About About the place

St. John's Cathedral, located in the historic city of 's-Hertogenbosch, is a prominent example of Gothic architecture in the Netherlands. Originally Catholic, it transitioned to Protestant use before returning to Catholic worship in 1831. The cathedral is renowned for its richly decorated interior, breathtaking stained glass windows, and unique statues adorning its arches – notably, the only cathedral where these statues face upwards. Visitors can explore the Maria chapel, admire the wood engravings, and, during summer months, potentially access the roof for panoramic views. The cathedral frequently hosts concerts and events, and its exterior is particularly striking when illuminated at night.

Me and my husband went on a romantic date in this restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. The place is quiet and nice and is perfect for intimate affairs. The staff was kind and friendly and made you feel very welcoming. The food and the service was also great and the delicious serving just made this place an absolute must try. Do visit and be amazed by everything here.
