In Den Gapenden Eter

"The bust on the façade and authentic pharmacy cabinets are a reminder of this historical building's past dating from the beginning of the 20th century. Today guests will be impressed by the cosy decor and fabulous view of Leiden's canals. The contemporary cuisine has not renounced the intense flavours of more classic fare. Diners are presented with a menu that features beautifully presented dishes, robust and bold sauces, and fresh and delicately balanced flavours." - Michelin Inspector

Really great experience, service was excellent and food really good. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and I will definitely go again. Didn't get the wine flight but the recommendations per glass were also very good.

Best fine dining restaurant in town. Compasionate cook and staff, good atmosphere in the restaurant. We had a 6-course dinner with pairing wines. Dishes are good in portion and flavours (the fullness of fattiness and umami).

Since quite a while the best non-Michelin star rated restaurant. You get what you pay for, outstanding service and good food in an amazing ambiance

Always a pleasure to dine here. This is a fine dining restaurant but not too formal. The restaurant is not going for a michelin star, they want to cook with pleasure and not be bound by michelin requirements, do their own thing and they got it right. The dishes are made with passion and you can taste that. Must go if you visit Leiden.

Third time in two years and our 6-course menu with wine pairing matched our memories: excellent! Food is great, well prepared and presented, with a very welcome diversity and alternance of seafood, meat and vegetables. Good service as well, very professional and friendly. And we really appreciated their flexibility with one of our guests who does not eat seafood: they prepared a special version of the 6-course menu, just for him. Nice touch! Very interesting wine pairing with wines coming from all over the world (good luck if you want to go "blind tasting"!). With perhaps one remark: their selection is a bit "static" as over the last 2 years, we had 2 or 3 wines coming again and again. Good ones, no worries, but new ones would be appreciated. Ah... and if I wanted to be super picky. For wine lovers, their wine glasses are below average: too thick and heavy. But no drama either and this won't prevent us from coming again!

Tonight, the sea bass, dessert and their wine pairings were the best courses I have had in a very, very long time. Some of the best fine dining, if not the best, that Leiden has to offer. With quality ambience. Without the fuss of formality. Phenomenal.

Best place ever in Leiden! Great chef and great service. Our experience there couldn’t have been better, thank you! For that range of prices in Leiden you cannot find anything better. I’ll recommend to try the entire menu. Every single dish is worth it and specially the veggie dish is a must.

The food was very good and the staff was quick and friendly. The waiter patiently explained everything about our food which added to our experience. It is on the expensive side, but it’s not surprising for a fine dining place.
