Proeflokaal Bregje Leiden in Binnenstad-Zuid

Very cozy restaurant. Good food for a good price. Staff friendly and nice. Leiden location.

We had a 2-course Social Deal meal here for 15 euros. This was only available from Monday to Friday. We found out that it is normally 3 courses for 20 euros, so not really a discount but an option to choose from. The restaurant is narrow and extends very far back. Very nicely decorated. We ordered carpaccio. Unfortunately, it came with pesto dressing instead of truffle mayo. Unfortunately, this could not be changed. That is why 2 out of 3 ordered the carpaccio plain, without dressing/sauce, but when it was served, it turned out not to be dressing but pesto mayonnaise. That really should have been mentioned. The spareribs were delicious. The pork tenderloin was slightly overcooked but was served with tasty vegetables. The passion fruit trifle we ordered on the side (so it was 3 courses after all) was delicious! It did take a long time to arrive, though. Nice concept. The portions are a bit smaller than at other restaurants, but you can still dine out in a cozy atmosphere for a very reasonable price.

Service improved lately. Fair price for a 3 course meal. Entree and dessert fine. Main meal still a bit disappointing. And the last time there was no steak or beef on the menu as before.

Pleasant and friendly service. 3-course menu for 20 euros. Everything tasted great, better than you would expect for 20 euros. We will definitely eat there again.

I ate here with my parents last Saturday and it was really top-notch! I can't say otherwise. Friendly service, the man walking around oversees everything and is everywhere at once.

Fast and friendly service; one Bregje is not the same as another. The one in Alkmaar was slightly tastier, had a slightly nicer atmosphere, but that is quite subjective as it could vary from day to day. But then, in this day and age, ecologically speaking, refusing to serve tap water, even though I ordered 3 drinks from the menu. What an incomprehensible policy philosophy that is; it's a shame. I won't be coming back here. I give the average number of stars Bregje received from everyone and hope they change their policy someday. Bad publicity! Unfortunately.

The food is simple, but very tasty.

Simply good! We ate with a large group (>30 people) and the food was flavorful.

The food and service were really very good and tasty. The extra fries were unnecessary. People kept standing by our table waiting to be shown to a spot. There is a nice reception hall.

It was our first time here. The food was good, and the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a repeat visit, although the front part of the restaurant is overexposed because it is a kind of shop window. That does detract from the atmosphere a little.

A first for us: we dined at Proeflokaal Bregje for the first time! And as far as we're concerned, it was a bullseye. The starters were an absolute 5-star experience, and the main courses complemented them perfectly. No one leaves here on an empty stomach, because the portions are generous. Thanks to the quiet Monday and the incredibly friendly staff, we had a wonderful evening. And all that for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Had a nice meal via Social Deal. The food was good and served quickly.

You can eat well here for the low price. There are multiple choices, and the etagere as a starter is a top choice. Furthermore, you shouldn't expect culinary masterpieces for this price, but it is certainly better than other restaurants in this price range. The service is very friendly and fast. The restaurant is nice inside, and the noise level is not too busy or loud.

Nice restaurant. Very busy though. Had to wait a long time for the food, but it was worth the wait. Dishes are also served nicely. Not expensive and yet very good.

For a very competitive menu price, the selection is surprisingly varied, and there is no skimping on presentation or service. Great food and equally good service.

Delicious food, definitely worth repeating.

With a group of 25, we enjoyed a delicious three-course dinner. The service was quick and good, and we didn't have to wait long for the food despite the large group. Highly recommended if you want to eat with a small or large group at a low price! The cocktails are also highly recommended.

The food was cold and disgusting, the service and quality were poor, and the staff unfriendly. I am not coming back here!

Normally, Google knows exactly where I’ve been and begs for reviews. Now, I’m ahead of that process because I’m eager to share my enthusiasm: I was given the responsibility of organizing a nice dinner for my work team, but (as is typical in the healthcare sector...) it couldn't get too extravagant, financially speaking. Bregje offers good packages, but what can you expect for the money? Considerably more than you pay. We provided our menu choices in advance, everything ran smoothly, no long waits, delicious food, a very good menu. Wow. A very pleasant experience. Kudos!

Very nice place, with a kind and welcoming staff... 👍

Had a nice meal with the family. Great value for money. Portions were a bit smaller, generously topped up with fries. Our stomachs are full enough, that's the most important thing. Fast service. For the little kids, it would have been nice if there had been some pencils and drawing sheets.

