La Caponnière


Petit café La Caponnière is a meeting place just outside the centre of fortified town Gorinchem, located in an old bombproof gun emplacement of the UNSCO World Heritage Site 'The Dutch Waterlines'.

La Caponnière is a special building from 1893 hidden in our rampart. As soon as you enter over the entrance bridge, it immediately feels special, casual and cosy. A echt 'living room feeling' where wood-burning stoves burn in winter. And where, when the weather is nice, you can sit on the terrace on the rampart, a special place!

At Petit café La Caponnière, you can enjoy special beer, wine and drinks boards. I also serve various specialty coffees accompanied by a tasty piece of cake or a toasted sandwich on the terrace or snuggled inside by the wood-burning stoves. Even if you just want to take a look at the Caponnière, you are welkom. I will be happy to tell you all about it!

I don't work with reservations, just drop in.

Who will you give the Bliekenbon to?

The Bliekenbon is a echt Gorcum gift voucher; nice to get, sympathetic to give! After all, the voucher can only be spent at entrepreneurs in Gorcum, so you support the local economy with it. An original 'token of appreciation' for a birthday, wedding or thank-you gift. Also very suitable as a business gift or Christmas parcel.
