A Thursday evening in Leyden

kir royale to start with and sitting at the waterfront (Bord'O)

Thursday, 16 July we had a lovely dinner at restaurant Bord'O in Leyden. This was my first time there and Peter's second.
The weather was nice when we arrived (on our bikes) and we settled outside on the terrace at the waterfront with an aperitif. Also the appetizers and the first course we had outside, but then it started raining and we had to continue inside the restaurant.
I loved the food, the wine (a lot of wines we recognized as they are from Brand and La Bordelaise, two wineshops in Leyden we frequently visit), the atmosphere, the friendly service and the personal attention of the chef. We will come back for sure, at this moment this is definitely our fav restaurant in Leyden. Some photos:

One of the 'friandises', a salted caramel, that accompanied the espresso coffee, was sooo yummie so I asked for one more  ^-^  

When we cycled home it started to rain and we fled into the new cafe De Waag in Leyden. This monumental building in the middle of town has been renovated and refurbished very nicely. It's worth a visit. Couldn't stop making photo's.
It was a lovely evening we enjoyed muchly!