Just good value for the money you pay. Great value for money. The wine, however, was impossible to drink. Otherwise, nicely decorated.

It just keeps getting better. Good food for a reasonable price.

Reasonable food for a very good price, three courses for €20 per person, and drinks at "normal" prices. Friendly service, though there was a somewhat long wait between courses.

Delicious food, friendly people, sometimes a bit noisy.

Good food, and no absurd prices

This café was a pleasant surprise. The coffee was rich and perfectly made. I also had a slice of homemade cake, which was wonderfully fresh. The service was friendly and relaxed. The interior was cozy with comfortable seating. The background music was calm and atmospheric. It was a lovely place to relax. Definitely recommended.

Delicious food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask for, especially at this price?

Excellent price-quality ratio, friendly staff and nice manager.

There's a limited menu, but the food is good and tasty, and very affordable. A great combination.

Great place, service is very nice and the food is delicious!

The food itself was fine; it didn't take long, but it was a bit lukewarm, but that's okay. We both came home with stomach aches, but that's not necessarily because of the food. The staff was fine, they were okay, but when we arrived, they started chatting at the bar, which wasn't very professional. But what do you expect from a 16- or 17-year-old? I didn't have high expectations, as you pay €20 for a three-course meal. The food selection is mediocre, but that's due to the franchise.

Celebrated my birthday at Bregje's. It was a super fun evening! The food was tasty, the service was good, and they gave us a nice round table for 6 people. Great!

Well, we 60 plussers were put at the high tables, the mustard soup was lukewarm, ordering a beer took a long time, I think we forgot, the steak was a bit tough, dessert was good, but the cappuccino in a glass, a bit of a shame.

The food was not great, especially the meat, not tasty and certainly too little.

The food was surprisingly delicious. Creative dishes, flavorful, and above all, very affordable. Definitely worth a visit.

We had reserved for 5:00 PM and arrived at 4:50 PM. You cannot enter at that time. The door opened at 5:02 PM. Several people were already standing outside waiting. Not convenient, as it was terribly busy on the road and cold. The food was good and arrived quickly. (We had also ordered first.) We asked twice for ketchup instead of mayonnaise. Unfortunately, it never arrived. The toilet wasn't really very clean (check the schedules!). The service is a bit chaotic but friendly, and they seemed genuinely happy with the tip. All in all, perfectly fine for the price! It is also tastefully decorated but needs a few finishing touches. (The paintings were hanging very crookedly, wine glasses were not taken away but placed on another table, etc.)

We spontaneously walked into Bregje on a Saturday evening. There was still one table for two available—what luck! We hadn't eaten at one of Bregje's locations before. I must say, we were pleasantly surprised! For that price (22.95), a three-course set menu is not expensive! And the quality was really good too. We had a delicious meal! We had an Oriental trio: gratinated mushrooms, pork tenderloin, pulled chicken quesadillas, and for dessert: crème brûlée and chocolate dream. Great portions, beautifully presented, friendly service. It was quite full and the wait time was a bit on the long side, but we weren't in a hurry, so this isn't a problem. If you are in a bit of a hurry, they take this into account and the courses follow each other more quickly, as we saw at another table. One small downside: We were seated right next to the kitchen; this is a very noisy/unsettling place to sit. There is a lot of noise coming from the kitchen, and wait staff are constantly walking right past your table.

Had a delicious meal for a great price and good service :)

Had a delicious meal for only €20 for a 3-course menu!

What a surprise! Very friendly service, nice location, and excellent food for a great price! Lots of choices and options, highly recommended!

Delicious food, nice restaurant, affordable

A really nice and spacious place with a great atmosphere and friendly service in the heart of Leiden. Highly recommended!

Service was amazing and friendly, making up for our lack of Dutch. The food was delicious, well priced and had vegan options

Starter, main course, and dessert for a great price. Fresh ingredients, everything was delicious.

We had made a reservation in advance, and upon arrival, we received a friendly welcome. The table was beautifully set. Some, like me, had an appetizer, and it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the main course, and several others also enjoyed dessert, which was also appreciated. The decor was quite nice and it's a fairly large restaurant. Everything went smoothly, from drinks to service. This isn't a culinary highlight, food-wise, but the price-quality ratio is definitely excellent 👍. So, recommended.

Terrible Service , Disgusting toilet

Familiar concept. A good impression in Leiden too.

