Oosterstraat
Quality and classics in national monuments
The shopping street connecting Grote Markt and Rademarkt is a succession of national monuments. You can shop for fashion, lifestyle and home trends in these beautiful buildings. Fancy a drink or a bite to eat? On Oosterstraat, you can do it 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Quality first
What stands out when you walk past the shop windows here? Homegrown quality is paramount on Oosterstraat. For years and years, people have come from afar for Kaashandel van der Leij and hat shop H. Witting & Son. Newer are several shops that combine modern lifestyle and fashion in a surprising way. At BIEN, for example, a concept store with an industrial look and a Scandinavian touch. Or drop in at KOKOTOKO. Almost the entire range is fair trade and organic certified.
Living day and night
If you want, you can spend a day on Oosterstraat without getting bored. Start your day with a sandwich and enjoy the afternoon with a drink in a café. In the evening, have a delicious meal at Mexican restaurant Four Rose's, Korean restaurant Konbu or Vive la Vie. Later in the evening, stand with a beer in your hand enjoying an alternative concert at pop venue Vera, sip a cocktail at The Stockroom or play a game at The Game Box. The night tempts you with a croquette from the wall or a kebab sandwich. Here, the city lives without pause.
