Lazy Lemon in Binnenstad

food was so good it calmed me down 😂 Also came here for my 5 monthversay with my boyfriend and everyone was so nice and cool ! amazing place with dim lights and cool people ? will definitely come again !

Had a delicious meal, friendly staff

It started right at the door: we were personally welcomed and shown to our table, where a nameplate was waiting. That small gesture immediately created a warm feeling. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and nicely spacious, so you aren't sitting on top of each other. The service was attentive and friendly, without being pushy. Then the food: we were served a tasting of appetizers, followed by a tasting of main courses. It was nice to be able to sample a little bit of everything! Everything was prepared with care and beautifully presented. One minor point: as far as we were concerned, the Brussels sprouts were unnecessary, but that is purely a matter of personal taste. Lazy Lemon is a nice place for a cozy dinner. Given the menu, it also seems like a great spot for a relaxed lunch. In any case, we were pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. Tip: if you grab the deal via Social Deal, it is a great way to get acquainted.

Waited more than half an hour for a starter with a reservation. Asked for no fish, then they brought salmon. Shared dining... well, when you see what meager dishes you get. I won't be coming back here.

We came by spontaneously with our young daughter today. The staff were extremely friendly and pointed out that there is a play corner upstairs. The food was good, and our daughter enjoyed it too. We would definitely come back!

Very cozy place. Nicely decorated. Had a delicious lunch and drinks. Friendly and fast service.

A very friendly young man helped us and brought us a delicious surprise of excellent quality three times.

We sat down outside with a very nice waitress who adviced us and took our order right before the kitchen closed, but then afterwards none of the male waiters came to check on us, after 20 minutes with the table dirty I had to bring the cutlery inside and keep ordering at the bar because no one paid attention to us, with some waiters even looking at me with our table full of empty glasses and not a single question asked. It wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't because they were constantly checking on everyone else. Food was good, first waitress was nice, rest of the waiters could get a refresher on how to take care of customers.

We enjoyed our lunch outside on the terrace. They don't have a standard sandwich menu here, but something special and tasty. Service is friendly, fast, and with a smile. An area for improvement, I think, is the extractor hood in the kitchen. Upon entering, it smelled very strongly of cooking and frying fumes. It is an open kitchen, so that extraction really needs to be top-notch.

Had dinner once and the food was great. Other than that, it is overpriced and just okay when it comes to atmosphere.

We both had an avocado sandwich; it was delicious! The interior is very beautiful and atmospheric. The employees were friendly.

3-course dinner for 2 people with 3 starters, 3 main courses, and 3 desserts. Share it! Delicious and cozy.

The 3-course dinner via Social Deal featured mostly unique dishes, and every single one tasted delicious. The service was also very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. 👍

delicious food & friendly staff!

What a beautiful place and lovely atmosphere

Grabbed some sweet potato fries with a tasty dip after work this afternoon. Delicious! Very quick, friendly service!

Great food at the Lemon. Nice menu with a bit of everything, something for everyone. Went to eat there again after a few years and it remains well organized. Still find it worth a visit.

Absolutely nothing to complain about.

A little gem in the center of Leeuwarden. Delicious dishes. Super friendly service. To finish, a shot of Limoncello on the house. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very friendly staff. Dogs are allowed in the front indoor area. Very cool atmosphere with lots of lemon decorations, fitting the name. The strawberry lemonade is delicious. The music selection is also very good.

Wheelchair friendly. Nice disabled toilet with grab bars and a low sink. You can easily roll under the tables inside. A bit more difficult outside.

Very nice place. Friendly service, good atmosphere and good food.

We had a delicious meal. Very friendly service.

The food here was really delicious! Also very friendly people and a nice atmosphere!

I had a wonderful experience here. The Oh No pancakes were delicious! I can also recommend the spiced mule. The staff is also exceptionally friendly and attentive. The waiter was also incredibly gallant towards people with disabilities without being patronizing. I thought this was really great!

We had a delicious meal; we had the surprise menu to share and the service was professional.

Top restaurant, nice people, and very tasty food. You feel welcome and the decor is nice and relaxed.

This place was supposed to be one of many. But boy I was wrong. Staff super friendly, prices weren't killing my wallet and this taste! The dishes were sin worthy. In lazy lemon you are the one that supposed to be lazy. And just enjoy what they can serve you!

