We booked for a group. We could order after a long wait. On the menu there were only few dishes. After ordering, the waitress told that two main courses were out. She collected the options again. Some of us assumed that they only must change/confirm the main course. When the food (well prepared and acceptable in taste) was finally served, they did not receive the starter ordered in the first round of ordering. When booking, we had found no information about any payment restrictions for groups (https://puurleiden.nl/groepen/). We needed to pay by card getting individual receipts. They refused. After much negotiation, they accepted individual payments, but without giving us individual tax receipts and simply splitting the total equally. The restaurant's website says that groups of 8 or more pay €39.50 for three courses (https://puurleiden.nl/groepen). Most of us only had one course. Each of us paid €57.79. We booked for 15, but were 14. They billed for 15. A very negative experience.

Good restaurant in Leiden. Some plates (starters/ entrees ) more savorous than others (main).

My wife and I day tripped to Leiden from Amsterdam. Passing down the narrow alley Pieterskerk-Choorsteeg between Pieterskerk and the Stadhuis plaza we noticed the restaurant Puur, and decided to stay in Leiden for dinner there. The restaurant opens at 5 p.m. and we were the first guests, although many others soon followed. Our hostess, Virginia, was delightful and most accommodating. She gave us a window table on the alley and took our drink and dinner orders, despite her cast on a broken right arm from a recent accident. She recommended a Romanian white wine (described both as Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc) which was perfect with our meal. My wife started with a scallops dish which had a heavenly sauce with traces of vanilla. I had a large smoked salmon sushi (with an incredibly seasoned rice base) and with a mild wasabi sauce that was perfect. Both dishes were delivered to our table by the Chef, Cooke, who attended to us through out the meal. For main dishes, my wife had halibut, again in a very delicious sauce, and I had risotto with vegetables and prawns. The risotto sauce was like no other I have had. Together with bread, water, mint tea and Remy Martin cognac, the bill was 127 euro, a real bargain. After returning to Amsterdam I looked at the reviews for the restaurant on Trip Advisor. I cannot understand the couple of recent negative reviews— unless they were malicious feints. Puur is a gem of a restaurant which I will recommend unreservedly.

It was a nice dinner however service took a while and the food came really quick when ordered. Food was nice but didnt feel particuarly special to other places. We had 30% off with the food so with that the cost of dinner was good. It didnt wow us to go back.

This is our fifth dinner at Puur. Food quality is amazing, great ambience and location. Only one disappointing point that our favourite dish coquilles were excluded from Fork discount without any warning on the website. We always order this starter and it felt like it was excluded from the promotion only for us. Despite that it's definitely our favourite restaurant in the old city of Leiden. We will be back!

Dear, we always like to see you come back and are always happy with you as a guest! Unfortunately, the scallops are a too expensive a dish to give a discount. Of course, that also applies to everyone. Until next time, we look forward to it. kind regards, Kok & Virginia

It was a slow start with many things going wrong. However, the waitress was trying her best to make our evening enjoyable. We had a bit of the feeling that we were dining in the Faulty Towers ????. Regarding food we could praise fish dishes, especially coquilles and heilbot, highly recommended. The black Angus steak was very good in taste but tough and chewy. All in all it was a great experience. We will be back!

We had a lovely time. The food and wine were great. The rillette starter was especially tasty. One item: you serve milk-free ice cream. My wife indicated that she's lactose free, but the ice cream was served with whipped cream. It's important to make these connections when a customer mentions them.

The service was in principle good, just it seemed they were understaffed so it was a bit slower (dishes not taken away as fast, slow for waitress to come by etc). For the rest, food was delicious, very able to cater to vegan needs. Friendly staff.
