Pakhuis Leiden in Binnenstad-Zuid

Lovely evening with good and tasty food. Friendly and helpful service.

Very friendly staff and a nice and cozy atmosphere. It was also very nice for us that the dogs were more than welcome.

Food great, service great, and just as it should be.

We had eaten here several times before, but usually in the cozy courtyard. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't suitable for that this time. After a phone call to check if there was availability, we were standing on the doorstep 20 minutes later, and then there was some confusion. We did get a table, but unfortunately, it wasn't the best spot. The food was very tasty! For starters, fluffy bread followed by steak tartare and prawn cakes. The steak was accompanied by fries with mayonnaise. The spareribs were tender but really lacked a marinade and flavor. The strawberry parfait and especially the lime tart were the icing on the cake for dessert. There is currently a nice summer promotion with 3 courses for 25 euros. But even at the regular price, it really isn't expensive here. When paying the bill, we received a nice surprise in the form of a token for a free drink when visiting one of the restaurants in the Rebel group. In short, a successful evening and worth repeating :)

A restaurant I frequent. Yesterday we had the tuna steak and steak (tenderloin), and both were deliciously tender and perfectly prepared. And the staff was extremely friendly. So, top marks!

Really excellent service and food was also really good

The place has a great interior design, very good food, and good service. It's worth a visit.

Top spot, I can only recommend coming here. Delicious food, good portions and above all very friendly staff.

The Summer Sale is really dirt cheap, but that hasn't led to them adjusting the portion sizes like you sometimes see elsewhere. Really tasty dishes and plenty of choice, also for vegetarians. I come here occasionally, but I actually should do so much more often. Highly recommended!

What a cozy restaurant. Delicious food, a great beer selection, welcoming service, and good music. I don't need anything more.

Had a high beer, super fun! Great service and super tasty beers and snacks! We really enjoyed ourselves.

The food is not good. Dry chicken, smothered in sweet sauce to mask the misery.

Pakhuis offers a cozy atmosphere in a prime location. The dishes taste good and the service is prompt; definitely recommended!

It has been a while since we were in the Pakhuis, and it was terrific to be back again. The menu is concise with great options for all, and (very important for the Dutch) very attractively priced. Our dinner was superb; just-right chicken wings, fantastic salmon starter, and butterchicken with rice worthwhile any detour. In terms of drinks, there is wide choice, including <0.5% beer that hits all the right notes. And such a lovely service. Pakhuis, we will be back.

We ate the seafood lunch special on the outdoor terrace (nice!). The shrimp croquette was very tasty. The portion size of the tuna salad/salmon and ravigote sauce was small, especially considering the price. Service: the young man who spoke to us upon arrival ended up serving a family that arrived *after* us. Sloppy. The restroom was mediocre, and I can only hope the kitchen is cleaner than the floors in the area near the toilets... All in all, I would not choose this establishment again.

What super service!! Plenty of and the right attention. So important for a good feeling!!

Good atmosphere, tasty food, friendly and efficient service, and not expensive, in short, a good reason to go back 💐

The architecture and vibe of this place are impressive and create a great atmosphere. As for the food, it was pretty good and tasty. The service was also a plus.

Had a delicious meal (three-course menu) in the atmospheric courtyard. Various dining options, including for vegetarians. The service was friendly, but everything went very fast; it felt slightly rushed.

The food was delicious and the service friendly. Unfortunately, the chairs were not very comfortable, which is a shame.

If you want to eat a veggie burger that tastes like dirt with exactly 1 slice of tomato, 1 of lettuce and lousy fries for 20€, this is the place to be. If you don't know how to make a veggie burger flavorful that's fine, just don't put it on the menu. Horribly overpriced

We enjoyed a delicious high cocktail. 3 cocktails with 3 platters featuring various snacks. Everything was very well presented, tasty, and the service was friendly. They were generous with the alcohol in the cocktails, and after all those delicious snacks, you really don't need a meal anymore.

Super nice place with a courtyard. The food was good, the lunch deal was worth it.

Excellent place to try the 2 croquettes in bread (a variation of a quasi “vier volen” sandwich), which are spread along with the mustard; great attention and service

Visited you for the first time yesterday and what a lovely restaurant! Good and fast service. Your Rebel Weizen tasted good and the food was delicious! They also thought of my raw tomato allergy, which was nice!

Tasty bitterballen and tasty Aperol Spritz. Good specialty in a pleasant setting.

Very nice place! The water melon starter was a very cool surprise and the salmon was delicious. It can be a bit noisy when fully booked.

