It’s finally spring, and we’re moving on to summer, lot’s of sunny days ahead. It’s gonna be a great summer. Where can we better be than on a trendy terrace enjoying a cocktail or drinking a nice cold white beer and have tasty snacks? I like to share my favourite terraces with you. As you can see my favourite places are mainly on the waterside. Join and drink a nice cold Dutch Blond Beer with me?
Theehuis (teahouse) Rhijnauwen, Utrecht
Little bit old-fashioned, but a tremendous cool spot beside the river “Kromme Rijn”. When you visit Theehuis Rhijnauwen make sure you eat the specialty of the house: Rhijnauwen wrap. Defenitely my favourite.
Address: Rhijnauwenselaan 16, Bunnik

Klein Berlijn, Utrecht
A creative and cultural hot spot with a lovely terrace on the waterside. Located in an old industrial area at the river Vaartse Rijn. Small Berlin is a cool place to listen to music, to watch theater and dance on the music of trendy DJ’s. Innovation and talent predominate here. Have a German beer, a nice glass of wine or appetizer. The weekends you can dance to live music.
Address: Briljantlaan 5A, Utrecht

Stadsvilla Sonsbeek, Arnhem
You find Stadsvilla Sonsbeek on top of the Hartjesberg ( Heartsmountain). The view makes it worthwhile to visit this terrace. The weekends there are often outdoor concert. In the park you’ll find more terraces. What I like best is to take a blanket and just sit in the grass enjoy the sun, watch the people and get into the happening.

De oude Waag, Hoorn
Popular terrace on the big square in the center of Hoorn.
Address: Roode Steen 8, Hoorn.
Noorderlicht, Amsterdam
My one and only nr 1 top terrace. Located on one of the nicest spots of Amsterdam with a beautiful view over the IJ. If you visit Amsterdam an absolute must, so make sure to put it on your bucketlist. Not only the outside is special but the design inside is more than creative. Ask the cook for the day specialties.
NDSM Plein 102, Amsterdam
