Top 10 restaurants in Delft, The Netherlands
Vermeer’s birthplace and a true gem, Delft sits between The Hague and Rotterdam in the country’s southwest. The city’s name comes from the Dutch word for digging, fitting since canals are a highlight here. Others include the 13th-century Old Church, the 15th-century New Church and the Prinsenhof, once home to William of Orange and now a museum. Delft has long been a center for fine ceramics, and traditional hand painting methods can still be witnessed at Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles.

My wife and I celebrated our 40th anniversary last night at Le Vieux Jean. We had their 10th Anniversary Menu and it was extraordinary. It consisted of five courses each one perfectly - let me repeat - perfectly prepared. Venison, scallops, halibut, were each accompanied by a lovely sauce. The dessert for my wife was a confection of apples and chocolate and mine was a plate of cheeses. We each had three different glasses of wine and this restaurant is absolutely superb in choosing wines. The service is professional, knowledgable and friendly. This is what one means when one talks of fine dining.

The restaurant is difficult to get to by car - the nearest car park is the Phoenix park garage 300 metres or so away. Its easier for pedestrians - there is a little arch that leads from Bagijnhof into the centre of town.
But once you get there it is lovely. The building itself is 17th century and beautifully decorated inside and out. We had a table located under the removable roof and in the summer, with the roof open on a warm evening it was excellent.
We really didn't want a full four course or five course meal so had the three item selection of starter, main, dessert. Everything was beautifully presented as in a fine dining restaurant. But I found the food just a little bland. I could have done with a bit more seasoning. My companions were perfectly happy though.
Wine was good and the Puglia red house wine very good value.
Service was very good and contributed to a very pleasant ambiance
I enjoyed my evening, just couldn't quite give it an "excellent"vote.

The Stads-Koffyhuis combines the comfort of yesteryear with the quality of today. Get acquainted with local artisan products and award winning culinary creations in the ‘Living Room of Delft’. Whether it’s the homemade apple pie, the aromatic pancakes or the generously topped hamburgers, typical Dutch cosiness goes beyond coffee and cappuccino.

Don't be fooled: this place is bigger than you think when you first walk in. It streches all the way to the end. Enjoyed lunch here, nice service, nice sandwhiches and good coffee. The front part of the cafe, where you enter, is especially lovely. There's also a part near the garden that looked great.

The restaurant is on the Beestenmarkt, a lively square with several restaurants and bars around it. It is cosy and at the same time spacious inside, surrounded by tasteful decor, with each table having adequate space around it while preserving an intimate feel. Our friendly and helpful waitress recommended the 'Trappisten Stoverij' a typical Dutch slow cooked beef stew, which was delicious.

We found the place here on tripadvisor and don't regret our visit. We went for lunch and had a 'twelve o clock'. We got a lage plate filled with typical food from the netherlands: tomato soup, brown bread with cheese and a slice of bread with a 'kroket'. Very good and enough to fill your tummy till the evening. Somewhere around 10€ I think, so not very expensive

A very nice and ery good restaurant in the center of Delft. All dishes are fully prepared in-house. Even the bread is prepared based on their own recipe by a selected baker. Their cuisine is clearly French and will not disappoint.
The place is small and cosy with very attentive service. Prices are a bit higher than average in Delft, but you get excellent quality food for your money.

The three course set meal is $35 euros. The steak tartar comes in a three-tiered glass stack in which a poached egg was kept with infused smoke so when opened the smoke comes shooting out. It was most amazing. The main course of small hen was also excellent. It is good value when this level of cuisine is presented. The service was attentive. The decor is simple but nice.

A relatively new restaurant in Delft; meal here was great and I'd love to tell other travelers about it.

Prawns perfectly fried, flavoured nicely and delicately with garlic and parsley, shell on but clearly de-veined in house ( well done, a bit of care). Home made burger crusted on the outside still pink in the middle - excellent. Good quality mozzarella with home-baked aubergine and delightful salad , all well dressed. Good wine list.
Lovely place, lovely staff - simple but really well executed.

The restaurant is in a beautiful location, with an internal court very nice open in the summer. The food is good and combines local food, Netherlands’s tradition and ethnic cuisine. The kitchen in open until 22.
For a dinner with starter, main dish, beer and water: around 35€ per person.
Waiters were very kind. I suggest to book, especially on Saturday.
10. Cafe de Oude Jan
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
Cafe de Oude Jan is a small pub in the centre of Delft, with a big and sunny Terrace in the summer. We're a suitable place for lunch and drinks, but also for a gathering of friends or colleagues, birthday party, reception or a lunch with a bigger group. Inside, the cosy and warm interior ensures an intimate environment. Outside, there are numerous possibilities on the Terrace during the summer (like barbecues and big events).
