Made for people looking for a grand café
Locals and visitors looking for a warm, classic café. For breakfast with the paper, a long lunch, drinks with a game of billiards or a party under the beams of the old weigh house.
- A hundred years of atmosphere: First you see the café wall: a smoke-brown ceiling, oak panelling and brass chandeliers. Only then comes the photo. So you taste the brown café before you read a word.
- Every chapter sits on a brass weight, just like in the old weigh house.
- The daily menu and events hang like a newspaper on the reading stick.
- The Waagzaal has its own page with capacity, packages and prices.
- The design: First you step into the café: a smoke-brown ceiling, two brass chandeliers and oak panelling with brass plaques, and only then comes the photo. Every chapter sits on a brass weight, the daily menu hangs like a newspaper on the reading stick and the menu lies on a Persian table rug, because De Oude Waag is a big brown café in a real town weigh house.
- Good photos: real pictures of the work, the premises and the people sell better than stock photos.