Really nice staff and gin&tonics

Two adults, two children (8 & 10) Nachos, broccoli, bitterballen Absolutely delicious! The coconut drink was great too! We'll definitely come back here.

The food took ages to arrive, even though the place wasn’t even half full. Once we got it they served the wrong dish to one and hadn’t noted as special request for another. On top of that the fish were not even fully cooked.

Beatiful place with very nice lemon decarations! The staff is always friendly. The food is very good with coupon for the price. We already went here 2 times and will be coming back if given an opportunity!

Delicious breakfast, in one word: luxury. Fresh and varied, beautifully presented on the plate. Pleasant service. Cozy and clean. Good value for money.

We ate here a while ago using a Social Deal. Upon arrival, we were immediately welcomed and shown to our table. There was a wide selection and tasty drinks were available as well. The staff is very customer-friendly, and there is a nice atmosphere among the staff themselves. The food was prepared quickly and the portions were large. It was very tasty, and I would definitely come back to eat here more often.

We chose this restaurant when we visited a colleague. It was a very warm day. The server chatted with us briefly and, because of the weather, added extra ice cubes to our drinks. Then we had a little time to think: The ambiance is fantastic. Very pleasant music, good sound, not at all oppressive. The decor is lovely, it really feels like a student town. We received excellent advice when ordering. The food arrived quickly and looked amazing. There was a minor mix-up, which was resolved immediately. I was very impressed with the food. Great service, great atmosphere, and overall a very pleasant experience!

Lovely place with nice decor for a quick bite to eat; waiter Lucean understands how hospitality works, really very attentive, friendly, and hospitable, I would love to come back!

Nice restaurant (comfortable chairs!), very friendly staff, and delicious dishes that are beautifully presented. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos, but it is definitely highly recommended!

What a fantastic experience at this place in Leeuwarden. We had a delicious meal here, and every single dish looked beautiful on the plate. The dessert, in particular, was a bullseye. The combination of the small glasses with fresh strawberries, the pastries, and the crispy bites was truly a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Everything was perfect down to the last detail. We will certainly be back soon for more.

Delicious food, best service, nice atmosphere.😄

The pancakes and acai bowl on the breakfast menu were incredibly delicious and the service very friendly!

Super friendly service, nice atmosphere, and had delicious iced tea, lemonade, and a croissant. Highly recommended! Also great for just sitting down for a bit.

Incredibly good service and delicious food!

Perfect. Good food prepared with care. Super friendly service. Frank, in particular, knows how guests want to have a wonderful evening. Top-notch and definitely worth repeating.

Had a lovely breakfast in the sun, glad the ‘Mancake’ is back!

Super nice atmosphere, friendly people, fun play area for kids. Plus, plant-based milk options, very important to me 😁

What if Fools Garden had opened a restaurant? We stumbled upon Lazy Lemon quite by chance during a day trip to Leeuwarden. The place is really cool and spacious. The service was super friendly and they spoke English without any problems. Our lunch was delicious – especially the sourdough bread.

Downright bad. Portions were very meager. A draft beer for 6.50 is simply theft. What shocked us even more were the mice running over the pipes and the ceiling. They will never see us here again. The mouse problem is acknowledged by the staff.

We had to wait more than an hour for the food. The menu, which cost €24 p.p., was not available for 5 people, only for 4 or 6, and was very meager for this number of people. We asked for sauces, but there weren't any, only mayonnaise... later it turned out there were, but by then we had finished. No drink or any compensation was offered. This is the second time we have been here and we always give everyone a chance, but once again it was a disappointment here; we will not be coming back.

We had dinner at Lazy Lemon. The food was well-seasoned and delicious. We ordered a sharing platter with various meats and side dishes. At €22 per person, the price was reasonable, and the drinks were also reasonably priced. The excellent, attentive service made for a pleasant evening. I can recommend Lazy Lemon. Based on the music and decor, it's probably more of a place for a younger crowd.

A really nice place to sit, have a nice chat, and enjoy a delicious meal! The staff is super friendly and polite, and so are the customers! Luuk and Frank, you guys are the best!!

