There didn't appear to be any servers walking around, so we just kept going to the bar for drinks. Not a problem, just setting the expectation. Good music and comfy chairs, and glad to see a local ipa on tap (instead of Lagunitas which is seemingly everywhere). Super easy to get a cab/uber if you're headed away from the area too, the W is just next door and they have a train of taxis out front (who prefer cash).

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!

If you are looking for fabulous decor, this place is not for you. This place is a paradise for foodies and wine drinkers. I'm not a big wine guy but our waiter seemed to know the story behind every single Wine they have to offer.... and they have a LOT of wine options from all the world regions. Food.... I have recently stopped eating meat, so I'm going by what my companions told me. They are all super foodies and when they were eating those meat sausages I didn't need their words - their face impressions, rolled eyes, sounds and .... finger lickings said it all ... and then they verbally confirmed that these were one of the best sausages they have ever eaten. Pigs sausage was the most incredible from all the options. What did I eat? OMG! Lobster sausage. Cauliflower dish. One of the most delicious Pulpo I've ever eaten. Amazing local mackerel. Bruschetta from another world. Roasted beats. Some kind of specials. For sweets, their chocolate salami was the best dessert I ever had in Amsterdam over my 6 years of visiting this city 3-4 times per year. If you are sitting outside in their comfy outdoor area, you will feel like you are somewhere on vacation in a very special place on earth... sipping on wine, eating top-notch delicious food... And for icing on the cake, the place is 20 meters from Coffee Shop Bobba... so stop by there first if you need extra appetite or come after dinner to enjoy some of the finest product in the city!

** Cafe-Restaurant Amsterdam**…read more We chose this place for a birthday dinner because the reputation suggested it was worth it. It was not. Two hours at the table, and for the first hour and twenty minutes the kitchen sent out exactly one thing: bread. Not an amuse-bouche, not an apology, not an update. Bread. The waitress who took our order apparently clocked out mid-meal. A replacement showed up at some point, which is how we found out our original server was just gone. Nobody flagged it, nobody acknowledged the gap. We had to piece it together ourselves. When the food finslly arrived, it was average. Not terrible, just not good. For what they charge, average is not acceptable. Three people, one birthday, total letdown. Skip it.

They serve it in generous (obscene, maybe) amounts, which makes dinner a real event. Clamps, shrimps, lobsters, oysters... they all form mountains in this baroque restaurant.

Desserts are what you would expect, not refined but tasty and sugary. Service is quite fast and incredibly professional. A fun option not to be missed.
