Grand café with a stylish and green character
At Het District you settle in for classic dishes, a cosy atmosphere and warm hospitality. A place for lunch, dinner or a relaxed moment on the terrace.
Thanks to its green surroundings, Het District is also the ideal stop before or after a walk in Veltwijckpark or the De Oude Landen nature reserve. Pause for a moment, have a drink, enjoy a full meal or simply savour the moment.
Larger groups are also very welcome at Het District. Whether it's a family celebration, a lunch with colleagues or a relaxed get-together: we make sure everyone can sit down comfortably.
Every Sunday, enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet with us from 9.30am to 11.30am. Reservation necessary.
