Up on the roof: 7x Hidden roof terraces

Not in the mood for busy city crowds, but craving a tasty snack or drink? Well, look up! Let’s find you a higher place and climb onto that roof! For coffee, cocktails and perhaps the best views of Eindhoven, visit the following roof terraces!

Piet Hein Eek

At Strijp R, you will discover designer Piet Hein Eek’s hotel. He has also created a phenomenal place for non-hotel guests to enjoy. At the GREEN Restaurant, you can let your taste buds do the work with a delicious buffet or à la carte breakfast or lunch. And let’s not forget to mention the evening menu! At night, the chef creates a culinary party on your plate. What makes this lobby special is the huge rooftop terrace. Through the French doors, you enter an oasis of rest with plenty of shade and shelter, ideal for those who want to get some fresh air without burning their neck. Oh, and do you have something to celebrate? On the fourth floor, you will find the DAKBAR’s roof terrace, perfect for a party with panoramic views over Strijp.

Vapiano

Strolling around the city, and your stomach suddenly starts grumbling? No worries! For a small price, Vapiano has exactly what you need: some carbs for a quick dose of energy. This location in the Heuvel shopping center offers both indoor and outdoor spots. On the rooftop terrace, you can catch plenty of rays of sunshine. With a plate of pasta in front of you, you might imagine yourself in Italy for a moment. Your stomach and your wallet will thank you!

Dadawan

While you're in the area: just across from Vapiano, you’ll spot the buzzing fusion hotspot Dadawan. Craving a quick sushi fix or planning to settle in for a full-on feast? Either way, you’re in for tasty, wallet-friendly dishes that hit the table fast. Sure, it can get a little packed—especially up on the rooftop terrace—but hey, hang in there… good things come to those who wait (and who keep an eye out for an open table!).

Restaurant The City

If you visit The City restaurant, you are definitely going to enjoy their Asian dishes with a hint of Western and South American cuisine. The Asian ‘tapas’, such as sushi and grill dishes, are crafted for you with fresh ingredients, and are perfect for sharing. Sharing is caring! What more could a person want? Uh, how about a terrace on the roof? The City has that too! This hidden rooftop terrace right in the city center makes your day complete.

Everything is taken care of down to the last detail, from refreshing cocktails to the stylish interior and relaxed atmosphere Not into cocktails? Any drink goes with the setting sun. Cheers!

Mathilde

You could say we Dutchies have a thing for borrelhapjes. If you’re not familiar with them, they’re bite-sized finger food. Snack lovers already know where to go: Mathilde on Kleine Berg. This restaurant fully embraces the Burgundian lifestyle: a love for food and an easy-going vibe. You can take a seat at the first free spot in sight, but did you know they also have a hidden roof terrace? Go upstairs and find out!
