On Wednesdays and Saturdays, they have a farmers market and so we decided to check it out. It was fantastic! If you arrive to Leiden Centraal,, it is maybe a five minute walk to where the market is held, just look it up on Google. Once we had walked around for a while, we decided it was time for some lunch and wanted to have lunch by the canal. Annie's was the perfect spot as you walked down the steps and the tables are literally right on the canal. I ordered the tuna sandwich and it was absolutely fantastic, a perfect blend of tuna, red onion, and other stuff I cannot describe, but it was fabulous. Husband had the chicken satay and he was very happy with his meal as well. We each had one drink and the total was approximately €40 Definitely recommend. Don't be in a hurry. Just enjoy!

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. We…read moredidn't try anything but their gin & tonic (made with in-house tonic!)... which was pretty stellar.

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

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.

When I studied abroad in the Netherlands sometimes I searched for that little piece of home that was comforting and said "hey, its all good." For me, that thing was the Duke of Oz on superbowl sunday in Leiden. I had been to this bar many times in my many months spend in Leiden, but it just so happened it was one of the only places airing the game. Not only did the drinks taste extra good that day. If I can recall - and this was tough because I may have indulged in one too many Heinekens - they were serving up free food and snacks. Beer... check! Food... check! Superbowl... check! Now if you can imagine anything wrong with this picture you have some serious issues. But on that faithful night there was only one thing that would have ruined my most sacred Sunday and can you guess what that is? The game was broadcasted on a British station THEREFORE you guessed it... NO AMERICAN COMMERCIALS. Now if that wasn't a buzz kill I don't know what is. I really can't complain though, can I? Living in a foreign country, drinking the Netherlands finest, and watching the big game? Doesn't get any better than that.