Beautiful location, price/quality is excellent.

Delicious! We'd never been here before, and it was fantastic, with very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered a hamburger from 't Bregje, after waiting an hour we got the burger, and it looked like a hamburger you can buy in a box from Aldi with a cheap slice of cheddar cheese and dessert was also disappointing, a cheesecake with no taste as if it had been in a display case all day and soggy fries and the service was confusing and rude.

Gereserveerd voor 3 personen. We werden aan een hoge tafel gezet. Bediende was erg onvriendelijk en draaide bij vragen met haar ogen. 1 van ons 3 heeft rugklachten waardoor we tijdens het hoofdgerecht gevraagd hebben of we een lagere tafel konden krijgen (hier zaten nog geen mensen aan). Het antwoord was meteen nee. Na doorvragen zou ze het gaan navragen. Alsnog was het antwoord nee. Gevraagd waarom niet aangezien de tafel vrij was en dat als er andere mensen kwamen deze ook aan een hoge tafel konden zitten. Na 2 min kwam ze terug en gaf aan jullie hebben geluk want er heeft net iemand afgezegd ga maar daar zitten. Maar jullie moeten wel zelf jullie spullen verplaatsen. Gevraagd of ze dan wel even de tafel schoon wilde maken zodat we de schone spullen van de lage tafel niet op onze vieze tafel hoefde te zetten voor eventuele volgende gasten. Bediende zei; ja als we tijd hebben. Erg onaardige en niet gastvrije bediende. Hierna werd er constant over ons gepraat, gekeken en gelachen.

Sad dessert... and uninterested waitress..

Had a nice evening. Service was quick and friendly. The food was also fine. Compared to Bregje Oegstgeest I found it a bit less. For example, there was a lot of sauce on the carpaccio (you have to like it). Nice evening out and good for the wallet.

The staff was extremely rude and the service was terrible. Someone threw a candle in the middle of our table and I think they were in a hurry because they slammed it down and ran away. My girlfriend asked for water but they didn't even look at her. I had to ask if they heard her order and then they brought it. I speak Dutch but my girlfriend is French. I spoke to the waitresses in English and they only answered in Dutch. This was extremely rude to my girlfriend. Angry looks during the whole service. On top of that it was an extremely disorganized service. Our reservation was from 5pm to 6:45pm and when we came in they said we were too early and had to come at 6:45pm. After the confusion was gone we ate and at 7pm they asked us if we wanted another drink and also that we had to leave. Twice by different people. I don't get why they both want us to order another drink but also leave. This is the worst restaurant experience of my life and I have been to many more casual restaurants. There was one waitress who was nice and smiled but she was an exception. I was embarrassed to have brought my girlfriend here with such bad service. The food was decent and I liked that there were many options.

The food was a bit lacking. Especially the salad, that could have been a lot better. Our drinks always took a very long time.

You can sit here in a casual atmosphere

Lovely food, efficient service, 3-course-menu at a good price.

3 course menu for not much money! The food was fine.

It was quiet but the service and food were delicious.

Upon entering we were immediately met by the waitress who showed us to our table. The Asian trio is definitely a recommended starter. Unfortunately, the burger was a little too sparsely filled, the primary taste was the meat. This certainly made up for the large bucket of fries we got with it. The dessert lived up to its name, as it was a real chocolate dream. I would definitely go here again, simple dishes for an acceptable price.

Very student friendly place. Delicious 3 course meal for 20–25 euros 😋

Went for dinner this week, it was busy which is logical on a Friday evening. We were placed at a high table, not our preference with a child, but a first time for everything. Unfortunately, due to the crowds, it took a little longer for the food to arrive. Starter 6.45 pm. Main course 20.05 . Fortunately, the quality was excellent as always and so was the service! Next time at the beginning of the week 😅 nice and quiet

Good meal, good that the staff speaks intelligible Dutch.

Bregje has no hospitality whatsoever. It's incomprehensible. But still! 5 stars!

Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent and affordable food!

Only drank: super delicious Merlot and Spanish Coffee. Nice and quiet. You can understand each other. Lots of space, large surface, lots of space between the tables. Super friendly

Recommended! 20 euros for a three-course dinner. That sounds too good to be true, but we had a delicious meal. Nice atmosphere and good service.

What a good price-quality ratio!!! Delicious food, lots of choice and for a nice price.