We come here often for dinner or a drink. A cozy place with plenty of buzz. Very friendly service and they often have nice special offers. Last week, however, I was severely disappointed. I had ordered leg of lamb. When it was served, it didn't smell good. I tried the first bite but immediately spat it out. The meat was spoiled. I returned it and the staff and kitchen confirmed the same. As an alternative, I ordered steak for an extra charge. That was fine, as expected. I received an apology and a free cup of espresso. The extra charge for the steak was simply listed on the bill. All in all, I found that rather meager. Serving spoiled meat is a mortal sin for a restaurant. We will certainly come back, but I am writing this review to keep the kitchen and service on their toes.

This was the only restaurant we encountered during our trip with such a cold attitude from the staff – no greetings, we had to get our own menus, and the staff even made a mistake with one of our tea cups (they served coffee instead). However, the waiter remembered which person ordered which dish, the lunch was decent, the price was reasonable, and the restrooms weren't as dirty as some reviews suggested. I really like Leiden; during my week-long vacation in the Netherlands, the people here were consistently friendly and welcoming, but today's lunch was a bit disappointing.

Friendly and efficient service. The price-to-product ratio is reasonable. I will come back here.

A very nice and cozy spot for lunch and a meeting place. A nice stop between a city walk and a visit to the museums/botanical garden.

Bus day trip from Eindhoven to Leiden. Lunch at Het Pakhuis. Delicious glass of orange juice, mustard soup, bread with toppings, and coffee or tea afterwards. Excellent and more than enough. Friendly service. We didn't have to pay, as it was included in the price of the day trip.8

High cocktail on Easter Monday... drinks okay but food so-so... finger food a bit "stale". I had also expected a bit more Easter atmosphere... there were a few pieces of butter letters and 1 cinnamon bun for 6 people! An Easter stollen and a few deviled eggs would have been nice.

Had an Easter high today, what a super fun place and nice staff Worth the effort

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and good service. Very pleasant.

We went to eat at Pakhuis again after a long time because we wanted to eat out without spending too much. We were surprised by the food; it was really tasty. Service was okay; it was very busy and you could definitely tell. But everyone was very friendly. There were two drinks listed on our bill that we hadn't had, and that was quickly taken care of.

Terrible, first course appetizers ice cold as if they came straight out of the freezer. Had to wait 50 minutes for the second course because they forgot to pass it on to the kitchen, and this with 4 guests in the restaurant and a lot of staff. Next, overcooked shrimp and deep-fried food: fries, a hamburger, and a greasy chicken leg. The fries and hamburgers were also overcooked. A nasty, greasy choice for a High Wine! The third course consisted of pastries, also not something that fits a high wine! Pakhuis Leiden, you completely miss the mark with your appetizers at a high wine and the rest of your disgrace!

Nice ambiance, plenty of space, but noisy. There is also an outdoor area.

I came for dinner with my sisters yesterday; it was cozy and atmospheric, and the food was super tasty. The service was perfect. The price was also great.

We ate here for the second time and I must say it was better than the first time. The first time was quite a while ago, so we thought let's give it a try again and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was really good value for money. Friendly staff. It was a very enjoyable and successful evening.

Delicious food. Cozy interior. Plenty of space and not too expensive.

The cappuccino was lukewarm :( The lunch menu was suddenly limited due to the crowds, so no soup or fried eggs :( The spot next to the patio door is uncomfortable because people (and staff) don't close the door behind them :( The wooden chairs are uncomfortable :( The croquettes were delicious :)

The staff was unhelpful, we had to grab our own menus. They got the order wrong twice. We waited for dessert for 30min after the main dish was done and table cleared. The staff was unhelpful and borderline rude on the issue of meal reimbursement for university booking purposes (their own system). The staff had no sense of decorum and kept coming up and interrupting as we were speaking. The waiter (male) invited himself to our group picture and put his arm around one of us in the picture without asking. Extremely, extremely simple food, basically unseasoned, unimaginative menu, uninspired presentation. Decent selection of beer.

We had high tea for five of us... for that price per person, you'd expect a bit more than what we got. The scones were very hard and had a kind of liquid whipped cream (instead of clotted cream) that wasn't spreadable, and the rolls were a bit stale. The service was "good enough," as were the restrooms. Unfortunately, definitely not worth the money and won't be returning.

Food is simple and not particularly tasty.

It's a nice restaurant, and it's nicely decorated. The food was good, but not great. The service—young students, it seems—was also good, but not great. I thought the restaurant was nicely decorated, but it was a bit chaotic, and the restrooms were barely clean, so to speak. In short, it's nice, but next time I'll try something else. There's plenty of choice in Leiden!

One of the best restaurants in Leiden. Excellent service, welcoming and competent. Food is excellent because everything is homemade. All in all, 5 stars!,,6ct

The food was delicious and the service was very attentive.

