The café/restaurant of the Jopen brewery enjoys a magnificent setting in the lovingly restored interior of the former Jacobskerk; the ecclesiastical feel has been maintained thanks to the high ceilings and stained-glass windows. The restaurant on the mezzanine (evenings only) serves a variety of meat, fish, and veggie mains; a simpler lunch menu is available in the grand café below.
A very funky restaurant-bar, XO has a general floral theme running from the wallpapered ceiling to the legion of hanging baskets—an alluring setting. The menu contains a wide array of mouthwatering and exquisitely presented burgers and sandwiches, joined by a few more substantial mains available evenings only.
