The Pavilion

The museum’s restaurant is housed in the Pavilion designed in 1991 by Huber-Jan Henket. The light-filled, transparent space with a view over the museum’s garden is a delightful location for lunch or afternoon tea. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11.00 to 17.00 and serves salads, soup, sandwiches, coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer and wine. 

Espresso Bar

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen opened the Espresso Bar in 2008. This informal café, designed by Simon Heijdens, serves excellent espresso and cappuccino, tea, soft drinks and pastries, also on the go. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 (an hour before the museum opens) to 17.30 and is accessible without a ticket to the museum.
