Housed in a historical building, this charming restaurant has more of an intimate feel at the front than at the back, where there is more natural light. However, the best spot is the canal-side terrace – perfect for soaking up Leiden's vibrant atmosphere. With dishes such as nori-wrapped leek terrine and candied veal in a rich brown stock and red wine sauce, chef Richard de Vries proves his expertise in classic cooking techniques. Served à la carte or as a wonderful set menu with options, this indulgent cuisine keeps diners coming back for more. Expertly curated wine list.
