You cannot beat the views on the waterfront, but the food was just ok. Not much more than ok. Although they absolutely present the courses looking as haute cuisine, sometimes it looks better than it in reality tasts. I mean, the fish tasted like fried fish but thepresentation made it look nicer. We had the 5 courses arrangement with the... More

If you like small, but delicious bites rather than hugue portions, I recommend that you try Woods. But if you are hungry and in for a big meal, go somewhere else. Service is very good. The waiter is flexible and really tries to please you. Unfortunately, it was not crowded at all, when we had dinner at Woods.

Recently had a great evening here as part of Restaurant Week... but this was due to the company of friends and not the service provided by the restaurant. This restaurant was selected for us randomly as part of the week and upon reading the reviews we were struck by the mix of comments, ranging from "up-itself" to "excellent". Typically given... More

Visited Restaurant Woods with a group of friends as a surprise meal, taking advantage of Restaurant Week and the set 3 course dinner menu for 30 per head. The restaurant scored highly for location, ease of access and parking, decor and ambiance. A nice place to arrive at and be in. The terrace also looked lovely. On arriving The Maitre... More

Last night we went to Woods for a romantic dinner after a hard week. I have only been to Woods on Business lunches and dinner. But I was so impressed by the quality that I made reservations and surprised my girlfriend. The location is right next to one of the many canals around Leiden, very nice. The attention given to...

We went on a sunny afternoon, on a sunday. The Brasserie serves the food, so no restaurant menu. We started with a nice bottle of prosecco and some bites... the bites were part of a deal. This was the first disappointment... I expected some nice creative bites but we were served fatty 'bitterballen'. Yes the terrace is nice, allthough it... More

Have been here three times in total. First time food was ok but nothing special but that didn't matter as we sat outside enjoying our wine and the boats going by. 2nd time food was much much better (new chef?) all fresh produce prepared so that you enjoyed it's quality & preparation. Third time, food was back to the what... More

Yes - it is good food - good wines. Beautiful decor, nice location - but the minuscule, tiny, almost laugable, sized portion leaves you hungry after a 3 course meal. Shame.

I've been visiting Woods with my wife and a couple of friends. As this happened during the Leiden Restaurant Week we have had a three course à-la-carte for a special price; this represented a unique opportunity that I highly recommend to try this restaurant, as everything proved to be first class and prices are in line. Mind you, this means... More
