HANNO - Groots café

A World Traveler's Dream

HANNO is a groots café—a grand café—where the entire world seems to have arrived on Doelenplein. Owners Hugo and Kim transformed this historic Delft location into a living gallery of their global adventures. Every corner tells a story: Colombian hammocks invite relaxation, Bolivian textiles drape the outdoor seating, Swiss red terrace tables anchor the space, and walls overflow with carefully curated souvenirs from across continents. The décor is intentionally eclectic, creating an atmosphere that feels both worldly and welcoming, where visitors genuinely feel at home in a different world.

Culinary Journey Without Fusion

The kitchen philosophy at HANNO celebrates authentic international flavors without resorting to fusion cuisine. The menu rotates regularly, featuring dishes inspired by countries like Lebanon, Kenya, Malaysia, Peru, Vietnam, and Thailand. Small plates designed for sharing encourage communal dining and exploration. Signature dishes include the Pork Belly Báhn Mì from Vietnam, Banana Roti from Thailand, Bunny Chow with carrot curry, and Gado Gado salad. Each dish arrives beautifully presented, reflecting both culinary skill and visual artistry. The restaurant maintains a dedicated allergy menu and actively accommodates dietary restrictions, with substantial vegetarian and vegan selections available daily.

Beverages and Bar Culture

HANNO's bar program reflects the same global curiosity as its kitchen. The wine, beer, and spirits selection spans multiple continents, with rotating craft beers that change with the seasons and the team's inspiration. Specialty cocktails are crafted with intention, designed to complement the evening atmosphere. Specialty coffee and freshly brewed filter coffee are available throughout the day, with generous portions at modest prices. The bar itself functions as a social hub, where staff engage warmly with guests and the bottle gallery becomes a conversation starter.

Flexible Dining Throughout the Day

Operating from early morning until late night, HANNO accommodates every dining occasion. Breakfast and brunch service begins at 8:30 AM, lunch flows into afternoon, and dinner service extends until midnight (1:00 AM on weekends). The restaurant welcomes spontaneous visitors and maintains most tables available for walk-ins, though reservations can be made up to one month in advance for up to nine people. The tropical terrace, shaded by mature plane trees, becomes particularly inviting during warm months and sunset hours.

Design and Atmosphere

The interior design philosophy embraces maximalism with purpose. Colorful textiles, vintage furnishings, and global artifacts create visual richness without feeling chaotic. The space maintains a relaxed, inclusive energy where both solo travelers and large groups feel equally welcome. Staff members are known for their friendliness and willingness to engage in conversation, adding genuine warmth to the experience. The overall aesthetic celebrates individuality and curiosity, making it a distinctive venue within Delft's dining landscape.
