Food and drinks

Restaurant chain Humphrey’s northernmost establishment is located at the Vismarkt in the very heart of the city, a ten-minute walk from the station, and is where Groningen’s well-known fresh food market takes place every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. The restaurant seats 300 people and has a special room for large groups. Humphrey’s interior has been selected with care, there is a warm and friendly atmosphere and its specialty is the formula consisting of a three-course menu for a fixed price: choose from six first courses, six main courses and six desserts. Quality at a very reasonable price.

For 90 years, this has been the ultimate place to be for a delicious glass of (speciality) beer, wine or a chat. See for yourself why this café was elected the best café in the Netherlands. The Wolthoorn is a very special venue that cherishes traditions and quality, and proper hospitality ensures people have the best time. Also take the time to note the other guests and the fascinating paintings and memorabilia on the walls. The Wolthoorn is the perfect place if you have something to celebrate. The attractive room in the back is large enough for a considerable group and snug for a lovely gathering.
