Ristorante Va Bene

Va Bene is a restaurant run by Sicilians and it is not surprising that the menu is based on Sicilian cuisine. But not exclusively, other Italian classics are here on the menu as well. At the end of the evenings, there is often live music which is performed by the friendly staff itself. It’s always busy, especially at weekends, so reservations are necessary.

Het Wapen van Voorschoten

Het Wapen van Voorschoten might seem more of a bar than a restaurant. Here, for example, you eat a satay or a piece of meat, with chips and salad. It’s always busy here. In the attached cafe it’s busy until late, especially on weekends and during the jam sessions (once a month), you can have a pleasant evening here.
