Leiden at the Table — 516 gastro places across 9 subtypes
This report is a map-first directory drawn from Localinar's per-city dataset for Leiden (version 1.0, 2026-06-28, 2,417 total entities). Every figure on this page is either a count, a coordinate, or a name pulled directly from the dataset. There are no ratings, no prices, no opening hours and no quality judgements — only what the dataset actually contains. Coverage varies — some businesses may not yet be on our map.
A 7.4 × 6.8 km footprint at ~10.36 places per km²
The 516 gastro entities sit inside a bounding box that stretches from lat 52.132555 to 52.198981 (north–south) and from lon 4.450265 to 4.549478 (east–west). That is roughly 7.37 km north-to-south by 6.75 km east-to-west — and within that footprint the dataset carries an approximate density of 10.36 gastro places per square kilometre. That density figure is computed over the simple bounding-box rectangle (~49.8 km²) and overstates dispersion: the true distribution is heavily concentrated in the city centre.
lat 52.132555 → 52.198981 (~7.37 km N–S)
lon 4.450265 → 4.549478 (~6.75 km E–W)
density ~10.36 entities / km²
The footprint extends beyond the City of Leiden proper: max latitude 52.198981 reaches the Warmond area (e.g., Bourgondie in Warmond), and parts of the perimeter extend into Oegstgeest and Zoeterwoude. Treat the dataset as "Leiden and immediate surroundings", not the municipality boundary strictly. Leiden's official ten wijken are present as district labels on 97.85% of all entities: Binnenstad-Noord, Binnenstad-Zuid, Roodenburgerdistrict, Bos- en Gasthuisdistrict, Merenwijkdistrict, Stationsdistrict, Boerhaavedistrict, Morsdistrict, Leiden-Noord and Stevenshofdistrict.

Brewery 1 — a single dedicated brewery in the dataset
The smallest gastro subtype by count. Counts are keyword-matches against the subtype label — so a brewery tagged as "Pub" or "Restaurant" in the Localinar dataset would not appear here.
What this dataset does not cover
Plainly: the gastro directory is an inventory of places, not a guidebook. The fields below are absent from every entry. Treat the limits as the boundary of an inventory, not a defect.
Cuisine is not a field. Anna et Fred (subtype: Restaurant), Aperitivo (subtype: Restaurant) and Argentijns Restaurant El Fierro (subtype: Restaurant) all sit inside the same Restaurant bucket of 195 entries. There is no single-bucket cuisine split.
Partnership is a flag, not a contract. The dataset carries a Yes/No-style partnership marker — in the gastro subset relevant here, the only observed value is "No". No contract terms, fees, or partner-onboarding dates are exposed.
And, listed verbatim, these are the data caveats that apply to this report:
- Dataset contains only structural fields (name, category, subcategory in English/Dutch, coordinates, partnership flag, optional url, optional district, rare detail strings). No opening hours, opening dates, prices, ratings, review counts, employee counts, capacity, cuisine tags, dietary flags, payment methods, or contact details are present.
- Subcategorization is single-label per entity (one
subvalue). A pizzeria is filed underFast Food, an ice-cream parlour underIce Cream, etc.; no multi-tag taxonomy is available. - Keyword filter matches against
subandsubEnfields only (not onname). Names like 'Café Frank' or 'Pizzeria Azzurro' are captured because their subcategory contains a target keyword, not because of the name. - One false-positive class was filtered out: entries with
subEn= 'Public Library' (sub = 'Bibliotheek') match the literal substring 'pub' inside 'Public' but are libraries, not pubs. 1 entity removed on this basis (BPlusC Bibliotheek Nieuwstraat). - Subcategory
Bar(11 entries) maps to drinking establishments; the dataset has no separatesnack-bar/juice bar/coffee bardistinction. Some venues filed asBar(e.g., COC Leiden) are community/social venues with a bar function. - Subcategory
Delicatessen(12 entries) blends prepared-food shops, cheesemongers, oil/vinegar speciality shops, and traiteur-style outlets; it is not exclusively sit-down gastronomy. - Subcategory
Fast Food(113 entries) is broad and includes pizzerias, kebab/shawarma, broodjeszaken (sandwich shops), Asian takeaway, and snackbars (frituur-style). No further breakdown by cuisine is provided in the dataset. - Coordinates are precise to ~6 decimals (sub-metre nominal), but the dataset does not state a positional accuracy or geocoding source. 18 of 2417 entities (0.7%) are missing lat/lon entirely; all 516 gastro matches do have coordinates.
- Bounding box spans beyond the City of Leiden proper: max latitude 52.198981 (Warmond area, e.g., Bourgondie in Warmond) and parts of the perimeter extend into Oegstgeest and Zoeterwoude. Treat the dataset as 'Leiden and immediate surroundings', not the municipality boundary strictly.
- Density of 10.36 gastro entities per km² is computed over the simple bounding-box rectangle (~49.8 km²) and overstates dispersion: the true distribution is heavily concentrated in Binnenstad-Noord and Binnenstad-Zuid (city centre) — see district counts.
partnershipis present on 100% of entities but its only observed value in the gastro subset relevant here is 'No' (no information on commercial partnerships or sponsored placements is exposed).
How these counts were derived
Counts are derived from the Localinar entity database for Leiden as of 2026-06-28. The snapshot used here is the Localinar dataset (version 1.0, 2026-06-28), containing 2,417 entities. Subtype labels come from our standardised taxonomy.
- Each entity carries a name, a top-level category, a Dutch subtype (
sub), an English subtype (subEn), and a partnership flag. In the gastro subset, the Dutch and English subtype strings are identical English-language values (e.g., both "Restaurant"). Coordinates are present on 2,399 of 2,417 entries; all 516 gastro matches have coordinates. - Subtype counts are derived by string-matching keywords against the subtype labels — e.g. the Brewery count of 1 matches the keyword "brewery". This means an entity labelled "Pub" in the dataset would not be counted in Brewery even if it brews on-site.
- Top-level Food & Hospitality totals 589; the gastro layer reported here is 516 entities (515 from Food & Hospitality plus 1 brewery, Pronck, filed under Commercial & Retail).
- Coverage varies — some businesses may not yet be on our map. Free-text descriptions are present on only 18 of 2,417 entries (0.7%).
- Leiden's district field applies to entities inside the ten official wijken. 97.85% of entities carry a district label; some peripheral entities (e.g. in Warmond, Oegstgeest, Zoeterwoude) carry no district value — this is a known property of the dataset, not a derivation error.
