# De Waag Delft – Where history and conviviality come together
In the historic heart of Delft, right on the Markt, you will find one of the city's most unique establishments: De Waag. A beautiful place where centuries-old history, hospitality, and delicious food and drink come together.
The history of De Waag dates back as far as 1342. For centuries, goods such as cheese, butter, and vegetables were weighed here. The impressive historical scale from 1647 can still be admired and serves as a reminder of the important role this building once played in Delft's commercial life.
Since April 2026, De Waag has had a completely renewed look. The atmospheric interior, the warm ambiance, and the updated menu ensure that this historic meeting place is fully ready for the future, without losing its authentic character.
Whether you stop by for a good cup of coffee, an extensive lunch, a cozy drink, or a delicious dinner, at De Waag it is all about enjoyment. The menu offers a nice combination of familiar classics and surprising dishes. You have also come to the right place for a craft beer, a good glass of wine, or a tasty cocktail.
What makes De Waag so special is the combination of history and the lively atmosphere of Delft's city centre. The monumental building, the beautiful location on the Markt, and the welcoming reception make it a place where you will want to linger a little longer.
Our tip: Are you discovering Delft with a walking route from Loculy? Then be sure to plan a stop at De Waag. Take the time for a delicious lunch, a drink, or a convivial get-together, and be sure to admire the centuries-old scales. A special place where you not only enjoy good food and drinks but also experience a piece of Delft history.