A lovely restaurant with an industrial-chic decor. The dishes we ordered were served in generous portions. Customizing dishes was easy. If you're in Leiden, I definitely recommend Pakhuis.

cozy, delicious food, friendly staff, and gluten-free options available

Great, cozy place and good food

Great restaurant and smart corners where you can sit comfortably

Very noisy, but perfectly affordable and tasty food in a beautiful space.

Nice place with affordable prices. Very friendly stuff.

High tea with a large group, highly recommended.

Perfect location, delicious lunch.

Really nice ambiente, good food, fair prices. Portions could be bigger. Friendly staff, and swift service. Plenty space for sitting, comfortable sofar, and clean toilets.

Nearly frozen when we heard all the meat was gone. Hooray! Then we were compensated with extremely small portions. HUTS!

Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff. Nice atmosphere. We were asked several times if everything was to our liking. So, definitely worth a return visit...

The food here is delicious. The mustard soup and the bread and croquettes are wonderful. But I'm not sure I'll go back, because I don't quite feel the vibe of Het Pakhuis. It's very dark and cramped, and the restrooms smell terribly of sewage. It's really not healthy anymore. And the tables weren't clean; they were completely sticky when we sat down.

Just coffee and apple pie. Very cozy.

Good food, friendly waitresses. The main course took a bit longer than expected, but the waitresses were very helpful in communicating this. The waitress also offered everyone a drink, on behalf of Pakhuis, due to the long wait! Excellent service!

Cozy, nice menu, friendly staff and a beautiful courtyard

My daughter and I had a delicious meal here. The staff were friendly and the decor is cozy.

Great place for a beer, but absolutely unacceptable as far as the food goes. The tuna steak smelled so bad that we sent it back without tasting it. When we pointed it out, the waiter returned with the explanation that "their tuna always smells like this." Fresh tuna doesn't smell like fish. That's basic knowledge for anyone who works in a restaurant. I'm not going to risk food poisoning from raw fish that smells a week old. The dish was served with a sauce that resembled tomato paste diluted with water. There was a single random kumquat slice (I think) floating in it, which seemed to have been accidentally added, perhaps from a dessert. Or was it a creative choice? There were black sprinkles as a garnish, which, combined with the sauce, were so bitter that the dish would have been rejected even as a school lunch. The presentation bore no resemblance to the photos. The waiter did remove the dish, which I appreciated, but the solution felt perfunctory rather than genuinely concerned about food safety. I ordered a Caesar salad instead, which was clearly covered in a massive amount of pure mayonnaise. No trace of culinary authenticity. The chicken didn't look fresh either, but it was well-cooked and edible. This restaurant operates without basic culinary standards or genuine concern for food safety.

The sandwich wasn't very creative. I had steak tartare, which looked more like beef sausage, but there wasn't much on it, so the sandwich was quite dry.

Cozy place, nice location, beautiful building. Only had dinner here once, with a bavette that was impossible to chew through. I had to leave half of it. I gave it another try for lunch, but it just wasn't fresh. A much-too-thick mustard soup, a kind of thick and rich sauce. With a club sandwich with dried tomatoes that wasn't fresh. And a salad for 18.50 (!), which consisted of a bit of pumpkin and feta on a bed of limp arugula. Clearly overpriced; I was really disappointed, because for that price you just expect a meal-sized salad. So, unfortunately, I won't be going back again, only for coffee and drinks...

Delicious food and friendly service. The price and quality are excellent.

We had high tea here today (€27.50 per person) for three of us. It took fifteen minutes before someone came to us with the tea. We then had to wait a long time for the food. A single tiered stand was placed on the table with some savory and sweet snacks. I felt like half of it came from a supermarket. It was also far too small. We left hungry. Refilling the tea also took 10 minutes. Considering the price, we were surprised that there was only a simple tiered stand on the table, so the value for money was poor. The website also stated that the high tea would last two hours, but with so few people, we only spent an hour there. I won't be back anytime soon.

Very pretty spacious pub with vegan options. The spinach soup was AMAZING. I will definitely visit this place again, with my next visit

The high wine/beer arrangement was fantastic, definitely recommended and not to forget the service was top-notch!!!!

What a fantastic place this is! We booked a high wine. The staff is knowledgeable, relaxed, and friendly. The dishes with the high wine were delicious, perfectly prepared, and varied. There's a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, and the decor is just as inviting. We'll definitely go back, but this time for dinner.

Incredible food!!!! Delicious and normal prices!!!! For food after 17:00 be careful!!!!! I imagined a courtyard and very friendly staff!!!!

We showed up around lunch-time with 5 babies and strollers without a reservation, and the staff was very nice and accommodating. We sat in the garden, had lunch and some drinks, it was a perfect place for a warm summer day. They also have a baby changing table, which was a big plus for us.

