Tucked away on the Prinsegracht, Kantoor 1643 is one of those rare places where history, design and culinary creativity meet effortlessly. Set inside a beautifully restored 17th-century canal house, it blends the charm of old The Hague with the energy of a modern dining spot, a welcoming escape for both locals and curious visitors.

From casual bites to crafted dining

Whether you’re stopping in for bites, a relaxed dinner or something in between, the menu leans into comfort with a refined twist. Expect favourites like the smashed beef burger, steak entrecôte, a generous cheese platter, and seasonal dishes built for sharing.

The drinks list is just as considered: signature cocktails, natural wines, craft beer, specialty coffee and matcha all find their place here, making Kantoor 1643 just as appealing for an afternoon pause as it is for a late-night drink.

A Stylish, sustainable Interior

Inside, the space immediately feels thoughtful, lived-in and effortlessly on trend. It’s a blend of modern design, artistic character and heritage details, creating a setting that feels both curated and casual. 

Soft textures and reclaimed materials tell their own story: sofas upholstered in recycled farm-sacks, smooth terrazzo-topped tables in muted pinks, and an impressive bar crafted from reclaimed oak that anchors the upper. The overall aesthetic? Trendy, atmospheric, and unmistakably Kantoor 1643,  a place where design becomes part of the dining experience.

When Day Turns to Night

As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts. On Friday and Saturday evenings, Kantoor 1643 transforms into a lively, intimate nightspot with DJs spinning vinyl, perfectly suited to the space. For something more private, the Garden Room offers a fireplace-lit hideaway ideal for intimate dinners, gatherings or small celebrations.
