Business dinner in Gouda: at the table with clients or the team on the Markt

A business dinner is never just a dinner. It is a conversation that needs to go somewhere, a team closing out a year or a client you want to thank. The venue has to carry that: quiet enough to talk, special enough to remember, and with no fuss over the bill. This is how we do it at Gouds Glas on the Markt in Gouda, from a table for six to a team dinner for eighty.

Small party: the client dinner

For up to around eight people you book a table online or by phone and eat from the menu. Mention that it is a business dinner and we will choose a quiet spot, for example in the wine bar or on the mezzanine. The kitchen is Dutch with Mediterranean influences, with dishes from the Mibrasa charcoal oven and a wine suggestion with every dish. The extensive wine list does the rest.

Larger party: the group dinner

From 10 people we work with a group dinner from 30 euros per person: a set menu of two to six courses or shared dining, with a drinks arrangement of your choice (per drink, package or open bar). The wine bar then becomes your private dining room, or you get a section of the restaurant to yourselves. For up to 200 guests you hire the whole building exclusively.

The kitchen

The menu changes with the seasons and we work with local suppliers. Vegetarian is always on the menu; let us know about vegan, gluten-free and allergies in advance and the kitchen will take care of it within the same menu. Allergens are numbered per dish on the menu.

Corporate Christmas dinner and Christmas drinks

December is the busiest month on the Markt, with Gouda by Candlelight (Gouda bij Kaarslicht) on Friday 11 December 2026 as the highlight. We arrange a corporate Christmas dinner as a group dinner from 30 euros per person; Christmas drinks for the whole company as a corporate party with food and drink stations from 15 euros per person, for 10 to 200 guests. Book early: the popular dates go weeks in advance. Also read our guide to Christmas dinners in Gouda.
