Het Goudkantoor
Groningen, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
The Goudkantoor Food Hall puts one of Groningen's most ornate buildings to work: a 17th-century gold-assay office on the Waagplein, now trading as a food hall. The stone facade is a city landmark in its own right, and inside it a row of local vendors works under the same roof, so one table can hold a Dutch cheese toastie, a plate of Indonesian satay and whatever the stall opposite is cooking that day. Vegetarian choices run through most of the counters. Plates land around EUR 13, which makes it an easy stop for anyone who wants to eat their way around Groningen without committing to a single kitchen.
