Annie's Verjaardag
Leiden, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Annie's Verjaardag sits right on the Leiden canal at Hoogstraat, and has been feeding students and professors for over forty years. The menu is written on a chalkboard each day and follows the season, the portions are famously large, and the pouring is generous — a combination that made it a Leiden institution rather than merely a good restaurant. Mains land around €20. In summer the waterside terrace is the whole point; the rest of the year the room does the work. Four decades of student generations have passed through, and the trick has always been the same: everyone is treated like a regular by the second visit.
