I definitely recommend Café Hooghoudt as a place to go for a dinner or simply for a coffee. I have…read morebeen there couple of times and always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Last time I have ordered a delicious goat cheese salad. As for a dessert part, I am in love with their brownie!

It doens't matter, how you reach Elahuizen on the southeast coast of Fluessen, wheter it is by…read morebile, car or boat - make sure to stop by de Nieuwe Melkfabriek. The Location itself is somewhat hidden, but if you stop near the Watersportcentrum, you'll spot the signs. There is a terrace on the harbour and a small restaurant upstairs. The restaurant features a cosy, rural interior, just on the border between rural and trendy. There are only four tables sitting 4-6 each. The menu is small, too, but contain quite a good choice of different dishes: Burger, Ribs, Soup, Salad, Fish (mussels) We had the XXL Burger, Mussels, a Cesar Salad and a spicy tomato soup - all fresh made and tasting really great. During daytime, there is a small menu of smaller dishes (pancakes, toasts, soups, frikandel, etc.) for the terrace. The price level is not the lowest. Main courses range from 15 to 25 EUR. But from my point of view is the money well spend!

While visiting Groningen on a Wednesday, we walked into the place expecting a good cup of coffee…read more What we got was a pour-over, liquid cup of Columbian gold served in a small glass pitcher on a tray with two cups, served by the friendly owner of the store, Gerben. The atmosphere was very relaxed, due to the semi-strict no-laptop policy maintained mostly on the weekends. "You don't need wifi to enjoy a good cup of coffee," is found on the menu and shows the effort that is made to keep the place open to those who come for the coffee, not to those who work on a laptop while thoughtlessly pouring liquid productivity down their throats. It's basically to keep the place from turning into Starbucks. All things considered, as soon as I come back to Groningen, I will visit this place again as I know that both the coffee and the atmosphere will be excellent, and that's all I need.
