Eetcafé de Prins

What Eetcafé de Prins does

Eetcafé de Prins is a privately owned, single-location Dutch eat-café (restaurant-café hybrid) located at Hoogstraat 50, Berlicum, North Brabant, Netherlands. The 12-employee business operates seven days a week from 11:00 and serves local residents, regional visitors, business customers, and private event bookers across four menu categories (lunch, dinner, drinks/bar, takeout/delivery) that are refreshed every six weeks to reflect seasonal produce. The venue combines a casual dining room, a dedicated beer/wine lounge branded as Café De Prins (Brams Bierkamer) with nine specialty taps and 11 open wines, and an upstairs private room called Zaal de Prinses accommodating up to 16 for meetings and 35 for private dinners.

The business monetizes through per-cover food and beverage sales, fixed-price experiential arrangements (High Tea at €27.50, High Wine at €49.50, High Beer at undisclosed pricing), themed ticketed events priced between €27.50 and €60 per person, takeaway and delivery service, and rental of Zaal de Prinses for corporate meetings and private dinners. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer: customers reserve via the website, phone (073-5031612), or WhatsApp (+31 6 16021389), or purchase event tickets through SimpleTicket. Marketing relies on the company website, Facebook, Instagram, organic SEO, and a recurring events calendar.

There is no parent company, no external investors, and no disclosed revenue. Operational leadership is led by an owner referred to as Stef and head chef Jordy Bruens (joined 2018). The supplier base is exclusively local — including Bakkerij Kouwenberg, Keurslagerij van Kraaij, Heerkens Groente en Fruit, Wijnhuis Rosmalen, GLUK Thee, and De Laat Coffee — which underpins the venue's provenance-led positioning as 'the coziest eat-café of Brabant'.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Brasserie De Kroon: Independent Dutch brasserie/eetcafé offering casual lunch, dinner, and borrel service in a town-center location. Closely comparable to Eetcafé de Prins as an independently operated single-site casual F&B venue with similar pricing and audience.

Regional players

• Café Olivier: Dutch grand-café chain with a strong local/seasonal F&B offering and themed events. Comparable to Eetcafé de Prins across casual all-day dining, themed events, and a 'gezellig' atmosphere, though operating at chain scale.
• Anne&Max: Dutch grand-café chain combining all-day dining, specialty coffee, and meeting-friendly spaces. Comparable to Eetcafé de Prins across the café + meetings + community positioning, though again at chain scale rather than single-site.
• Dudok: Dutch horeca brand known for grand-café style all-day restaurants, pastries, and event-friendly venues. Comparable on the all-day café/dining plus event use case, with a similar 'gezellig' positioning to Eetcafé de Prins but operating multiple locations.
• Bagels & Beans: Dutch café-restaurant chain specializing in bagels, coffee, and casual all-day menus with locally sourced ingredients. Comparable as a casual Dutch eat-café concept with strong local sourcing narrative and similar per-cover pricing, though operating at chain scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bakker Bart: Dutch bakery-café chain combining coffee, light meals, and takeaway. Tangentially comparable to Eetcafé de Prins on the café + light F&B + takeaway combination, though focused more on bakery items than full-service lunch and dinner.
• La Place: Dutch-operated casual restaurant/grand-café chain offering all-day dining, buffets, and corporate locations. Comparable to Eetcafé de Prins as a casual, multi-format F&B concept in the Netherlands, though La Place operates at national chain scale rather than a single neighborhood site.
• Van der Valk: Large Dutch hospitality group combining hotels with full-service restaurants and meeting/event facilities. Comparable to Eetcafé de Prins on the combination of casual dining plus private meeting/event spaces (analogous to Zaal de Prinses), but operating as a nationwide chain.

Others

• De Koffiezaak: Dutch specialty coffee and café concept emphasizing local sourcing. Comparable to Eetcafé de Prins through the local-supplier coffee narrative (overlapping with De Laat Coffee as a supplier), though narrower in menu scope.
• SimpleTicket: Dutch event ticketing and reservation platform used by Eetcafé de Prins for online booking of themed evenings and High Wine/Beer experiences. Relevant as an ecosystem/infrastructure peer rather than a competing hospitality operator.
