Great grand cafe; During a master class we followed at the Fries Museum (end time daily at 17.00) we continued to knit and craft in this cafe. It was really great how the waiters let us do our thing; and great service to. So we had a nice cup of tea, good red wine (house wine is a Tempranillo ) and the food is good value for money. We started on Wednesday by coming here, the stuffed portobello as well as the hachee was great (hear say) and I had the ravioli. For me it could do with less creamy sauce, but other than that - it was really nice. Thursday the salmon was recommended - so I tried this one. And it was indeed nice :) Friday, after a couple of real cold days they had "Snert" (green peas soup) which in my opinion was a bit too stuffed and firm to be a soup. But the flavours were great. And although it was a small bowl of soup. It is very filling And knitting in a grand cafe brings so much response from the other customers - real funny. I.e a man came to me saying he was coming in the cafe for years, but with us knitting there it somehow felt more cosy All and all it is a nice place, nice people, good location (2 minutes walk from central station) and the food is good value for money. read more

Outstanding food, atmosphere, and service!!! Quality experience In an old world / new world rest stop for the traveler or local.

Lovely restaurant, delicious food. Much moreso than a pub, but it is an awesome pub as well! I've had the fish and chips, ribs, spaghetti, tomato soup, chicken salad. All were amazing! Of all the restaurants in Leeuwarden, this is the one I keep coming back for. Bar staff are very nice and welcoming. read more
