Private dining & parties · Grote Markt

A space of your own in Haarlem

Close the door, raise your glasses and bring your favourite people together. Upstairs at Vester, our private room overlooks Haarlem’s Grote Markt — a lovely setting for a birthday, family dinner, anniversary or company gathering.

Our private room is available exclusively for dinners and drinks receptions. Amplified music is not permitted in this space, so DJ parties cannot take place in the private room.

Room for your kind of celebration

Your private room upstairs

Up to 60 guests for a seated dinner or 80 for drinks or a walking dinner.

Planning something smaller? We are happy to explore what suits your group. We will agree availability and the layout with you in advance.

Bringing more people?

The restaurant and private room can be combined by arrangement, welcoming up to 165 guests for a seated dinner or 220 for drinks or a walking dinner.

We will help you find a setting that fits your guest list and plans.

From the first drink to a whole evening together

Start with a welcome drink, sit down to shared dining or choose a walking dinner with plenty of space to mingle. Prefer a relaxed drinks party? Add bites for everyone to enjoy.

Our group dinner begins with bread, followed by seven dishes across two rounds. Round three is a dessert platter to share.

Would you like to adapt a dish, add something to the menu or bring your own idea? All wishes are open for discussion. Together with our kitchen, we will explore the possibilities.