We learned about the restaurant thanks to the brochure left at home. Although we were not sure of its quality due to the prices, we decided to try it. Because they were serving 3 portions of food for the price of 1 portion. I'm glad we tried it. We were very pleased. Everything we ate was good. The staff is very attentive and friendly. There are vegetarian options for both the main course and the starter. From the table we were sitting at, we could also see how the chef was working in the semi-open kitchen. We recommend.

How we can get a three course dinner for 22,5 euro per person in the Netherlands is beyond me. It was a super great experience! Strongly recommend

Unfortunately, the price-quality ratio is really too low for vegetarians. You actually get mini dishes... I definitely recommend it for non-vegetarians.

Good food, friendly staff. Because the outside door was left open every time, it was cold.

Ate here at Christmas, food was tasty and friendly staff. Beautiful location of Bregje!

I had invited a cousin to eat in Leiden, and since I had previous experiences with Bregje in Dordrecht, I played it safe and booked a table online in Leiden. So I was already familiar with the friendly concept of three courses for 20 euros during the week. On weekends it is a bit more, I believe 22 euros. Since it is three courses, the portions are not large but enough. Also fries with the main course. The service was surprisingly smooth and more professional than in Dordt. The restaurant was quite busy early even though it was a Monday. The occasion is a bit less cozy, it was probably a shop because the glass facade and doors were still there. Was pulling on those doors but the entrance was next to it. Given the concept, they obviously have to make money on the drinks and extras. As a result, a total of more than 30 euros per person was lost.

Had een nicht uitgenodigd om in leiden te eten, en aangezien ik al eerdere ervaringen had met Bregje in Dordrecht op safe gespeeld en oline een tafel geboekt in Leiden . Ik was dus al bekend met het sympathieke concept van drie gangen voor 20 euro door de week. In het weekend is het wat meer ik geloof 22 euro. Aangezien het drie gangen zijn , zijn de porties niet groot maar genoeg. Ook frites bij het hoofdgerecht. De service verassend soepel meer meer professioneel dan in Dordt. Het restaurant was al vroeg redelijk druk ondanks het een maandag was . De gelegenheid is wel wat minder gezellig , waarschijnlijk een winkel geweest want de glazen pui met deuren zaten er nog in. Stond aan die deuren te trekken maar de ingang was ernaast . Gezien het concept moeten ze natuurlijk op de dranken verdienen en de extra's. Daardoor was in I. Totaal toch meer dan 30 euro pp kwijt .

We had a wonderful evening at Bregje Leiden. The food was great and not expensive. We were served quickly and friendly in an attractive restaurant. Recommended!

The food is excellent, the service is very nice and fast. It's a shame how few vegan options there are. There is no vegan option among the 8 desserts on the menu. If you ask, you can get a piece of sorbet ice cream. Boring and not nicely laid out. Too bad in a student city like Leiden!

What a terrible tent. Staff clearly not trained. I asked for cheese fondue with extra bell pepper instead of mushrooms, carrot and cherry tomato. I get 5 stalks of pepper and a sandwich. And when I ask why it is so little, I get an owlish face that you say to yourself. Cheese fondue was also not warm enough. Then the table next to me also gets a cheese fondue with a whole glass full of peppers and glasses full of the other vegetables, which I thought was very special. The burger had virtually no sauce. And the bao bun with pulled pork from the platter was just salty. And the chocolate dream was a chocolate nightmare. In addition, we waited at least 35 minutes for our desert without drinking. Empty glasses, empty plates and empty wine bottles are not seen and therefore not removed from the table. Dry mouth for half an hour and horrible staff who don't even look at us. Who trains these staff? Because please give these young girls some training. I have always had a good and enjoyable meal here. But this was really the last time. There was also no more beef tataki. Biggest disappointment.

Food was very good and quality price ratio perfect. Unfortunately we were seated at the back of the store next to two student groups of +/- 20 people per group that made a lot of noise. This makes it a bit less atmospheric. Employees were walking fast (unfortunately also passing the table instead of stopping to take a drink order, for example).

-Points: *Food was cold. *Tomato soup had evaporated *Beef tenderloin was pale after we had already had the starter and had already ordered it. *After the cold served fries, which seemed to have been warmed up for the second time, it turned out that there were no more fries, which made the puzzle pieces fall together. +Points: *The atmosphere and decor were good, everything looked neat, this was the only thing that was good by the way. It's scandalous when this happens to families who only have the opportunity to eat out once a year.

