The Hooykist in Leiden is the oldest eat cafe which would most easily be translated to a small cozy restaurant. It opened on the 27th of February 1980 on Hooigracht 49, the street where it still stands to this day. Enjoyable music can be heard while enjoying a typical dutch meal and a relaxing atmosphere. On certain days, there are specific dishes served for only 7,50 euros. Tonight the special dish will be the famous Dutch hutspot; mashed potatoes and carrots. With the weather beginning to get colder, this dish is a perfect way to warm you up and satisfy your hunger. Not to mention, with the economical and financial crisis that is hitting all of us, you can't beat a meal for 7,50.
