Hidden in the heart of Groningen, where ordinary evenings transform into extraordinary memories. Tales was born in 2025, not as a traditional restaurant, but as an answer to a longing. A longing for more. More story, more feeling, more meaning. Not just a dinner, but an experience. Not a standard menu, but a world where every detail matters.

Tales isn't just a place to eat. It's a portal. To wonder. To imagination. To an evening that feels like a story in which you are the protagonist. Each season opens a new chapter, with different flavors, new atmospheres, and unexpected twists. You discover what's on the menu not with your eyes, but with your curiosity.

Our inspiration lies in myths, fairy tales, and legends you might recognize, but have never experienced quite like this. Every dish, every cocktail, every bit of ambiance contributes to a larger story. The scent of cinnamon in an autumnal forest, the glint of glass in a hidden potion, the soft whisper of velvet on a wooden table edge. Everything fits. Everything lives. Everything feels.

Tales is an escape from the ordinary. A sensory adventure where flavors whisper, light breathes, and time briefly reverses to make room for something better. Our Talemakers don't stand at a passive bar or behind a random stove. They create worlds. They tell stories with flavors, textures, colors, and scents that linger in your memory. Preferably locally sourced, always consciously, and always mindfully.

What drives us isn't a trend, but a conviction: that hospitality is more than just politeness. That experience begins with meaning. And that everyone deserves to escape the daily grind and step into something greater. Something that moves. Something that lingers.

Welcome to Tales. The door is open. The world awaits. And the story begins when you decide to step inside.
