Le Journal

Hilversum, Netherlands

Based in a former printing press building, Le Journal turned into a hip bar-restaurant. It's a good restaurant with international cuisine, €21.50 for three courses. The outside seating is particularly attractive on warm summer evenings. From 22:30, it turns into a bar popular among visitors in the age range 18-25. At the ground floor you can chill on the couches, upstairs feels more like a nightclub with a dance floor and loud music. Ordering beer here is generally cheaper than elsewhere, around €1.75 each. Unlike other bars, Le Journal is open till 02:00 on Thursdays. On Saturdays the music is particularly loud, even at ground floor, so forget about having conversations that night.
