De Firma

Nijmegen


Given its near-water location on a 16th-century street in the so-called 'lower town', De Firma's appealing beachy vibe is appropriate. Vintage, sea-blue floor tiling and all-white tables and chairs create a trendy nautical vibe, and the shared tapas-style dishes cater to all moods and tastes with their colourful world influences.

Pick from shared creations from the 'garden, sea or meadow' or go for the gut-busting menu (meat platter, three cold dishes, three hot dishes and dessert).
