Kerkplein

"A city full of specialty shops, that is how the website of the province of Noord-Brabant describes Breda. A fitting description, as my grandparents make a yearly trip to Breda especially for bonbons (filled chocolates) from 'La Bohème'. In general, Breda is a good place for food and drinks due to the numerous cafes and restaurants in its city centre. It has a few staple foods such as "Nassaubollen" and "Ginnekoek". In terms of shopping, much of it is also centred around edibles. Mustard from Breda is supposedly one of the finest. And of course, there are several local beer breweries. Did you know there is a bar which doubles as a museum for beer advertisements? It doesn't get much funkier than that! Even though much of the cuisine in Breda is focused around meat, cheese and beer, you will not be disappointed as a vegetarian or vegan either. You can get a veggie version of the province's iconic sausages. Next to that, there are several fully vegan coffee and lunch spots. And 'Plan B' is where I'd advice you to go to for plant-based tapas."
