| Eating in central Groningen is a company with a local service area. | |
A compact centre with the highest café density per head in the Netherlands, and students are the reason.
The Grote Markt
The central square with the Martini tower, terraces on three sides. On sunny days the busiest point in the north.
The Poelestraat
The nightlife street, cafés side by side along its whole length. Open late and full at weekends.
The Folkingestraat
Smaller shops, delicatessens and restaurants, repeatedly named the best shopping street in the country. Quieter than the Poelestraat.
Students and prices
Fifty thousand students in a city of two hundred thousand. That holds prices down and keeps kitchens open past midnight.
The Vismarkt
Market on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, with fish, cheese and regional produce from Groningen and Drenthe.
Where to look
The Poelestraat for cafés, the Folkingestraat for restaurants, the Vismarkt for the market.
