For the best ice cream in Venlo, there are two names you need to remember: IJsco Fantastico and Clevers. Artisanal gelato at the Maasboulevard or at Ut Tankstation or the award-winning ice cream sundaes in Arcen. A must for every gourmet!

Chocolate lovers get excited by Banketbakkerij Lamers with handmade praline masterpieces, Rousseau has been the address for iconic Limburg chocolate and luxury bars for decades, and IJsco Fantastico proves that its craftsmanship goes far beyond the famous ice cream. At these three icons, you can taste the passion for the "brown gold" in every detail.

Venlo also makes cheese lovers happy. The city offers an impressive selection of Dutch and international specialties that no cheese department should leave untouched.
For a good glass of craftsmanship, you are in the right place in the Venlo region. Discover the Limburg terroir at Wijngaard ’t Hanik and Wijndomein ZAVEL, or taste the rich tradition of distillates at De IJsvogel and Veldman Stokerij. For a fresh, local touch, the cider from De Gerdeneer is a must. You can find this at the true connoisseurs of Wijnhuis Blerick and Van Gelderen Wijn.

Fries are an integral part of our culture. We also participate in this abundantly, with crispy fries and generous sauces. Get your fries at one of the many delicious spots.
If you want to experience Venlo's culinary scene, you should keep an eye on the event calendar; the city regularly offers events where food becomes an experience.

Experience the late summer during the first edition of Festival Rijp! in Boekend. Around the greenhouse of De Gerdeneer, art, village history, cider culture, live music, and craftsmanship come together. Discover the art walk and the pop-up museum De Schoolbel, taste special ciders, and get acquainted with centuries-old harvest traditions. With intimate evenings, live music, a festive evening, and an atmospheric closing, there is plenty to enjoy throughout the festival period.

Learn to prepare Basque "pintxos" yourself!
In the Venlo region, you must have tried vlaai. Enjoy fine praline creations at Lamers to the famous Vlaai at Arcener Bakhuys and Bakkerij Fleuren to honest sourdough bread at the Desembekkerie or Bakkerij RĂĽtten.


In Venlo, true taste pioneers focus on the essentials: At Restaurant SOBER and Kwartelenmarkt 11 op 3, the garden or the market determines what is on the plate, and Nena Pizza brings authentic Naples to the city with angelic patience for dough. This craftsmanship is also alive at Brasserie Sur Place and the legendary croquetry of Restaurant Valuas – here, "homemade" is not a promise, but a standard.
