🇳🇱 Leiden's Hidden Spanish Gem: Paella Worth the Hype! 🥘✨
Restaurant: La Plancha Spaans Restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ 📍 Near Leiden Central (basically behind National Museum of Ethnology) 🍽️ What We Ordered 🥘 Mixed Paella (Chicken + Seafood) Classic saffron flavor (no overpowering spices!) Fresh ingredients—definitely not pre-made (no crazy saltiness!) Perfectly cooked rice with socarrat (that crispy bottom!) 👌 🥔 Tortilla Española (Tapas ) Goldilocks texture—not too starchy, not too eggy! 🌟 Vibe Check Cozy family-run vibe 🏠 (staff chatting & laughing—way friendlier than Amsterdam spots!) Sunny terrace seats ☀️ (great for people-watching) No reservation needed—just walk in! Surprise find in Leiden’s small dining scene! And for the price? Total steal. 💰 #LeidenEats #SpanishFood #PaellaLover #DutchFoodie #HiddenGems #TravelNetherlands
