Where to Eat in Den Bosch

Last Updated: February 4th 2025.

A city I found boring as a teenager, I rather went to Eindhoven. Now I don’t understand anymore why I found it boring. It’s such a fun city to shop and stroll around in! Here are a few good places to eat in Den Bosch.

Options to Eat in Den Bosch

Den Bosch has so many options to have a good meal. Furthermore the famous pastry “Bossche bol” originated here. With so many options in one city, where best to go? Well, with a friend and my husband I have tried out all the places in the blog over the years.

Het Warenhuis

A restaurant that has an excellent lunch and dinner menu card, several choices in cakes, bites and beer. You could practically sit here all day and have an excellent time. They have a terrace and 2 stores with places to sit. The bun Jeronimus and the spicy chicken bun are both delicious. They serve the Bossche Bol from Jan de Groot. The ambiance is great and if you sit on the second floor than you’ll have an excellent view on the Markt and all the people out shoppping. So for an excellent time and good food sit down at Het Warenhuis.

Address:

Markt 2

5211 JX Den Bosch

Banketbakkerij Jan de Groot

The place for the true “Bossche bol”. There are many places that sell chocolate bolls, but this is the one with the real “Bossche bol”. Jan de Groot senior invented the “Bossche bol” way back. They sell “Bossche bollen” in their pastry shop and lunchroom, but also to a number of other places in Den Bosch. So everywhere else in Den Bosch if you have the “Bossche bol” there, it’s from Jan de Groot.

My friend wanted to eat the real one, so we did. I’m not a fan of whipped cream so I had a croissant. Both were delicious.

For the real deal and the best “Bossche bollen” pay a visit to Banketbakkerij Jan de Groot. Bossche bollen aren’t the only thing they sell.

Brownies & Downies

A chain which employs people with Down syndrome. The one in Den Bosch serves lunch and snacks. Their motto is ‘pure is perfect’, they see their employees as pure and they work with fresh products which they consider as pure. They serve sandwiches, soups, salads, cakes, pancakes and brownies.

I just love their products and that they give people a chance who don’t get that much of a chance with other companies. So go visit Brownies & Downies.

Hinthamerstraat 57

Bagels & Beans

Bagels & Beans is a chain that has restaurants all over the Netherlands. I love their chai latte, cakes and bagels, especially the bagel Bali. The bagel Bali has vegan chicken pieces, peanut-lime dressing, cashew nuts, sambal, lettuce and fried onions. It’s a small store, so you can have bad luck and there’s no seating available. They also have a small terrace in front of the store. The store is located on a corner.

Address:

Hooge Steenweg 34

5211 JP Den Bosch

Brasserie Top

A restaurant in the middle of Den Bosch, a family restaurant which was started by the grandparents. Two of their sons took over and now one of their daughters runs the show.

They have an excellent menu card with lots of choice. Perfect for lunch, dinner or cake with coffee. From ‘kroketten’ to sandwiches to tournedos, there’s plenty of choice.

Brasserie Top also serves the famous “Bossche bol” from De Groot.

Address:

Markt 42

5211 JX Den Bosch

Salon de Roosekrans

They have 2 venues and give workshops to make chocolate or “Bossche bollen”. Their signature pastry is the “Bossche koek”. They have the original recipes of 2 pastry chefs and make and sell their own versions of “Bossche koek”. These recipes go back to 1794, talk about historic recipes!

We had “Bossche koek” and a “Bossche bol” here. Both are delicious. For pastries Salon de Roosekrans is a top choice. They have a lovely terrace.

Address:

Hinthamerstraat 40

5211 MP Den Bosch

Café In de Klein Werelt

A cosy cafe with a terrace in the middle of Den Bosch. The cafe is a building which dates back to the 13th century. They serve coffee, tea and hot cocoa.

For a great terrace sit down at cafe In de Kleine Werelt .

Markt 10-12-16

La Place

Another Dutch chain, but also a favorite forme and my husband. They sell delicious buns, soups, cakes and dinner. It’s self service, you pile on a tray what you want and pay at the cash register, then you find yourself a seat to enjoy your meal. When it’s the right season (winter) they have a delicious split pea soup or erwtensoep. La Place has delicious fresh prepared food and drinks. We also love their yoghurt drinks. It’s located inside a small mall, Arena, which is in the city center of Den Bosch.

Address:

Arena 21-25

5211 XT Den Bosch

Brasserie Cé

Another great place located on the Markt. It’s where all the great restaurants are situated. They have an excellent view through large glass windows on the Markt. The Markt is the square where on Wednesday and Saturday the weekly fair is held. It’s part of the Golden Tulip Hotel. We had lunch here and it was delicious. It’s a bit more pricy than the other venues on this list, but you get good quality food and a premium place. Brasserie Cé has excellent food from Noord-Brabant!
