Quite simple: go on a Monday or Tuesday (perhaps a Wednesday too) as you can get three dishes for Euro 29. On a Monday evening the restaurant wasnât packed, a few parties and couples there, but getting a table was fine without having to make a booking. The starter of tuna and cucumber mouse was a good refreshing start to the meal (though piercing the samphire stalks into the tuna chunks wasnât necessary and hardly the most refined way of serving the dish), a main of steak and sweet breads which was very tasty, and a pudding of crème brûlée which could have done with being a little bit hotter and stickier with the sugar on the top. Donât worry about the gimmick names for each dish, look past that and order some excellent food. Perhaps not the most refined of presentations, and a bit of tweaking here and there with some of the ingredients would elevate this place to being a super excellent restaurant (and the price would go up!), but the service was extremely friendly and knowledgeable (including some very good wine recommendations), and, for the price, this place is a real gem for an early week dinner.Thank you very much for your kind words!

We were 5 couples prebooked for 5 course evening dinner. Arrived on time, seated immediately, water delivered immediately - still or sparkling options. Beautiful fresh baked bread kept coming; wine glasses topped up; service professional and seamless, food courses imaginitive, colourful and delicious. Outdoor seating well lit and comfortable. Sun protection for early part of evening. All dishes introduced and explained. Time between courses perfect. Not busy (Sunday). Works like a Swiss Watch. Adding on the decor, ambience, restrooms, noise level and comfort I find I can't take off any points - so a perfect 10! Well done.

Everything is nice about this place with one major exception. It is located in one of the most beautiful spots in Leiden. The service is good. The food looks beautiful. But everything I had was remarkably, even weirdly bland. Like it was prepared for people who can't tolerate any salt or spices. But I only had 3 dishes (including a free little pre-appetizer which was a nice touch), so may be I just had bad luck.

We chose this restaurant because it was close to our hotel. Having read rather old reviews, we thought the â¬75 per person menu, matching wines to each dish would suit us. It is not our intention to insult the chef but only one dish was well prepared, The red wine served with it was a mismatch.We left thinking that there was neither flair in the cooking nor intuition when choosing wines to accompany the food.The lovely waitress repeated over and over her "set script" to the diners, who appeared to be tourists as we were. We thought it over priced and very pretentious to the point of discomfort.

This restaurant really lives up to its amazing reviews! The building itself is a period building with beautiful finishes. There is a stunning staircase going upstairs with a beautiful ceiling. We started with gin cocktails. The gin menu is extensive - They even divide it by sorts of gin - citrusy, fruity, classic - etc. I think that they have near on 40 different gin based cocktails. I had a monkey 47 - it was made to perfection.We did not have a starter as we decided to have one of the cowboy 1kg steaks with some side dishes. We have the Austrian Cowboy steak which was cooked perfectly to our taste. If you choose a cowboy steak you are presented with a range of knives to choose from - itâs so impressive. Our meal was outstanding - the meat was amazing and we had great sides including mixed veg and mushrooms. They served fries with the meal but we were not keen on filling ourselves with potato.We were too full for dessert so had some port.Service was great.Food was outstanding.Drinks menu is extensive and reasonable - we also had a bottle of wine and were surprised by how reasonable it was.They have water from their own spring so once youâve purchased your first bottle it is refilled at a reasonable cost. The restaurant is about 15 mins walk from Leiden station.

It was raining, and we arrived early. We were the only patrons in the establishment and the hosts allowed us to sit and wait until the restaurant opened for dinner. We were very happy and very touched that they allowed us to sit at a table with beverage (I had the beer, she had the wine) and unwind after a fun day museum hopping. The atmosphere is incredible relaxed and indulging. Our hosts were exceedingly gracious and offered to be top our beverages with the warning that they would be sitting to eat their dinner before the restaurant opened to serve the dinner menu. We were treated very well. The other patrons soon started to arrive, and we were not pushed, or hurried, or fussed over. Instead, we graciously waited on and served with genuine smiles, and heartfelt polite demeanor. The kitchen opened to serve dinner. We asked for the tuna sashimi, the smoked salmon, and the duck as appetizers. The salmon melted in our mouths, the tuna was fresh and so tender. The duck was was equally delicious.The rain continued outside, while we were happy and comforted by the hosts inside. We ordered our main course, I had the rabbit and was blown away by the succulent flavors that were exploding with every bite, leaving longing for more--a masterpiece by the chef! She had the sea bass which was light and delectable!Dessert for me is always the crème brûlée if itis on the menu. I was not disappointed, rich, yet soft, delicious, and savory. It makes you understand that this is what crème brûlée is supposed to taste, feel, consist, and achieve: a taste of heaven with every spoonful!The rain had stopped, and the night air was crisp, and fresh, and invigorating from the near sleep inducing comfort provided by our hosts. We practically closed the place along with our hosts and we were sad to leave, but it is a night we will always remember and be grateful to have been fortunate enough to have experienced the culinary magic and delightful atmosphere of De Jonker.Thank you to our wonderful hosts for an experience unmatched by others.
