Terraces in Hartje Gorcum: from lively squares to hidden pearls on the waterfront
As soon as the sun shows itself, Hartje Gorcum is the place to be. The terraces fill up quickly and all over the city you will find nice places to enjoy the nice weather. From lively squares to quiet spots by the water: in Hartje Gorcum there is a terrace for every moment.
The Grote Markt: always lively
The Grote Markt is perhaps the most famous place to perch. Here you sit in the middle of the city, overlooking the fountain and the characteristic buildings around it. It is a place where something is always happening.
You have plenty of choice here. For a sumptuous lunch or dinner, head to De Hoofdwacht, De Gasterij or De Beren. In the mood for Italian? Then Tavino is a fine place. For sushi, try Sushi Fusion.
This is also the place to be for a coffee break. At Espressobar Hugo you start your day with breakfast or a good cup of coffee, and at Venezia Ice Cream Parlour you get an ice cream to walk around the square with.
Under the trees at the Varkenmarkt
A little further on is the Pig Market, a place with a totally different atmosphere. Here you sit sheltered under the trees, which makes it especially pleasant on hot days.
Terraces by the likes of 't Gelagh, Bagel & Beans and Café 't Uyltje create a relaxed, almost village-like atmosphere here in the middle of the city. It is one of those places where you settle down quietly and forget time for a while.
Hidden terraces on the Langendijk
What makes Gorinchem echt special are the places you don't immediately see. The Langendijk is full of surprises.
Behind the facade of Sweet Ima is a cosy garden where you can get away from the hustle and bustle. A hidden spot where you can sit quietly and forget time for a while.
For lunch or dinner by the water, The Local Club and The Flint are the place to be. Here you can enjoy the view of the Linge, while the boats slowly sail by.
Fancy a cocktail? Then Timber is the place to start or end your evening relaxed.
Summer evenings at the Lingehaven
When the sun goes down, there are few places as atmospheric as the Lingehaven. This is where water, light and the city come together.
At La Blique you start your afternoon quietly with coffee, pastries or an extensive high tea, while overlooking the water. A place to slow down and enjoy.
Walk a little further and the atmosphere changes towards evening. De WijnBoutique is all about good wine, drinks and dinner. It's easy to linger here while the sun slowly sets and the harbour comes leven .
Together, these spots make the Lingehaven one of the city's most beautiful terrace spots, from relaxed afternoon to long summer evening.
A break during a walk
You will also come across fine spots along the city wall. While strolling along the fortress, a stop at La Caponnière is a must.
A small, charming terrace where you can catch your breath, overlooking the greenery and history of the city around you.
Discover your favourite spot
Whether you come for a sumptuous dinner, a quick coffee or a long summer evening by the water: the terraces in Hartje Gorcum all have their own atmosphere. And perhaps that is exactly what makes this city so much fun. No need to choose, just keep exploring.
