          Sidewalk Cafe/ Restaurant "t Vat"
 
Along the same square, next door to the hotel is the best-known sidewalk café / restaurant in town. Anytime is the right time for an enjoyable break. Every day you can get delightful, simple meals, a nice soup, or just simply a snack there from 8 AM to midnight. Most famous are its delicious satays. But also the Vat Shrimps, Vatburger, the Cassava and Soato soup are very popular.		        
 

‘t Vat’ is famous abroad for its New Year’s Eve Surifesta Owru Yari street party. This is only one of the various annual  festivities.

’t Vat’ was established in 1981. From the very start it has been the quintessential football cafe. It was the favourite haunt of the Cosmos veterans football club, for example. The regulars even formed a Vat Team. Though Cosmos and the old Vat Team are no longer there, we still have the internal Vat football pools during the World Cup and the European Cup, and gather to root for Holland and Brazil.

From Wednesday to Sunday there is live-entertainment at 't VAT Plaza.
Every last Thursday of the Month, hotel Zeelandia Suites organizes a Tourist Night in cooperation with ’t VAT, showing the diversity of Suriname in many ways. 

’t VAT’ won the "Fernand de Rooy Tourism Award " in 1998, the highest national honour in the field of tourism. In 2000, the Caribbean Employers Confederation also awarded ’t VAT’ a prize.

          Coffee Corner
 

Next to ‘t VAT’ is the Coffee Corner (Het Koffiehoekje), where you can have a nice cup of coffee, cappuccino or a strong Irish coffee, and also ice-cream and delicious deserts such as Tiramisu and fresh fruits. But the warm, savoury Surinamese sandwiches and tosti's are very popular too. Have these with a glass of cold, pure fruit juice, and your day is complete!

          Brazilian Restaurant Bacana
 

On the tropical veranda of the colonial building you can enjoy an authentic Brazilian dinner. Compose your dinner with as many courses as you like from the large selection on the menu. We especially recommend the dish of calamari and shrimp, the feijoado and the Brazilian barbecue.

     
And of course you can expect a delicious, cold Caiperiña and a tasty snack.
