Explore Leiden during Lunchtime

It would be a shame not to include the beautiful and ancient city centre of Leiden in our ICAS 11 programme. Besides having the panel sessions and various exhibitions in different buildings across the city centre, we are also working together with different lunchrooms and restaurants in the city centre offering participants special ICAS lunch deals of around €10. These selected restaurants can easily be recognised by the ICAS 11 flag in front of their building. We encourage everyone to explore Leiden with its enchanting streets while looking for a place to eat. Let yourself be tempted by the delicious and various lunch options that Leiden offers.
 

ICAS 11 Lunch Recommendations

Food and Cultural Market, Pieterskerkplein
At the heart of the ICAS 11 area lies the Pieterskerkplein (Peter’s Church Square), where you will find our Food and Cultural Market. At this market, especially organised for ICAS, but open to the public as well, you will be able to enjoy dishes from the Dutch and Asian cuisines, and be entertained and informed by a number of artisans demonstrating age old Dutch traditions, such as clog crafting, liquorice making and ‘ship in bottle’ building. There will be musical acts such as a vinyl DJ on a bakfiets.

The market will be operational on 16 July from 11.00-16.00, and on 17-19 July from 12.00-20.00. This means that you can have lunch and dinner at the market, or at least a drink after the last panel, which ends at 18.45.
