The Barn

Restaurant

The Barn is a unique restaurant in the heart of Gouda, where the love for Gouda cheese and quality meat is the driving force behind everything we do. Since opening our doors in 2010, we’ve made it our mission to create dishes that celebrate the pure, honest flavors of the Dutch countryside. Inspired by the region’s rich cheese-making history and the finest cuts of meat, we offer a menu full of comfort food with a gourmet twist. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly grilled steak, a burger loaded with melted Gouda, or a vegetarian dish with robust flavors—you’ll find something to love at The Barn.

Pure ingredients, local roots

At The Barn, everything starts with the ingredients. We work with local farmers and traditional butchers, mainly from the nearby Groene Hart, to ensure that every piece of meat and every slice of cheese we serve is of the highest quality and traceable in origin.

Our meat is prepared using American-style techniques. Thanks to our imported Yoder Smoker and professional broiler, our chefs can bring out rich, deep flavors that make every dish memorable.

We believe that when you start with honest, pure ingredients and combine them with skill and passion, you get something truly special. That’s what we serve—no shortcuts, just real food.

A feast for every occasion

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed lunch, an indulgent dinner, or a celebration with friends, The Barn is the perfect place to enjoy warm hospitality and delicious food.
