People come here in droves to enjoy the late afternoon sun, not the mediocre food served on the crowded floating patio. Situated on the canal and safe from shade as a result of the absence of nearby tall buildings, this place can bask in sun long after it has set for the other restaurants around town. Service and food are... More

It was all going fine until we received our satay chicken which was not cooked. Having brought to the attention of the waitress she insisted on feeling it to make sure it was uncooked, she then proceeded to put her fingers in the chicken. And then insisted on taking it to the kitchen to have the chef check. I'm sorry... More

She had snails as a started, and a lovely vegetarian pasta with a goat-cheese stuffed portabello mushroom. He had a tasty duck starter with a small spring roll, slices of duck breast with hoisin sauce and noodle salad; with venison as a main. Nicely prepared and presented by friendly staff in welcoming atmosphere.

Annies verjaardag is a nice place to relax in summer or winter time, near Annies there is now a big christmas tree, it feels like if your in a charles dickens decor.

Nice place to have a couple of drinks; especially when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. It's a nice spot as well on the canal in the centre of Leiden. You can have small bites, sandwiches or even baked dishes and salads.

Annie's is a great place to go if the weather is nice, and you want to sit on the water. The food is excellent, and there is also a pretty good beer selection. Service can be slow, but the staff is friendly. I have been to Annie's three or four times now in my travels to Leiden, and I have... More

If the weather permits it, you can sit on the platform near the water in the middle of the town. You can even rent a cano at the 'Galgenwater' nearby and visit the restaurant from the water so it can give you an experience to remember. The restaurant, apart from the platform, is inside a bridge which gives it a... More

Food is basic but is good quality and it is more of a bar than a restaurant. They have a large area outside on a floating terrace which I should imagine would get very busy in the summer, service was good and prices about average.

Location is great: you can sit on a floating terrace on one of Leiden's canals. Food and drinks are very nice.
