Brasserie 'de Koepel'

Scenic dining
Brasserie de Koepel on Oosteinde in Voorburg is the former orangery of the Vreugd & Rust country estate. It is based in a central location with a unique, scenic terrace, and the tasteful interior design beautifully complements the park outside. The home smoked salmon, the Caesar salad and the lobster soup are absolute musts as first courses, and the main courses and desserts are also extremely appetising. The brasserie is open every evening and the combination of the distinctive premises, the unique ambience and the splendid dishes also makes this venue perfectly suited for private dinners or for a reception.

Culinary delights in a shopping paradise

Much of the town centre’s rich history has been preserved, as evidenced by the many landmark buildings. Herenstraat, the town’s main shopping street, is lined with stylish shops and businesses that offer individual service, as well as unique speciality shops and a wide selection of restaurants. Besides high-quality retail outlets, Voorburg boasts some of the ﬁnest restaurants in the Netherlands, including Brasserie de Koepel on Oost-einde, which is renowned for its reﬁ ned cuisine. The recently opened Zenzo on Parkweg likes to surprise its guests with sumptuous Japanese meals for both lunch and dinner, while the popular Indonesian Toko Eddo, located just across the street, offers some of the best takeaways in the area. Be sure to sample their rijsttafel, a traditional meal composed of many different meat and vegetable dishes.

Alternatively, try Chinese-Surinamese restaurant Carmil, which has an extensive takeaway menu. Even if you ﬁ nd yourself craving Greek food, you can get your ﬁ x at Kreta, also on Parkweg. The Julianabaan is an excellent one-stop shopping centre where you’ll ﬁ nd several exclusive boutiques along with the usual chain stores. Verbakel Mode is a well-established, upscale fashion store for both men and women that carries a variety of Dutch and international brands. Even this newer section of town features many historic elements, such as a statue of the Roman general Corbulo on horseback.
