The eatery is formed by six connecting houses with three separate entrances. The rustic interior of beam ceilings and brick wall wraps warmly creating a time travel experience for all who enter. The walls are decorated with bric-a-brac ranging from cabinets with antiques and china to traditional gin stone bottles. Though the restaurant can seat 300 on one night, it has quite a cosy atmosphere that is welcoming and every bit homely.

Open for lunch and dinner, Haesje Claes has one menu serving warm meals all day. Their extensive menu has many options for both light and heavy eaters, dining either a la carte. You may also choose from their Dutch Dish menu where for 28.50 you can relish three courses followed by tea or coffee. This menu changes every month according to season, alternatively you may see your table for day specials such as Mussels. Complimenting your meal is an exceptional dessert and wine list.

During your visit you will be served by one of their friendly staff, and seating arrangements for lunch are closer than what may be expected for dinner, when guests are spaced out comfortably in a personal setting. They also cater for groups that can sit separate or even upstairs in privacy if desired. Whatever you prefer, it is best to reserve in advance.

For an exquisite lunch or meal, Haesje Claes offers a superb menu to enjoy within an authentic Dutch style living room fit for the king and pauper.
