Christmas 2026

Celebrate the holidays at Post-Plaza!

Some occasions call for more than just a good lunch or dinner. The Christmas season is one such time.

For us, it is not about excess or following traditions for tradition’s sake. It is about gathering around the table, enjoying excellent food, and taking time for one another. Housed in one of Leeuwarden’s most distinctive buildings, we invite you to join us this holiday season for a Christmas lunch designed for sharing, or an elaborate dinner where flavor takes center stage.

Chef Age Kemker draws inspiration from the principles of Dutch Cuisine: cooking with locally sourced produce, working in harmony with the seasons, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves. The result is a surprising Christmas menu defined by pure flavors, culinary craftsmanship, and a contemporary take on Dutch gastronomy.

Whether you’re joining us with family, friends, or colleagues, Christmas at our place isn’t about the hustle or the obligations. It’s about relaxing and enjoying yourself—with a table full of exquisite dishes, a fine glass of wine, and conversations that naturally stretch on longer than planned.

That is Christmas at Post-Plaza. A focus on what truly matters. And, above all: really good food.

“We love cooking with ingredients provided by nature, because we want to make sustainable, delicious, and healthy eating an appealing choice. By sourcing locally, we ensure that every single day, we can serve up wonderful, fresh dishes.” — Age Kemker, Head Chef
