De Stadthouder - Leiden Nederland

Great late lunch on the camel. Was able to set a dry seat on the barge that holds a lot of their tables. I had the toasted ham and cheese and my husband had the chicken club. We went back later that night for a hot night cap.

Right on a canal that has ice skating rink in front, the De Stadthouder in Leiden is worth the stop. We were looking for a cozy place that welcomed us in for lunch, when we stumbled upon this place. Plenty of seating with a very small upstairs. The wait staff is efficient and friendly....for European standards. We walked in and grabbed a high top and was served almost instantly. We ordered the Salmon toast, the Goulash with spring rolls with a couple Brands. The toast was a little hard to cut but overall the Salmon was great and full of taste. Food was superb! The Goulash was exactly what you expect; beef, potatoes, tomatoes, and paprika. So yummy! Sided with brown bread and a side of veggie spring rolls. Lunch was a hit! Really enjoyed the surrounding area as we had a great meal to set us out for the day. If you are ever in Leiden Netherlands....give The Stadhouder a try!

Been here a few times for drinks and tapas. Some tapas are better than others. Inside it's a nice place for a date or just to talk with a friend. The outdoor seating is lovely, great location, plenty of seating The service is on par with the restaurants in the area
