Following the summer success of ’t Tuintje van Halbert, Restaurant Blumé surprises again with a unique temporary concept: Souterrain 1634. A pop-up restaurant for the modern flexitarian, opened in the characteristic basement of Hotel Corps de Garde at Oude Boteringestraat 74.
The historic location exudes atmosphere – the building dates back to 1634 and served at the time as a guardhouse for soldiers guarding the northern border of Groningen. It is now part of Garde Hotels, which renovated the building in 2021 into an alluring boutique hotel with a keen eye for detail and history.
Chef Henrice Dijks (Restaurant Blumé) and Jarno Lucas (Hotel Corps de Garde) developed a refined menu together in which vegetables take center stage. Guests can choose from six creative vegetarian dishes, with the option to add a fish or meat supplement. The concept aligns perfectly with the growing trend of conscious and sustainable eating.
The intimate setting of the basement creates a personal, almost mysterious experience – a place where gastronomy, history, and atmosphere come together.
Restaurant Blumé is known for its creative cuisine in which seasonal produce, craftsmanship, and refined flavors come together. With Souterrain 1634, the team demonstrates how gastronomy continues to reinvent itself — with respect for the past and an open view towards the future.
