Celebrate Valentine’s Day Groningen!
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and there’s no better time to do something special together. What could be more romantic than a weekend in the city of Groningen? At Hotel Miss Blanche, a boutique hotel in Groningen, you’ll find the perfect spot to celebrate this love-filled occasion. Our collection of 11 unique and atmospheric (canal)houses each have their own story to tell, making them the perfect backdrop for your unforgettable Valentine’s Day escape.
1. Valentine’s Day dining in Groningen
Groningen is home to an impressive range of restaurants that never fail to impress with their delicious dishes. A few of our personal favorites for a romantic dinner are De Betere Tijden, a charming spot where reservations are highly recommended and especially for Valentine’s night, Cicci’s where they have an Italian cuisine in an intimate setting or Bob Kookt, also in the center of Groningen. Enjoy a casual yet stylish dinner experience by sitting at the bar, in the wine cellar, or at a table in the restaurant. Watch the chef work his magic in the open kitchen. Whether you’re after an intimate dinner for two or a lively evening with friends, the atmosphere is always warm and inviting.
2. A romantic canal stroll
No Valentine’s experience in Groningen would be complete without a romantic walk along its picturesque canals. Stroll hand-in-hand along the Hoge der A, Kleine der A, and the Lage der A. These three iconic canals each tell their own story. The Hoge der A was the key route for large ships in the 17th and 18th centuries, making it the highest of the three. The Lage der A was used by smaller cargo vessels, while the Kleine der A is the narrowest, offering a peaceful vibe. Together, they form an important part of Groningen’s heritage, lined with beautiful buildings and centuries of rich history.
3. A tip for wine lovers, with the comfort of your room
Did you know that Wijn van Jurjen provides the wines for Café de Sigaar? We know just how delicious they are, and we’re not keeping that secret from you! In the heart of Groningen, you can pick up a wine-tasting kit from Wijn van Jurjen. The kit includes a carefully curated selection of wines, along with specially recorded audio guides from Jurjen himself, teaching you how to pair the wines perfectly. It’s a fantastic way to deepen your wine knowledge while enjoying premium wines from the comfort of your own room. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
4. Breakfast in the morning at Café de Sigaar
Wrap up your Valentine’s weekend on a high note with a delicious breakfast at Café de Sigaar, part of Hotel Miss Blanche. Each morning, you can enjoy a fresh breakfast buffet paired with the finest coffee from World of Barista. As soon as the sun comes up, take your breakfast outside on our terrace, where you can watch the peaceful flow of the canal while soaking in the atmosphere of Groningen. Café de Sigaar is open daily, from breakfast to late-night drinks, and also offers a delightful lunch and dinner menu.
