Food and drink bar Rijksmagazijn

At Rijksmagazijn, you can take a seat between two harbours in Enkhuizen. For coffee, lunch, drinks, tapas or dinner. The old building, dating from 1907, has been given a new lease of life as a place to eat and drink. With views of the water, boats and the Drommedaris. Simply a great spot.

Who is this a good site for?

For those who love being by the water without having to go far. You come here for coffee and cake, lunch, drinks, tapas or dinner. Groups, celebrations and parties are also welcome, on request. Ideal for friends, families, colleagues and anyone who loves the harbour atmosphere.

When will you visit here?

Pop in on a Friday afternoon for a drink, or at the weekend for lunch and dinner. On Saturdays and Sundays, the doors open as early as 11.00. A lovely time to visit: late afternoon, when the light begins to fade over the harbours. That’s when you’ll immediately understand why this place is here.

Our tip for your visit

Ask for a spot with a view of the harbour. Especially when the boats are still out. Then you’ll have something to look at whilst you’re having a drink. It doesn’t cost anything extra, but it really makes a difference.

We do our best to provide you with the right information, but always check the venue’s own website before you set off for the very latest updates.
