Run by father and son, this stop-in bistro features yummy soups, tasty sandwiches, great salads and typical Dutch meals to take out. Because of this, Soups and Salads is our go-to for any night we don't feel like cooking. Luckily, there's also seating inside, allowing you to drop by for a quick sandwich or a cup of their delicious lentil soup (which you can make even more delicious by adding a topping of your choice). In short, after your first visit, Soups and Salads is sure to be your new comfort food.

Starters of satay with a new sauce I didn't identify and dumplings were good. The entrees were fantastic. A mix of Chinese and Indonesian offerings. Drunken beef, a soft boiled egg in a sweetened sauce (a first and awesome), sizzling shrimp, duck!, Indo stewed beef also a winner. More satay chicken with a peanut sauce, yum. 10 dishes in all for eight of us lined up along the tables. Greatness on a side street.

Decided to go for a ham/cheese tosti and have to say I was very happy with my choice! The bread they use is very nice and I like the fact that they put the spiced ketchup separately instead of on the inside of the tosti right away. If you are looking for a (relatively :) ) quick lunch bite, this for sure is a place you can go to!

Food was delicious. I had the cas-kas croquettes. My friend got the Caesar salad which was huge and looked good. All of the food came out surprisingly quickly. The service was friendly and prompt when we waved him over to order and requests. Note that Europeans tend to leave you to enjoy your food experience so just politely wave them over if you need anything. He also spoke English very well and the menus came in English. He said they were out of kid menus in English but translated the menu immediately so we could get the kids food ordered first thing. Highly recommend this street cafe if you're in Leiden.
