Menu Opening hours

Worldly inspiration

Instead of looking at the differences, unexpected cultural similarities form the guiding principle for the interior of KonneKt. Consider, for instance, the traditional Dutch costume from Marken, which has the same motifs as classic Peruvian knitting.

Picasso’s self-portrait shows as an African tribal mask, Helmond-made fabrics are known around the world as typically African. And the blue and white porcelain, which we know as Delftware, shows surprisingly many similarities with Japanese porcelain and Portuguese azulejos.

Catering

As fresh as possible, sustainable and with a worldly twist; these are the ingredients that our kitchen brigade works with on a daily basis. In addition to the extensive breakfast and lunch buffet and à la carte dinner, our kitchen team can fulfil countless other wishes. Think, for example, of a picnic in the forest or a healthy break such as fresh fruit or vegetable smoothies, a vegan Buddha bowl or a complete healthy break for your meeting or event.

Ate a three-course menu at the weekend. Card is not very extensive but varied. Choice of meat, fish, poultry and vegetarian. Plates are nicely laid out and food tastes delicious. I would like to come back again.
