For years, ‘t Feithhuis city café and restaurant has been the meeting-place for inhabitants and visitors to the city of Groningen. Located in the very heart of the city centre and near the Martini tower and Grote Markt square, ’t Feithhuis provides every option for a delicious breakfast, lunch, gathering or dinner. With the versatile offer of packages, ’t Feithhuis is the perfect location for weddings, celebrating a conferring or holding a company event. Historic and futuristic, classic and modern, regional and mondaine; these apparent contrasts come together in ’t Feithhuis. The old building with its modern design is just one example of this, as is the menu, which also includes ‘forgotten’ Dutch vegetables and preparations with a contemporary interpretation. Responsibly caught fish from remote compass points can be combined perfectly with regional products. Opening hours Monday through Sunday from 10.30 am until 10.30 pm  

Hotel Boschhuis is hidden in the greenery at the end of a very old beech lane, and was originally established as a beer house and brewery for the benefit of the mediaeval Holy Cross Brothers monastery, dating from 1464, and located opposite the hotel. The view from the leafy terrace is the variation of the changing of the seasons. This wonderful environment provides many opportunities for hiking, cycling and other types of recreation. The mediaeval monastery and stately beeches have remained unchanged and the 15th century monastery and herb garden are open to visitors. Hotel Boschhuis has been a hospitable address for travellers, holiday-makers, business people, and various events for over 100 years.

Buckshot Café opened its doors on 15 October 1999. Owners Maarten Burger and Marc Groenewoud run two floors with two bars and two different ambiances. The ground floor has a relaxed atmosphere, where guests see what they are doing and hear what they are saying, while on the first floor you can easily imagine yourself in the 1970s or 1980s. Music is important to us, so we play the latest jazz, soul, funk, jazz dance, nu jazz, lounge, funk, fusion and jazz rock, and every Sunday there is live music on the ground floor stage. We hold Buckshot Specials on a regular basis: special evenings featuring special music. Refer to the concert calender  for dates of live music and specials.

The Grand Café Groningen is located at the Gedempte Zuiderdiep 56 in a stunning 19thcentury building that was once owned by the Steenkolen Handels Vereeniging (coal trading association). Where possible, we use regional and sustainable products, ecological if possible and low in food miles, which is better for people and the environment, and for our beautiful province. We are open 7 days a week for a delicious cup of coffee with homemade cake, a lovely lunch, a high tea, a good glass of wine or a delicious meal. Inquire about our options for gatherings, parties and celebrations. See you in Groningen!

Time Out is a company with history. Since 1976, the Jager family has been welcoming their guests in the Poelestraat in Groningen city centre, which makes Time Out a well known address where people love to return. After the last expansion in March 2007, Eetcafé Time Out is now Grand Café Time Out. This is the place to enjoy your lunch, drink or dinner in an informal atmosphere, sometimes even with some dancing.
