At this time of the year, you are going out again. Talking about cravings: if you feel like having lunch in the center of Dordrecht, we give you five delicious tips. Because even though you think you know the city inside out, you may not know these lunch gems and you should definitely not miss them!
Cozy living room atmosphere
One of the addresses where you can have a nice lunch is Stadshotel Steegoverslootbecause in the center, in a listed building, is the patisserie-bakery and lunchroom of Christa's. You feel a wonderful old-fashioned yet contemporary living room atmosphere there. While just walking in, but also if you want to have a private lunch with a group, because Stadshotel Steegoversloot has a separate 'gentlemen's room' in ditto style: an old monumental room. Enjoy homemade pastries, a soup, sandwich or salad or go for a generous sandwich on sourdough bread. Choice stress? Have a drinks board with all kinds of goodies! More and more people are discovering lunch at Christa's. A lot of traffic is expected for this spring as well, if only for the local products. Such as flour from the mill, wines from a Dordrecht wine shop and cheese and nuts from the market. The restaurant tries to work locally as much as possible, with fresh products that do not come from far away but rather from nearby. And you can taste that!
Understanding in Dordrecht
Restaurant De Klander Muelen can be called a household name in Dordrecht. It has a bit of everything, including lunch. You can order lunch dishes until 5 p.m., so even for a late lunch you are literally and figuratively right here. The menu is very variable. Whatever is on it: they are all trendy dishes of today. Take a toasted sandwich with focaccia bread or sharing dishes: smaller dishes to share. Loaded fries, chicken pops, De Klander Muelen moves with the times and you can taste that during lunch. Of course you can also go there for the classic twelve o'clock or a pancake. Eat in the cozy indoor space, or on the covered terrace. There is also an outdoor terrace for when spring really comes through. If not yet, have lunch on the covered terrace cozy with heaters. You see: whatever the weather, De Klander Muelen is a great place to be, since 1976!
Lunch in a beautiful garden
That works out perfectly: the beautiful, brand-new garden at Stadsbrasserie De Witt is all set for spring! Here, you can enjoy your lunch in all its glory. But that’s not all: both indoors and outdoors, it’s all about the experience. Seven days a week, whether or not you combine it with a trip to the movies. Movies often start as early as 2:00 p.m., so after lunch, you can head straight to the theater. The lunch menu offers a wide selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options, including sandwiches and smaller dishes. You can also create your own combo. For example, try the mezze: the trend of the moment. This large platter, available in cold or hot versions, features a selection of small dishes, sandwiches, and salad. It’s a great choice if you want to be surprised or if you simply can’t decide. Pair it with one of the twelve different beers on tap, or choose a glass of wine from the extensive selection of natural wines produced using sustainable, natural methods.
Enjoying comfort food
Looking for an extensive lunch menu? Then visit Het Magazijn restaurant ! From simple dishes for kids to sandwiches, there’s plenty to choose from, including dinner options for when you’re really hungry. The classic sandwich is disappearing from menus more and more often, making way for a true dining experience, as this Dordrecht restaurant has noticed. There’s nothing better than a leisurely lunch where you can enjoy good company and delicious food. And what’s really fun is sharing during lunch. At Het Magazijn, you can easily share finger foods, which often have an Asian twist. With this so-called comfort food, you can enjoy a dish together, making the experience even more special. Wash it down with a nice, refreshing lemonade—homemade, no less! You can eat inside, but if the spring weather is nice, feel free to have lunch outside in the city garden on the terrace.
A Celebration of Recognition!
Have lunch in an industrial atmosphere: you can at Broodcafé Jaap! You'll be amazed, because everything breathes vintage and industrial. Broodcafé Jaap is not a standard lunchroom, because you get a real experience that you will not easily forget. It is a feast of recognition with all kinds of items from the past and things worth admiring. Lunch is served from old crockery. It's a motley collection, but it's well thought out by the owners of Broodcafé Jaap. Jaap makes his own sourdough bread, for a well-filled sandwich. No croquettes and fried eggs at this Dordt establishment, but sandwiches that are just that little bit different. The tuna salad is a hit, as is a brie sandwich. Fish, vegan, meat, there is something for everyone on the summer and winter menu with a separate list of seasonal sandwiches. In the summer, sandwiches with cold toppings and salads do well, so if you want something refreshing, you're in the right place at Broodcafé Jaap.
