9 x best lunch in Tilburg

City café de Spaarbank

At Stadscafé de Spaarbank, you're always in the right place—at any time of day, really. Here you can enjoy simple dishes and just as much a cup of coffee with the newspaper as you can a leisurely lunch or drinks. Tip: the chickpea salad is our favorite.

June

Good coffee and lunch – you can simply call us out of bed for that, especially if it's June's turn. Be prepared, because making a choice here is not easy. Everything on the menu is delicious: from French toast (tip!) to lemon ricotta pancakes and Turkish eggs. Nieuwlandstraat 16, Tilburg – junetilburg.nl

Butt-free

Buutvrij is a wonderful all-day hangout and creative hub: they always have works by local artists on the walls. Besides excellent toasted sandwiches (the one with aged cheese and bell pepper-eggplant spread is our favorite), they also have incredibly tasty bread from bakery Theo Pastoor, for example, with homemade truffle egg salad. You get the idea: we can't stay away from this place. Stationsstraat 49, Tilburg – buutvrijtilburg.nl

The Bourgeoisie

At De Burgerij, it's not about greasy burgers, but about French cuisine. It's a "little slice of Paris in Tilburg"—as they say themselves—and we're always up for that. Of course, there's a delicious onion soup on the menu, but also a classic veal stew, a warm brie sandwich, and a meatball sandwich. After all, we are still in the Netherlands.

Pulcinos

A few years ago, Pulcinos moved to a larger space on Piushaven, and that proved to be a smart move – you no longer have to squeeze into the small space, because now this place has room for everyone. And you'll want to take advantage of that, trust us. Whether you're craving a good Caesar salad, flammkuchen, or a caprese sandwich, they've got it here. Piushaven 208, Tilburg – pulcinos.nl

Locals

If you like to start your day with a strong cup of coffee, Locals is the place to be. They also have an all-day breakfast menu where you'll want to try every dish. The bao buns with banana, crumbled nuts, and miso-peanut sauce sound like a unique combination—and they are, in the best possible way. Heuvelstraat 128, Tilburg – locals-tilburg.nl

Restaurant RAK

Another great spot in the Spoorzone: Restaurant RAK. This place literally floats on the water, swaying cheerfully with nature. Lunch at RAK feels like you're on vacation, especially when you can relax on the terrace. And we haven't even mentioned their delicious brioche toast yet… It's best served with grilled vegetables and feta cream or fried eggs with truffle and bacon.

Villa La Vida

Looking for a place to stay and enjoy a delicious meal in Tilburg? Then you'll want to visit the boutique hotel Villa La Vida. Here, you'll "celebrate life," as the people of Brabant do so well. You can tell right away by the colorful interior: it's a celebration in itself. Whether you're in the mood for a Tilburg sausage roll or a chicken flatbread, they've got you covered.

The Grain Trade

De Graanhandel might remind you of our capital, as the building is built in the Amsterdam School style. The lunch menu features a variety of Italian classics, such as a sandwich with sun-dried tomato spread or burrata with watercress pesto. For something a little different, try the green shakshuka. Highly recommended! Piushaven 1, Tilburg – degraanhandel.nl
