Around the corner: Benoordenhout 

Benoordenhout, sometimes called 'Bejaardenhout', does not live up to that name. In the lively Van Hoytemastraat, Weissenbruchstraat and Willem Royaardsplein there are so many nice specialist shops, fashion, beauty and home furnishing shops and restaurants and lunchrooms. There are also many (international) primary and secondary schools and sports clubs (hockey, football, rugby, tennis, shooting and golf), making the neighbourhood a favourite with young families.

Around the corner: Benoordenhout 

Benoordenhout, sometimes called 'Bejaardenhout', does not live up to that name. In the lively Van Hoytemastraat, Weissenbruchstraat and Willem Royaardsplein there are so many nice specialist shops, fashion, beauty and home furnishing shops and restaurants and lunchrooms. There are also many (international) primary and secondary schools and sports clubs (hockey, football, rugby, tennis, shooting and golf), making the neighbourhood a favourite with young families.

We take you through some hotspots of Benoordenhout.

Les Belles Saveurs 

Les Belles Saveurs on Breitner Avenue is a delicatessen with 100 % of quality French products. Here you imagine yourself in all the regions for a moment and, in addition to foie gras, confit de canard, rillettes, wines and champagnes, you will also find a wide selection of chocolates, biscuits and fresh products such as yoghurts, cheese and butter. Definitely worth a visit!

You can buy this at Les Belles Saveurs

Pâtisserie Chocolaterie Jarreau

Just seeing the shop window of Pâtisserie Chocolaterie Jarreau on Van Hoytemastraat makes your mouth water. From homemade chocolates and macarons to artful cakes and friandises. Not surprisingly, Jarreau has won several awards in the past for their sweet treats.

Cucina di Casa 'the kitchen of home' 

Nicoletta and her Italian colleagues make everything themselves and you can taste it! At Cucina di Casa in Paul Gabriëlstraat, you will find fresh dishes (including vegetarian) prepared with love and attention. You can come here for breakfast, brunch, lunch, aperitifs, dinner, catering and takeaway.

Topanga Club 

Less than a year ago, the colourful concept store Topanga Club opened in Benoordenhout. Jamie Lee Huisman offers a selection of fashion, accessories, interiors and vintage finds. At Topanga in Van Hoytemastraat, it's all about celebrating individuality and expression.

Paluco

Overlooking the lively shopping street and with plenty of seating, the large terrace is by Paluco (corner of Paul Gabriëlstraat/ Van Hoytemastraat) the perfect place to see and be seen. You can have breakfast, lunch and drinks here.

Bistro de Lof

Bistro de Lof is a homely, cosy place for young and old. The menu features bistro classics but also dishes to share. A new-fangled good bistro that also attracts young people.

Pour Vous Parfumerie Winnubst 

That they know many customers by name at Winnubst perfumery says it all. At Winnubst in Van Hoytemastraat, they value personal contact. The product range has been expanded with luxury fragrance, make-up and skincare products. You can also get beauty treatments and accessories such as jewellery, Toiletry bags, shaving brushes, shaving sets, mirrors and manicure sets.

Gift and home decoration shop 3&60 

Among Benoordenhouters, 3&60 is a household name: Margreet Greiner's gift and home decoration shop in Weissenbruchstraat has original and affordable presents for all ages. And they are wrapped with care, too.

Park Clingendael

A visit to the Benoordenhout is not complete without a walk through Park Clingendael. This historic estate, home to the Clingendael Institute, is an oasis of tranquillity. Stroll along the formal gardens, discover the beautiful Japanese Garden (only open in spring and autumn), settle down at Teeschenkerij IJgenweis (open from April to October) and enjoy the serene beauty of this green gem.

Pure Flowers

Pure Flowers in Van Hoytemastraat is much more than a flower shop. Besides flowers, you will find ceramics, vases and perfume candles. Each item has its own story, which Peter van der Meij and his team are eager to tell their customers.  

Home visits are also a possibility, where you can leave the finishing touches with plants and beautiful pots, lamps, art for the wall and, of course, vases with flowers to Pure Flowers. They also decorate events, weddings, dinners and funerals.
