Artikel 461 Verboden Toegang

Reviewed By Chris D - Leiden, The Netherlands

Always a pleasure to find a restaurant that allows you a cosy corner to eat and chat with friends. This restaurant has a lovely old bar next to it where you can have an aperitif and rendezvous and enjoy the views along Rappenburg, one of the loveliest scenes in Leiden. Despite its name Entry Forbidden, Verboden Toegang is the opposite, a delight to enter, a delight to eat well cooked food. The white fish [ I think it was Hake] was perfectly cooked - succulent and tender. The plate of carpaccio of beef was also beautifully displayed and succulent. When food is delicious in texture and flavour then you know there is a good chef.

El Gaucho

Reviewed By Stefano S - Camponogara, Italy

I chose the restaurant El Gaucho after Reading some advises on Tripadvisor and I agree with the general evaluation. The restaurant is warm and very cosy. The menu proposes a large choice of meats, mostly beef, but lamb and pork as well. Portions are correct and the cooking of the meat perfect. The wines from Argentina are tasty and not expensive at all. Saturday evening you must absolutely reserve your table.

Hollandsche Tuyn

Reviewed By MTRose - Montana Rose

We had dinner here one night and it was just great. The place was packed - obviously one of the most popular places around. We were seated near the window near the canal. Our waiter was a very nice gentleman who explained the menu and made recommendations. Most of us got the duck - which was extremely good. Everything we had was really good actually, as we split several appetizers and one dessert too. Good sized portions, reasonable prices, delicious food. Our best meal in the Netherlands. Nice atmosphere and the little town of Leiderdorp is charming as well. Great people there.

Our family loves Indian food and it doesn't get any better than this! We tried four different currys. They were very different yet all exceptionally tasteful.

Gezellige knusse bistro voor de lunch of diner in het historisch hart van leiden

Reviewed By NatashaEdwin - Leiden, The Netherlands

Been here before, situated in the city center of Leiden, in a nice ally with little boutiques, near the beautiful st Pieters church.
Hot and cold lunch menus. We ate a delicious typical Italian caprese salad, freshly made. And a aubergine/ eggplant salad. With freshly squeezed orange juice and good strong espresso. We'll come again!

Oudt Leyden

Reviewed By Robin R - Brussels, Belgium

We enjoyed a tasty pancake lunch here, washed down with some good local beer. The pancake menu is very extensive, but there are also some other dishes available too. The pancakes are about 40cm across and served on very large plates decorated with typical blue/white patterns. Service was friendly and nice, although a bit slow at times (we were in a side room and it seemed we were out of sight, out of mind). But overall, a good experience.

Cosy atmosphere, nice creativity, beautiful plates and great food. Service was super nice but could be a tiny bit more professional. Will go back for sure if passing close to Leiden ! Thanks

Crabbetje

Reviewed By Scrapmate - London

We wanted to eat some seafood and also wanted to visit Leiden during our recent visit to Holland. A quick search of TA brought this restaurant up and it didn't fail to impress. It is a small place with an open kitchen and the chef produces everything himself with occasional help from an assistant. It was wonderful to see his methodical and skilled manner of working - none of the rushing around and shouting as you see in kitchens on TV. We discovered that the place has been running for 25 years and this showed in the friendly efficiency in the kitchen area and front of house. Sensing we would be in for an unexpected treat we opted for the 5 course chefs menu which changes according to what is available. We were presented with a selection of starters (the tuna tartare was a standout dish), a prawn dish, scallops, 3 fillets and dessert or cheese. Each item of seafood was cooked to perfection and accompanied by various puréed and foams. Wine is available by the glass which is great when only one of you drinks alcohol and enables you to select different wines for each course. The selection of desserts and cheeses was spot on as well. All-in-all this was a very pleasurable dining experience and I would highly recommend a visit. Due to the size of the place and the fact that there is only the one chef I would advise booking to avoid disappointment.

Brasserie Park

Brasserie Park is the location to relax on our Terrace, for lunch or dinner, have a drink at the bar, great for lounging with delicious bites and wines, to meet friends and family or to give a party in one of our rooms. We are happy to advice you!

Reviewed By Brigitte_1977 - Schiedam, The Netherlands

On a perfect location just outside of the city center of Leiden you will find this restaurant with plenty of (free) parking facilities right outdoors. Nice, sunny Terrace and comfy restaurant. The staff is friendly. Quite some good wines to choose from (also by the glass). The menu features quite some dishes which have been made with us of the Big Green Egg barbecue, a nice feature! I ordered the vitello tonato as a starter, which was very good and the swordfish steak as main, prepared very well. If I have to mention one downside: the toilets .... these really have to be checked/cleaned more often.
