As befits a good explorer, only one question counts: where do the locals hang out? No need for secret codes or hour-long cab rides; even our hidden gems are within biking distance. Look no further; we have gathered the ten best-kept secrets for foodies. What are you waiting for? Book yourself a table!

NOVA

Hidden on the Bergstraatje, you’ll find NOVA. Here, they elevate fine dining to another level: not only are the dishes a hit, but the interior, with finishing touches by designers like Piet Hein Eek and Studio RENS, is sure to impress as well.

Residency for the People

Set foot in this hotspot run by designers. Order a red wine (cheap but tasty) and unwind while enjoying the best dumplings in town. In the summer, you can relax in the little garden of Residency's neighbors, St. Catherine's Church.

Frank Eten & Drinken

For those who get excited about a home-style restaurant, seasonal dishes with a focus on vegetables and natural wines, Frank in Woensel-West is the kind of place where you’ll want to book a table right away. No wonder that locals already know this hidden gem at Franklinplein! What do you get in return? Comfort food, but with a culinary twist, and an evening where time flies by.

Dhol & Soul

The restaurant scene in Eindhoven includes a wide range of cuisines. While it's impossible to capture all the dishes from India on one menu, Dhol & Soul offers you a taste of that richness, but with a modern twist. Don’t forget: the rasmalai dessert is a must-try!

't Rozenknopje

Just outside the city center, you will find 't Rozenknopje. It's one of the oldest bars in town and is open seven days a week. On Mondays, you can eat with locals at a long table; your second beer is on the house.