Amazing amazing spot. Arrived without disclosing dietary restrictions, and the service team and chef made sure to be as helpful and accommodating as possible. 10 stars for their service and helping me! Food was delicious, and I will definitely be coming back!

A truly wonderful experience! Delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere! We'll definitely be back.

The tuna steak was disappointing. Otherwise, it's a nice place.

What a pleasant surprise! A charming garden where you can enjoy a meal outdoors. One point of criticism: it's a shame smoking is allowed. During dessert, I inhaled a mouthful of smoke along with the delicious chocolate mousse, which didn't do the taste any good.

The food was good enough. The service was excellent. The location and atmosphere were unique.

Vegan choice (a delicious burger 😋) but not only that, very pleasant service and a very beautiful environment 🤗

Very nice place, I might come back to try something other than the burger 😊

Cozy place with great food and drinks!

Sat in the courtyard, lovely, quiet place with lots of greenery, friendly service, only had a drink

A pearl with a nice industrial look!

Atmospheric and cosy place for a coffee or drink. ☕🍺 I would visit again. ✨

We ordered high tea, were highly disappointed, the "cakes" were mini muffins, small donuts and a small square of cake (these all looked shop bought possibly AH?) and a scone, also possibly shop bought. Sandwiches were average. We paid €27,50/person for this. The service was average and slow, and when asked on the origins of the building, I was told they didn't know but someone else did who wasn't there. What was meant to be a treat but very disappointing.

Wij bestelden een clubsandwich kip. Na lang wachten, de colaatjes waren al helemaal op, kwam de bestelling die vooral uit droog brood bestond, geroosterd, met één plakje tomaat, één plakje bacon, ergens een minuscuul dotje saus, nog wat groen, een stukje omelet en drie of vier hele minuscule stukjes kip. Een droge hap, met bijna geen beleg. Echt erg. Toen de vraag kwam of alles naar wens was, hebben we gezegd dat dit geenszins het geval was, dat de kip van de clubsandwich kip gevlogen leek en dat de hele clubsandwich kip vooral een broodbeleving was, en dat voor € 13,75. Echt heel slecht.

Good lunch menu and friendly staff.

Old wooden interior, nice atmosphere. Mackerel sandwich had nice relish in it.

Een high tea gehad bij het Pakhuis. Alle hapjes tegelijk op tafel, qua hoeveelheid matig en de zoete hapjes waren allemaal uit een pakje. Ik had er meer van verwacht.

Eten was lekker. Acties worden niet aangegeven ( gratis drankje moederdag) moet je zelf om vragen. Hebben er uiteindelijk 3u gezeten. Hadden menu, dus geeft aan begin aan wat je wil en dan ruim 1,5u moeten wachten op je hoofdgerecht is belachelijk. Kwam door drukte dat het zo lang duurde zeiden ze, maar is volgorde van keuken geen drukte. Gezien bezoekers later dan ons kwamen, maar eerder weg waren. Gratis drankje, omdat het zo lang duurde, lief maar niet bevredigend. Hele parkeeromgeving is vergunningshouder, zou fijn zijn als dat bekend is op website. Dan kan je daar rekening meehouden als niet leidse 🙂 Vriendelijk personeel. Voor ons 1ste en laatste bezoek.

Had lunch in the courtyard in a nice casual atmosphere. Nice staff serving tasty snacks. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed sitting in the garden with friends. Good service with a lot of knowledge of the area and tips for nice walks through Leiden. Top!

Enjoyed the (festive) Brunch on Easter Sunday! Very friendly welcome and service from the staff. Cozy Location. Price/quality of the brunch could be better, we did miss some soup and/or some more savory snacks, lots of sweets (Jam, Hagelslag, etc.) all in packets, which could be less and/or in nice jars/bowls...

Delicious food, friendly and service-oriented staff.

Noisy ball tent. Starters were gone. Main course mediocre.

Very tasty and good food, Probably because of the crowd there was a lot of time between courses and it was quite noisy. Cozy ambiance. Definitely recommended

Simple menu, but with a high standard of food. The burger patty was really great beef, the stewed beef melted in your mouth, the spare ribs (pork) were also extremely tender. It was Friday evening, so completely full, which meant that the staff were run off their feet. So the service was a little slow. However the staff are enthusiastic and friendly. This will stay in our top five reasonably priced restaurants in Leiden. Recommended.

Had a nice meal, 2 croquettes on bread, so ordinary but they had decorated it nicely. Service was very friendly, the space has different corners where you can sit.

Tasty cocktails. You pay for location. Food fine but not special. Service very good. Cozy but loud.
