A restaurant by the beach, very laid back place, nice to hangout for a drink. Loved the atmosphere and vibe here. Nice and friendly staff.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table near the edge of the boulevard. Way quieter than the spots further down, which I appreciated. Service was attentive without hovering&mdash;even with our dog and kids making a bit of a mess. Food did the job, nothing wild, but the relaxed vibe made it worth sitting down for a while.

Stranded overnight at the airport due to a cancelled flight, we didn&rsquo;t rate our chances of getting a good meal very highly. After a bit of Googling we came across Commune and although not expecting too much we were delighted to find that the food was delicious and the service quick and pleasant. The restaurant feels very open and the airport is literally the other side of the glass, but what it lacked in atmosphere it more than made up for in food and service. I wouldn&rsquo;t hesitate to recommend.

The chai latte was really good and the staff were friendly enough. But honestly the tables are so small, we kept bumping elbows trying to eat. Fine for a quick coffee but if you&#39;re actually having food it gets a bit awkward. I&#39;d probably grab takeaway next time instead.

In a street filled with restaurants, Bij Hem really stood out for great service and food. Mussels were fresh and flamkucken was best I had in the Netherlands. The restaurant was full but the service was very friendly and fast. I recommend for a small group or just for two on a Friday.

The food nice (good quality/price ratio). The location is superb and very child friendly .., great place for a family get together!

Been coming here for a while now. The separate work area is still the main reason I return&mdash;quiet enough to get stuff done. Food&#39;s fine, staff are friendly. Just gets a bit slow when it&#39;s packed.

The staff fixed my order mix-up quickly and the cake was tasty. Portion felt a bit small for what you pay, but service saved it.

Tried the mussels and chicken satay &mdash; both were solid. Place is a bit further from the pier, so the beach in front is way less crowded. Nice for that. Just watch out, some lounge seating costs extra. Ask before you sit.

This restaurant offers a fantastic selection of dishes, and the quality of the food is top-notch. I can&#39;t wait to come back!

Excellent three-course meal, with friendly, attentive staff, and a first-rate mocktail in a calm well-appointed setting.  My favorite restaurant in Leiden.

Solid bagel. Grilled veggie one with pesto and sun-dried tomato spread... good combo. Chai latte was decent too. Outdoor seating&#39;s nice for a quick bite. Nothing fancy but it works.

We love this place. Nice, authentic, great atmosphere. Good food, also a shop where you can buy all sorts of French authentic products such as oil, vinegar, bread etc.

Small place, so definitely book ahead if you can. We sat in the back garden, which was really pleasant. Service was friendly and didn&#39;t rush us at all. Just a nice, easy lunch without any fuss. Food was fine, nothing crazy, but the relaxed vibe made it worth it. I&#39;d come back for that.

Decent halal sandwich spot - nice to have something other than d&ouml;ner for a change. Juices were freshly squeezed, which was a good touch. Pretty good overall for a quick bite.

Been coming here for a while now. The banana bread is still the thing I keep ordering, it&#39;s always moist and actually tastes like banana. Had the cappuccino again too, espresso and milk were balanced right. Not the cheapest spot, but they&#39;re consistent. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

2nd time in a month, took my family this time... was greeted with a smile and words that said &quot;you don&#39;t have a reservation&quot;! Even though we have booked it days in advance through Fork! Anyway, we were still offered a nice table, food was really good and so was the service!

Excellent and delicious food also nicely presented. Portions are not big but you receive bread, butter and oil as an Amouse Bouche. If you are rather hungry, consider order a starter as well. Good value for money and friendly and professional waiter.

We sat outside for a while, just taking our time. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the staff were really kind. Made it easy to just relax. Location is handy too, right by the tram stop. Nice spot if you want a low-key afternoon.

Great spot right on the beach. Had the seafood and a burger &mdash; both were solid, nothing fancy but done right. Service was quick too.

The tofu burger here was properly seasoned, not one of those bland slabs you get most places. Filling too. They do vegan milkshakes, which I wasn&#39;t expecting. Place is bright with plants everywhere, makes it easy to sit for a while. Only thing is it got a bit busy around noon, but that&#39;s on me for timing.

The pistachio croissant was actually really good&mdash;flaky and not too sweet. Coffee reminded me of a Paris caf&eacute;. Staff spoke perfect English too, which helped.

Came here for the fried shrimp and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Portions are seriously big, sauce on the side is plenty. It&rsquo;s self-service so you wait a bit when it&rsquo;s busy, but that&rsquo;s fine. Food&rsquo;s consistent, nothing fancy, just a good casual spot by the sea.

The Dutch breakfast with ham, eggs and cheese on sourdough hit the spot. Flat white with a pastel de nata was a nice bonus. Place gets busy, but worth it for a slow morning.

The cherry beer and kroket are still solid after all these visits. Cozy spot, never disappoints.

The vegan cream cheese here is a nice touch&mdash;clearly marked on the menu too. Staff knew their stuff when I asked about gluten-free options. Portions were solid for the price.

The focaccia bagel with smoked salmon is my go-to here. Solid quality for the price, and the cookies are a nice bonus. Best bagel I&#39;ve had in Leiden so far.
