7. De Machinist

De Machinist is not only a special restaurant because it is located in a building with a lot of history (from 1949 to 2005 the Shipping and Transport College was located in the building of the restaurant), but it is also special because a lot is happening in the restaurant building.

For example, rooms are rented for salsa lessons and business events, but there is also a day care facility in the building. And the latter makes the monthly event D.A.T. possible (Dining Apart Together). In collaboration with the day care facility, families with young children up to the age of 5 can come for dinner. Mom and dad will have a nice dinner together and the
kids can play together. Isn’t that a great idea?

But you can also come there with your kids on regular days: the restaurant offers kid friendly dishes and there is also a fun corner where the kids can play. The restaurant’s building also gives access to the playground Het Kleine Avonturenpark, so if you have finished your meal you can visit it with your kids!
