Gorgeous spot to enjoy this lovely town. We decided to visit Leiden today as we are staying in…read moreRotterdam for a few days before a cruise. 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!

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. They have tons of outdoor seating and a neatly arranged interior; definitely stop by Bar Bruut with friends, if only for a quick refreshing cocktail.

Just take a look at the pictures... need to say more??? Service, food, ambiance : awesome! !read more

This place is mediocre. Service is fine, but the food was overpriced and the flavor was bland. We…read moregot the chicken tikka masala (way too sweet for our liking) and the medium-hot chicken curry (better, but nothing too unique), saag paneer (fine, but kind of flavorless), and a piece of garlic naan (one piece of garlic naan is 4.5 euro). I don't think I'd recommend this place, even though options for Indian are pretty limited in Leiden.

Had a superb lunch . The menu is limited in number but diverse in complexity of flavours offered…read more The preparation and presentation of each dish was exceptional. 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. Coming from the US the beach on the north…read moresea is familiar, if a little chilly for August :) It's a nice beach, the view here faces West, so we got a great sunset from our table at dinner. 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.

I would definitely go back again the next time I'm in Leiden.

The savory: a bit on the thick side - it actually seems more like two thin pancakes with the following stuffed in the middle, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, opinions and cheese.
