The place

COCO is the lunch bar of the WSHS, the hotel set in Gouda's former orphanage, two minutes from the Sint-Janskerk. It has a long bar with velvet stools and golden lamps, and a short lunch menu for midday.

When to go

Wednesday to Sunday, with lunch from 12:00 to 16:00 and open until six for a coffee. Sunday is one of the few quiet options in the centre for eating, since the Sint-Jan closes to visitors.

Getting there

On the Spieringstraat, behind the Sint-Janskerk, about fifteen minutes' walk from the station.

What to order: a midday lunch before the Sint-Jan, which is two minutes away.
