We’re working hard to make this a lovely place.
There’s a long to-do list before we open. Sunny Morning and Earthy Pink on the walls, and soon RAL 6019 on the floor: little by little, this space is becoming a restaurant. Come take a look! Here are some photos of the work currently in progress.
You’ll find us here.
Duke Ellingtonstraat 2, 2625 GB Delft (first floor). Free parking nearby, or take Tram 1 to the Diepenbrockstraat stop.

Frequently asked questions
Still wondering about something? These are the questions we hear most often. Can’t find your question here? Feel free to email us.
When will Tante Hap open?
We hope to open our doors in early January 2027! Behind the scenes, we’re working hard on the renovation, preparations and permits. That means we don’t have a confirmed opening date yet. Keep an eye on our website and social media!
What kind of restaurant will Tante Hap be?
Tante Hap will be a friendly, affordable restaurant in Buitenhof. A place to enjoy good food, meet people and discover dishes from different cultures. We’re giving local cooks the chance to show their talent and want to create a place where everyone feels at home.
Will I be able to have lunch or dinner here?
We plan to serve dinner on several evenings each week. We’re also exploring options for lunch, coffee, tea and something tasty. The exact opening hours and menu haven’t been decided yet. We’d love to hear your ideas about those too!
Is Tante Hap also for people using the sports hall and for children?
Of course! We’re right inside Sporthal Buitenhof and want to remain a welcoming place for people playing sports and local clubs. On Saturdays during the winter season, Tante Hap will continue to be the clubhouse for Excelsior korfball club. Families are very welcome too. Among other things, we’d like to create a play corner for young children.
How much will the food cost?
We don’t know exactly yet. We want as many people as possible to be able to eat at Tante Hap. At the same time, we believe it’s important to pay our local cooks fairly. So we’re looking for a good balance between affordable meals and fair prices.
Can I help out or work at Tante Hap?
We’d love to meet you! We’re looking for people who want to help build Tante Hap. Whether you’re interested in a paid job, gaining work experience, cooking as a local cook or simply contributing to activities, we’d be happy to get to know you. We can’t promise everyone a place, but we’d love to explore the possibilities together.
Who is behind Tante Hap?
Tante Hap is an initiative by New Future Lab, a social enterprise based in Delft. We believe good food brings people together and can create opportunities for residents and businesses. With support from the municipality of Delft and partners, and together with residents and local businesses, we’re building a new meeting place for Buitenhof and the surrounding area.
Can I share my ideas for Tante Hap?
Absolutely! There are still lots of decisions to make, from the menu and opening hours to activities and the interior. We’d love to know what local residents, people using the sports hall and other visitors would like. Have ideas, wishes or concerns? Please get in touch. Together, we can make Tante Hap a place where everyone feels at home.
