Convenient Lunch Spot Across from St. Bavo Church After visiting the impressive St. Bavo Church, we stopped for lunch at Grand Café Brinkman, which is ideally located right across the square. The café has a classic, old-style atmosphere and a cozy terrace perfect for people-watching. The staff were friendly and service was very good — attentive and welcoming without being overbearing. The lunch menu is fairly limited, but enough for a light bite. I ordered the fish and chips. It was okay, though not particularly memorable. The portion of fries was generous, but the fish itself was a bit small and lacked flavor, which made me wonder if it might have been a frozen filet. Still, it’s a convenient and pleasant place to take a break, especially if you’re exploring Haarlem’s city center. A nice spot for a quick lunch or drink with a great view of the square.
