Bagels & Beans Lunch Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 16:30:00 +0000

After a day of shopping we decided to take a break at the Bagels & Beans in Leiden. This restaurant mainly focusses on bagels (of course) and coffee. It was our first time at Bagels & Beans and we both had never eaten a bagel before. Therefore we were very interested in how a bagel would actually taste.

We first ordered two Lattes which were delicious. Thereafter we ordered a sourdough bagel with wild salmon and a warm whole grain bagel with goatcheese.
The bagel with salmon was very tasty due to the combination of creamcheese with chives, capers, onion and lettuce.

The bagel with goatcheese tasted also really good but we only thought that there could be a little bit more honey on it. Nevertheless, the whole grain bagel tasted amazing and the walnuts and thyme on the goatcheese gave it an unique flavour.

We had a great experience at this restaurant and we were happily surprised by the taste of the bagels. Therefore we would definitely visit Bagels & Beans again to grab some lunch.

Annie’s Leiden Summer Lunch

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

Restaurant Annie’s Leiden is one of our favourite restaurants in Leiden and since we can not get enough of this restaurant, we decided to write a second review about it. We had a beautiful spot on the terrace were we could see all the boats passing by on the canals which was absolutely wonderful.

Our afternoon with a cold beer and a glass of white wine and after a quick look at the menu, we already knew what we wanted. We decided to go for the smoked salmon sandwich and the brioche with serrano ham. The whole grain bread of the smoked salmon sandwich tasted superb and the salmon and creamcheese tasted mouthwatering as well. The brioche with serrano ham tasted also delightful. We never had eaten a brioche before but we were actually happily surprised by its taste. It was also quite a richly filled sandwhich and therefore it was sometimes quite difficult to eat in a neat manner.

Eventhough the terrace was packed, our food and drinks were served on time and with a smile. We again had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant and therefore we recommend it to anyone who is living in, or visiting Leiden.

Barista Café Leiden – Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

In a monumental building in the middle of the city centre of Leiden you will find Barista Cafe Leiden. In this cafe, you can enjoy delicious coffees, breakfasts and lunches. They also have a beautiful, centuries-old courtyard terrace where you can enjoy the sun whilest enjoying a nice cup of coffee.

We started our afternoon in this cafe with a cappuccino and a latte. The waitresses in this restaurant are very kind and the coffees where absolutely delicious!
Since we were quite hungry after a day of work, we decided to order something from the lunch menu. We ordered the Club Sandwich and the Smashed Avocado Sandwhich and both of them tasted as amazing as they looked.
The Club Sandwich was incredible. The combination of roasted chickenfilet, oven-baked Coburgerham, lettuce and chopped cucumber together with brown bread made this sandwich definitely something special.
The Smashed Avocado Sandwhich was also really tasteful since the bread tasted amazing and the avocado and eggs were perfectly prepared. We also loved the pomegranate seeds on this dish because they gave it a fruity and fresh taste.

Finally, chose to go for the Iced Coffee Regular. The coffee tasted sweet and since it was quite a warm day, it was the perfect refreshment!
We had an excellent experience at this cafe and therefore we recommend this place to anyone who is in for an amazing cup of coffee or an extensive lunch.

Proeflokaal Mimi

Nick Riethoven — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +0000

One day I was working from home and I just really needed to go out and do something else. I needed to empty my head so I could focus again. Therefore we decided that it was a good idea to go for lunch. We searched on Google and we typed in “lunch” and one of the first suggestions was Proeflokaal Mimi in Voorschoten. It looked very appealing and modern so we jumped in the car and went over to Mimi.

When we arrived at the restaurant we were amazed by the looks and design of the place. It was beautiful and cozy with plenty of space and creative seating areas.
We were directly greeted by a professional waitress and we sat down at a comfy sofa seat. We ordered some sweet potato fries, Mimi’s chickie and Avocado sandwich. I didn’t know what to expect from the chickie, except it contained chicken. The sandwich tasted really good. I truly loved it! The Avocado sandwich was very flavorful and delicious and the sweet potato fries were also super tasty with a fresh dip on the side. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and the food was served pretty fast.

We had a great experience in this restaurant and therefore we recommend this to everyone who is up for cozy lunch/diner.
