Welcome to Eindhoven, a vibrant city brimming with exciting activities for everyone!
Eindhoven has a variety of restaurants near the city center or close to the PSV Stadium. Many are within walking distance of the stadium or city center, but there are a few things to consider.
Spontaneous dining is possible, but not for 30+ people. Be sure to make a reservation! If you need help ask the organizers.
Transportation is easier by bike, we recommended to rent a bike if you want to cover more area
Most places have vegetarian options although a bit limited.
You can find food near the stadium at "Strijp-S" (pronounces stripe - S) and the city center, which are the larger areas. There are other areas called Wilhelminaplein and Victoria Park also close to the stadium, they are a bit smaller but cozier. There are other restaurants besides those places, but they might not be at a walking distance (~10min walk), but might be reachable by bike or car ...
During weekdays many restaurants will close around midnight or earlier.
Fridays are generally busy, definitely make a reservation!
