Eetcafé De Zwaan Delft
Delft, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Eetcafé De Zwaan sits on the Beestenmarkt, the tree-lined former cattle market that is Delft's best square for sitting outside and doing very little. The eetcafé is a Dutch institution rather than a restaurant category: a café that also feeds you properly, with a daily special, a short menu and no expectation that you dress for it. Around €12 covers a plate here, which is student and shopworker money in a city with plenty of both. The terrace under the trees is the main asset in summer; in winter the room does the same job with the door shut. Simple, cheap and squarely local.
