All day lunch in Dordrecht

Where in Dordrecht should you really stop for lunch, even if you’ve just eaten? With these tips, you’ll be having lunch all day long. 

No. 38 City Bakery Cafe
After wandering around the Dordrecht market in the morning, you can put your feet up at No. 38 City Bakery Cafe. In the monumental building in the city’s historic center, you can have lunch with a healthy sourdough sandwich or a thick slice of cake fresh from the oven. Is the sun shining and are you not tired of the market bustle yet? Then claim a spot on the terrace.

Visser’s Poffertjes
Poffertjes? Isn’t that more something for the fairground? Well, no. In Dordrecht, Visser’s poffertjes restaurant on Groenmarkt has been a household name since 1932. And okay… before that, the Visser family traveled across the country, visiting fairs and street festivals. Now they serve their famous poffertjes in just one place in the country: here in Dordrecht.

Have you tried the vegan pizza yet?

Daantje food and drinks
The vegan lunches at Daantje are a treat even for die-hard meat eaters. Go for a sandwich with homemade cashew brie. More of a burger person? The famous seaweed burger is on the menu here. Going for a salad? Then try the purple rain. Preferably in the sunshine in the garden behind the lunch café. Enjoy!

Broodcafé Jaap
Johan de Wittstraat. Even the name sounds artisanal and authentic. So the lunch cafés on this street can’t be anything but the same. In any case, Broodcafé Jaap is. Besides fresh bread, they also serve homemade soup (with Jaap’s breadsticks, of course). Thoughtful: Jaap always lets people know when he’s going skiing for a week or going on vacation.

Villa Augustus
Just outside the city center, Villa Augustus is situated in the middle of a vegetable garden. The garden inspires the kitchen: all the vegetables, fruit and herbs go straight to the chefs and end up on your plate. The menu features a limited number of dishes that change with the seasons. More than enough reason to sit down for lunch at least four times a year.

Art & Dining
A restaurant located in an artistic setting: the Dordrechts Museum. The restaurant has a huge conservatory and a beautiful museum garden. Inside, you can see a changing selection from the museum’s collection. But once lunch is served, we no longer pay attention to that. Art & Dining once won the hospitality trophy for best restaurant in Dordrecht. So this is where you dine in style. Think: grilled scallop, pumpkin textures with basil foam.
