Bringing traditional Dutch snacks and comfort food to Toronto.
Borrel is a term the Dutch use to describe an informal gathering of friends for a drink and some snacks. Our bar and restaurant aims to provide the perfect setting for you to enjoy just that!
We offer drinks and traditional Dutch snacks and comfort food in a cozy environment — or gezellig, as they say in The Netherlands — inspired by the country’s historic brown cafés.
We hope you can enjoy a borrel with us sometime soon. Proost!
