Restaurants and cafés in Groningen

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.

Brussels Lof is a unique restaurant in the city center of Groningen.  We serve cheese fondue and fresh fish and vegetarian dishes, together with seasonal vegetables. Our goal is to offer our guests a low-key stay in Brussels Lof with of course tasty food and matching wines. 

In the lee of the center you will find our atmospheric, carefully decorated restaurant. Eating out at Pim and Marieke is enjoying the 5 of Pim. Five favorite dishes of this moment prepared with the finest products of the season. Marieke likes to spoil you with personal attention and a good glass of wine. In the summer between the flowers on our terrace, you imagine yourself in France.  We would like to surprise you and look forward to your arrival! Pim & Marieke

Experience that island feeling at the mainland! At the farthest tip of The Netherlands is the tourist village of Pieterburen, where walking the mudflats once originated. In addition, the well-known Pieterburen Zeehondencentrum (seal sanctuary) is located in the village and it is an easy operating base for a visit to the islands of Schiermonnikoog and Borkum. The comfortable Hotel Waddenweelde is the official starting point of the Pieterpad. Walks across the mudflats are held on a daily basis and the hotel has various facilities, such as two à la carte restaurants (one of which is located in Lauwersoog, with a wonderful view of the Wadden Sea and Lauwersmeer lake), a grand café and a pizzeria. If you are looking for some relaxation during your stay, go to the Waddenwellness bathhouse with a swimming pool and a sauna; pure indulgence after a brisk walk across the mudflats. And the children are sure to jump in the air for joy in the playground of no less than 2500 m² or a ride on the kart track!

For years, ‘t Feithhuis city café and restaurant has been the meeting-place for inhabitants and visitors to the city of Groningen.

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.
