'Huh, shopping at the Hof?' When you think of shopping, you don't immediately think of our grand catering square the Hof? Well do! Because in the side streets you will find unique Amersfoort stores. And there is a weekly market. That is an outing in itself. Strolling along the stalls, inhaling all those smells, fine prices and then going home with all your treasures. My favorites: goodies for Friday night drinks and a bunch of fresh flowers for the table.
Come to the market
At the Friday and Saturday market at Hof, you will of course find all the typical market stalls. That one well-known baker, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish and of course the cheese and nut stall. Leaving the market without a syrup waffle? Impossible! After your tour of the market, you're all set for the weekend. Because you'll find everything for your drinks board. From cheese and sausages to Greek and Italian delicacies.
Munching and feasting
While you wander around the market, you can already feast. How about a delicious crepe? At crêperie de Gelukshut you can choose sweet and savory crepes such as the apple strudel, nutella, snicker, goat cheese or Italian variant. Feel like chatting, sitting down and people watching? At food truck Mieks Koffie Enzo you can get a good cup of coffee and sandwiches. Don't miss the flower and plant stalls either. Because what could be better than cycling back home with a nice bunch of color and fragrance in your bike basket?
