The story
Café de Gaper, at Rapenburg 97 in Leiden, serves modern French and international food and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, the guide's mark for good quality, good value cooking.
The house motto is "local, cozy, full of flavor." The idea is simple: eat and drink what you want, the way you want it, with no fuss. The menu moves between a modern French kitchen and international dishes. Gault&Millau gave it 12 points in 2026.
The café's own line is "quality on your plate, stories in your glass," and its website gives the wine list a page of its own. There is outdoor seating for when the weather allows.
