MendiniRestaurant
The MendiniRestaurant, right beside the Groninger Museum, and the railway station, is a unique location for a coffee, lunch, or to have a drink in stylish surroundings. Excellent Dutch cuisine, often themed to the exhibitions, is accompanied by or made with typical Groningen products and fare. Enjoy a delicious lunch, or simply lounge in a striking interior designed by Dutch maestro Maarten Baas.
Maarten Baas
The MendiniRestaurant interior was designed by Maarten Baas. The furniture and fittings featured are from the Clay series. The tables, chairs, and settees are made from synthetic clay and designed by hand. Every piece in the MendiniRestaurant is thus unique.
