Welcome at Bistro de Luif
Bistro de Luif is located on the ground floor of De Maaspoort in the centre of Venlo. You are always welcome, theatre-goer or not. At the Bistro we work with super fresh products that we get from growers and producers in our region. Like eggs from Blei, bread from Fleuren bakery, Zuivel van Nu and much more.
We make delicious and honest dishes that are just a little bit different. The famous burgers with delicious fluffy brioche bread and lunch dishes certainly taste like more. Are you coming to have a taste? You can enjoy our bistro inside or outside on the terrace at the Oude Markt.
Where our roots lie
Bistro de Luif is a small remnant of the former fourteenth-century fortifications in the first quadrant of Klein Italia in Venlo. De Luif was situated at the harbour, enclosed between the Oude Markt, the Maasboulevard, De Maaspoort and the former town hall. In the seventeenth century wall houses were built on and against the arches, which were later demolished, leaving the remaining city wall exposed. De Luif was the only part of the city wall where no road ran along the inside. The old part of De Luif is visible on the Maasside of our building.
