7x Dinner on a budget

Are you looking for a place in Eindhoven where you can dine on a dime? Whether a three course dinner or a lunch, at these eight restaurants you can have it all for a very affordable price.

Spaans Centrum (Spanish Centre)

Lovers of Spanish cuisine can indulge themselves at the Spanish Centre at Hugo de Grootplein 47. The space is reminiscent of a noisy soccer canteen, but the food, the Tinto de Verano, and the super friendly people let you wander off to a Mediterranean paradise. ¡Excelente!

Takumi

Just in the center of Eindhoven, you will find two locations of Takumi, a restaurant that specializes in authentic Sapporo noodles and Tonkotsu ramen. Order your noodles in your favorite broth (chicken or pork) and slurp them with a Japanese lemonade on the side. Are you a real noodle fanatic? No problem! Every month they present a new, affordable, special!

‘t Rozenknopje

At ‘t Rozenknopje, de Rozenknop, or het Knopje—whatever you call it, at this café you can eat for a low price and mingle with the locals. In the relaxed atmosphere of this so-called living room, you are always welcome to join for lunch or dinner. Extra fun: the stamtafeldiner (basically an informal dinner where everybody is welcome) on Mondays!

Trafalgar Pub

Since 1973, the British pub The Trafalgar Pub in Eindhoven has been famous for its hospitality and relaxed atmosphere. On the menu, you’ll find a number of not-so-healthy British dishes, including Fish n’ Chips and Shepherd’s Pie, as well as a wide range of (specialty) beers. Tasty and affordable!

Happy Italy

We’re still in the idyllic Italian mood. For a date night as romantic as a sunset on the Amalfi Coast, take your date to Happy Italy. But here’s the trick to impress: after your meal, catch a movie together with the Cinema Deal for just €15.50. Shhh, it’s our little secret!

Juffrouw Tok

If you like chicken, then you should definitely pay a visit to Juffrouw (Miss) Tok! Order their specialty: Chicken Piri Piri marinated in authentic Portuguese Piri Piri marinade and then cooked on a charcoal grill. For non-carnivores, there are veggie options too!

Eetcafé Spijker

Enjoy a bistro-style evening with friends, colleagues, or family at Eetcafé Spijker on Stratumseind. With prices this low (a three-course dinner for under €30), you'll instantly forget how to cook at home.
