything from tap.