Went for drinks and snacks at Lazy Lemon with my group of girlfriends and book club. We were seated upstairs; initially, everything was fine. The food was OK, a bit cold, but we had a lot to discuss, so "well, let it go." By the time we wanted to pay, there was no waiter to be seen anywhere, so we walked downstairs with the whole group and indicated that we wanted to pay. We stood at the cash register and had to wait a very long time there as well. While paying, we noticed that the bill was a bit high, but it wasn't mentioned, and the person who settled the bill with us didn't mention anything either. When we checked the receipt later, we saw that it listed more than what we actually had. A message about this was sent via Instagram, and later also an email. The restaurant's response was: * If every guest disputes this via email or any other channel after paying (later), and I handle every request positively, there is no stopping it. Then the place might as well close down. During checkout, the guest checks the bill to see if it is correct, and after that moment, it is settled.* But dear Dirk-Jan, how often do you receive messages like ours? Because if this happens more often, I would really scratch my head and sit down with my staff. After all, if it happens so often, it surely doesn't come out of nowhere; most people aren't out to rip people off, and certainly not for such small amounts. In any case, you clearly need that 8 euros more than I/we do if you are making such a fuss about it, so just consider it an undeserved tip. And know that this isn't about 8 euros, but about the way paying customers are treated. I have no intention of recommending your business, following it, or coming back. And I am sharing my experience with the people I know, because as I said, I don't think you should treat your customers like that.

Ideal for dining with kids. Upstairs there is a nice play area for the children. Furthermore, the food tasted great, and we were allowed to order something from the lunch menu for the kids. Handy if they like pinsas.

Great food, friendly service, nice ambiance

Upstairs there is a nice corner for the children.

Nice restaurant! I had a delicious breakfast there. The breakfast platter has a bit of everything. The service is top-notch, the staff is friendly, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant has a nice layout. Highly recommended!

I drank Italian coffee and it was 99% alcohol, I didn't like it at all. I usually enjoy it in other cafes, but this one was just plain alcohol, I didn't like it. But the atmosphere is very nice.

SUPER DEAL via Social Deal. Upon arrival, there is a welcome sign on the table with your first name. Had a delicious meal, large portions, surprisingly yummy, and very hospitable. Afterwards, a shot of limoncello on the house. The only warning: make sure you are either hungry or can control yourself. The portions are really big.

Exorbitantly high prices for meager meals. We have tried it 3 times now, but unfortunately, there is no turning back. We will therefore not be returning here. It is a shame, because the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is also fine.

Very tasty food, also suitable for families, highly recommended.

Always very tasty food and friendly service. Also received free limoncello. The sea bass was very delicious. The music could sometimes be a bit softer; since it is already a reverberant space, it remains difficult to understand each other.

Nice place. However, if it’s busy, be prepared to wait. It takes a very long time for a waiter to notice your table and take your order. The “twaalf uurtje” easily turns into a “twee uurtje.” And when the food finally arrives, the orders can still get mixed up. A bit more room awareness would really help on busy days—simply keeping track of which guests arrived first and making sure they’re served in the right order. It’s a shame, because this is a place you might want to return to because you like it. But experiences like this can easily make you change your mind

Food quality really dropped, it used to be really nice, but has significantly worsened over time. Personel also changed.

Great restaurant with a spot upstairs for families with children! The kids could have fun while we enjoyed ourselves! We'll be back!

Friendly staff. Delicious drinks and snacks.

We ended up here with a social deal. They had a delicious breakfast platter. I really enjoyed it, and the service was friendly. If I were in the area, I would definitely have come back for other things on the menu.

A cozy café with soft, dimmed lighting, a good menu selection, and friendly staff 🤗

Very nice food, very nice staff👏

It's a charming place, but our experience with the service wasn't the best due to the crowds during the Christmas season. The staff was friendly, though, and the snacks were delicious.

everything was perfect, breakfast was amazing, only taraart was really small for this price 🫣

This was the second time a friend and I dined here. The first time, everything was perfect: the atmosphere was good, the service was good, and the food was good. But the second time we went, it wasn't as good. The atmosphere and service were good, but the food wasn't good. The cutlery was dirty, and the pancakes were raw. We asked for them to be cooked a little longer, and they did so without a problem. But when they came back, they were still raw. Such a shame.

Nice place, friendly service and good food.

Great food and a nice menu. Highly recommended!

Our reserved table (with our name on it) was given right in front of us to a group without a reservation, and we were offered a worse alternative. I used to like coming here, but not anymore.

