Stadscafé van der Werff

Stadscafé van der Werff is located in the heart of Leiden and forms the link between the historic centre and the Central Station.
Less than two hundred meters from Central Station is the city café Van der Werff, issued after the famous mayor who offered his arm to the starving city. Van der Werff is not a city café for nothing: it is the place where the city comes together, every day of the week and almost all hours of the day.

Stadscafé Van der Werff forms the gateway to the old city center and is for many the starting and ending point of a wonderful day in Leiden. Van der Werff is open every day from early in the morning until late at night. It offers a place to guests who need a cup of fresh coffee, but also to friends who want to have lunch or dinner. Every season the chef puts together a new menu, which includes simple but culinary dishes that are prepared with care. Because in Van der Werff no one is seen as a passer-by. Every guest gets equal attention.
For large groups we have more than enough space in our Tuinkamer! This is the room in the back of our restaurant, with a view on the canals and our own garden. Many a party has been celebrated here, to celebrate all the beautiful moments in life. The maximum capacity of the Tuinkamer for (a sitting) lunch or diner is 55 guests. If you are coming over drinks, you can invite at least double the guests! In the entire restaurant, there is a capacity of 150 guests to lunch or dine, and double that number again if you want to celebrate one big party. Voor grote groepen hebben wij ook genoeg plek in onze Tuinkamer! Dit is de ruimte achter in ons restaurant, met uitzicht op de gracht en een eigen tuin. Everything gets taken care of into the details, because we love to be together as people used to.