Tenderloin was finished, meat was dry, wrong hot sauce on the meat, burger was lukewarm, taco was lukewarm, tomato soup was a base of soup, and lukewarm, fries were cold, when asked if new fries could be made, the fries themselves turned out to be empty. to be. Then don't forget that the kitchen staff should perhaps wear clean clothes, not a tube that is completely dirty. A hair and beard net for the cook would be a little better and neater.

The quality-price ratio here is really excellent. The food is of good quality and there is plenty of choice. The service is also very fast and very friendly. We had to leave at a certain time, and they took this into account very carefully so that we could leave on time. We also had the spare ribs and they fell off the bone. The Dame Blanche and the crème brulee that we had also tasted very tasty. It's hard to find something good for those prices these days. Highly recommended to go!

Delicious food. 3 course menu for 19.95 (during the week). Sufficient choice. Allergies were also taken into account! Nice place for good and affordable food!

Nice selection of dishes in the menu, nice price, fast and friendly service, drink prices seem to be a bit high and maybe are the business model?

Wir waren am 18.10.24 mit Freunden zum Abendessen hier und sind heute noch total begeistert. Das 3-Gänge Menü war sehr lecker...wir hatten unterschiedliche Gerichte und es gab nichts auszusetzen. Als Beispiel: Ich hatte als Vorspeise Carpaccio vom Rind, als Hauptgang ein köstliches Lachsfilet...perfekt gegart, und zum Nachtisch Panna Cotta mit warmen Kirschen...mhhh!!! Ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für diese Qualität. Bitte unbedingt eine Platzreservierung vornehmen!

Large but attractive restaurant with fixed menu prices. It's crazy that this menu is cheaper during the week than at the weekend, but the concept is great. Quite tasty food, but few vegetables with the meal, so I ordered the salad as a side order. As so often, the service lacks alertness.

The menu is available for less than €20 and you can put it together yourself from various starters, main courses and desserts. Everything was very tasty and good portions.

Very tasty food. For €23 you can have a 3-course menu (excl. Drinks) during the weekend that you can put together yourself. Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.

Good value for money with tasty food. The atmosphere in the restaurant in the evening is cozy and the employees are friendly.

Really nice place. Price also very good. It is beautiful done up. Looks great. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food, it took a while before we got our (first round) of drinks. But the tasting for 2 is definitely recommended!

Nice and above all affordable restaurant in the center of Leiden. excellent food and service and all for a nice price. comfortably furnished, highly recommended.

Well-known three-course restaurant for a fixed price. Quality and quantity are fine. Service could be better, after waiting 20 minutes and a hint further the order was finally taken. The (lukewarm) starter was served 50 minutes after arrival. The time between clearing and the hallways takes too long. After three hours and fifteen minutes we were finally able to leave the building. But luckily the food was tasty.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants delicious food for not too much money. For €22.00 including tip, a starter (carpaccio), main course (pork tenderloin skewers, fries and salad) and dessert (New York cheesecake), 2 soft drinks and a cup of tea. And it was quite full, despite it being a Tuesday evening.

Hier met zijn tweeen wezen eten en het eerste wat opvalt zijn de prijzen. De prijzen zijn nog normaal gebleven vergeleken met de prijzen van andere restaurants. Hier kan je nog voor een schappelijke prijs een heerlijk 3 gangen menu nemen. De porties zijn wat klein, maar voor de prijs krijg je echt waard voor je geld. De smaak is ook meer dan prima te noemen en de service en sfeer zijn ook dikke prima. Wij gaan hier nog wel vaker eten!

Went here for dinner as a couple and the first thing we noticed were the prices. The prices have remained normal compared to the prices of other restaurants. Here you can have a delicious 3-course menu for a reasonable price. The portions are a bit small, but for the price you really get your money's worth. The taste is also more than excellent and the service and atmosphere are also excellent. We will eat here more often!

What a good concept! Makes eating out affordable and the extensive and changing menu means there is plenty of choice. Staff super friendly and attentive. Air conditioning was turned down in our part of the restaurant because we were getting cold.

We have lived less than a 5-minute walk away for years, but had never been there. Just no interest. But yesterday we thought, 'Oh well, who knows.' How incredibly stupid that we haven't been there before! Nice tent, friendly staff, excellent cuisine! We have a new favorite tent in the Breestraat.

Top restaurant with nice service.