The food was delicious! The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. We definitely recommend the three-course menu through Social Deal, including a surprising dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Delicious breakfast. Luxurious breakfast board. Friendly waitresses. Lazy Lemon in a relaxed Christmas atmosphere.

Wonderful dinner with my son. We had the Meat lovers main meal to share. That came on a beautiful dish in the middle of the table and was a variety of delicious food. Plenty for the both of us. We had a beautiful sweet treat to finish. Really delicious! Wonderful staff. And I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Lazy Lemon, because he was working alongside his staff (I love when they do that). He was so nice and heartwarming, how he talked about his business. Wonderful evening. Wonderful people. Delicious food 👍☺️

I like coming here, people are nice and the atmosphere is good.

Nice location with good decoration, food was good, but we only had a snack. Service is not that good because of very long waiting time. We ha d to way very to long to even get the menu and drinks.

A three-course meal through a social deal. Delicious food and excellent, friendly service.

What a disgrace, very dissatisfied

If I was an animal waiting for slaughtering, I would only want this restaurant to process me! Best food

Wow, what a delicious meal and drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere! The vegetarian sweet potato and pumpkin pie with potatoes and sweet potato fries was delicious. The service was so friendly and welcoming! An 11! Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!

The puff pastry tart is highly recommended!

Great restaurant with a wide variety of options, including delicious vegetarian dishes! The service is also very friendly!

We had a particularly unpleasant experience, even though we didn't even eat there. We were on a weekend getaway with family and had made reservations well in advance for Sunday lunch. With three small children, it seemed like a very nice and cozy place. On our way to Leeuwarden, my wife wanted to call to let them know we'd be about 10 to 15 minutes late. While experience has shown that this is usually appreciated (some would say unnecessary), the gentleman's response was very unfriendly and quite bizarre. According to him, it was indeed a problem that we would be late, because it meant they were losing revenue. We were told that reserved tables were prepared 30 minutes in advance and that they had had to turn people away because they were full. It became quite clear that he preferred to give the table to other customers and cancel our reservation. When we were asked, "What would you do in my situation?" we didn't feel like eating there anymore and told him he'd have to give our table to... Finally, he said we could try it on spec, but we decided to have lunch elsewhere. Suggestion: remove the option for reservations if it's so problematic if a group arrives a little later than originally planned.

Nice place and staff. But the lemonade is not fresh at all and the "bread and more" plate was more like "bread and less". The rest of the food was delicious

Ate at Lazy Lemon through Social Deal. I'd never had pork cheek before, but oh, it was delicious. Friendly staff. Had a great evening.

Delicious food! Very pleasant atmosphere too!

So many delicious dishes to choose from. So far, nothing has disappointed. The atmosphere is also very pleasant.

We ate at Lazy Lemon for the first time, and the overall experience wasn't great. The bread on the bread board was still frozen inside, it took a very long time to get our food, and you have to plan ahead for drinks, otherwise you won't get your drinks until you've finished your food. We also found it very expensive. We don't mind paying good money for good food, but 7 or 8 euros for a bread board with one bun and 17 euros for a small burger was too much. The staff was very friendly, and we also liked the restaurant's decor.

Nice children's corner. Extensive menu.

We received a warm welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the homemade iced tea! A friendly waitress came to ask if everything was to our liking just as we were taking a new bite. The evening, of course, concluded with the delicious limoncello tiramisu.

We had a three-course dinner here through a social deal. The staff was very friendly, the food was good. The restaurant looks nice.

A beautiful accommodation with friendly, young staff. With an innovative menu that opened up a whole new world for me. I had a delicious lunch and refreshing drinks. A truly wonderful and delicious experience.

The food was delicious and sufficient.

We had a wonderful meal and enjoyed a lovely dinner. We loved the surprise menu! The staff was super friendly, even our dog was more than welcome. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Leeuwarden.

10/5. What a fantastic restaurant! Superb food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. I didn't know what to expect from the pork cheek, but it was a slice of heaven on earth. Incredibly tender and so delicious, and the combination with the sauce was also excellent.

Great breakfast place and ambience, maybe a bit expensive.

We went here for the second time while visiting puppies in Leeuwarden. The first time, we found it through Google because we found the menu appealing, and the second time because we really enjoyed it. Delicious coffee, friendly and attentive staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. If it were closer, we'd come more often!

Enjoyed a three-course tasting dinner here through Social Deal. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! The homemade lemonades are highly recommended!
