Cafe Batavia

The second oldest building on the historic square is Cafe Batavia, which was erected at the beginning of the 19th century. Originally the residence and office of the Dutch governors, and later on used as a warehouse, the Grand Salon was added to the second floor in the 1930s and Cafe Batavia, a restaurant, bar and coffee house was born. After undergoing massive renovations at the start of the ’90s, Cafe Batavia has now returned to its former grandeur and elegance.
