Den Bosch is the bomb and here you eat, drink and sleep
It might have been because we went the weekend before the eleventh of the eleventh, and then Den Bosch is pretty much the epicenter of all coziness. But I was at our annual girlfriends' weekend and suddenly I wanted to live in the city. It's just a bit inconvenient during rush hour, but otherwise... I gathered some addresses for you, so you have an excuse to go yourself.
Breakfast at Eetbar DIT
This is a classic, because I already wrote about it once, but DIT remains fun. Because you can tick off on the breakfast menu whether you want a glass of cava with your (optionally vegan) sausage roll or prefer the morning after.
Boutiques on Snellestraat
After DIT, you can stroll along the nicest shops on Snellestraat, you'll be busy for an hour and if you're not careful, you'll spend your budget in one breath, because everything is so tempting.
Lunch at Pizzabar DEEG
In Den Bosch, you can have lunch with pizza. You do this at DEEG and definitely order the Venkeltje and a Green Peace, because they share so well. The soup is also the best tomato soup in the country, which I think is quite impressive for a pizzeria.
Stop by KOEKWAUS
One of the nicest shops in Den Bosch run by sisters Laura and Marlou. You can shop for a nice dress, but also a blanket to hide under on the couch and those (oh so cool, I'm still annoyed I didn't buy them) boots from TD Leather or a print for the wall.
Shopping at your favorites
From jars for your herbs and a (super cute) baby gift at Dille & Kamille to Zara and a quick stop at the delicatessen. Den Bosch has it all, so you can visit your favorite chains or treat yourself to a nice concept store.
Drinks on Korte Putstraat
With the risk that you might never leave, but I love Korte Put. The pubs that spill into the street, the restaurants each with their own flavor, and the buzz that always seems to go on.
Eating at Yalla Yalla Foodbar
Don't expect polished haute cuisine here, at Yalla Yalla it's all about pure and real food. The hummus is to die for, just like the falafel, and they have a spread of melted eggplant that will make you drool, which goes well with that bottle of white Lebanese wine. It's important that you appreciate the kitchen and are a bit into chickpeas.
Drinks at Café Reinders
We did a test round, from Roels (nice for a drink) to ’t Pantoffeltje (an uuuuh experience in itself) and on to Café Reinders, where we stayed until the lights came on. And that means something.
Sleeping at Maison BON Apartment
Nice and close to Reinders, with a terrace across the street where you can eat the Bossche bollen from Jan de Groot and around the corner is Snellestraat. It's not tidy, but the apartment is so beautifully decorated that you'd want to take everything home. It's clean, spacious, and located in the heart of Den Bosch above Bistro Bon. A great place to have your first coffee upon arrival.
P.S.: If you're still looking for a chandelier (it could happen), read this.
