Fodor's Review:

Evoking a sense of timeless classicism along a strip that is decidedly middle-of-the-road, De Roode Leeuw has red banquettes, dark paneling, and romantic lighting. It has the city's oldest heated terrace—a good place to enjoy a selection from the impressive champagne list. You'll find poshed-up native fare served here, be it eel (caught fresh from the nearby IJsselmeer before being stewed) in a creamy herb sauce, or Zeeland mussels steamed and served with french fries and salad. Besides attracting passing tourists, the restaurant has also built up a sizable local following ever since it received the coveted Neerlands Dis (Netherlands' Dish) award.
