A Place with a Story

For generations, this location has been a familiar place in the heart of Mahaai. Many remember it as De Tropen, others know it as Hanchi Mahaai and Grand Café Mahaai.


Over the years, this has been a place where people gathered to celebrate, connect and create memories. From family dinners and casual lunches to live entertainment, special events and unforgettable evenings with friends, this location has always been part of the community.


While names have changed throughout the years, one thing has always remained the same: bringing people together.

A New Chapter

After an extensive renovation, we are proud to introduce Mahaai Grand Café.

With a fresh new look and a renewed vision, we have reimagined this beloved location while preserving the warmth, hospitality and gezelligheid that guests have enjoyed for decades.


Mahaai Grand Café is a place where locals and visitors can come together to enjoy great food, refreshing drinks, live entertainment and memorable moments in a modern and welcoming setting.

The Same Spirit, A New Experience

On June 1, 2026 we proudly reopen our doors and continue the story of this special place.


Whether you remember De Tropen, spent years visiting Hanchi Mahaai, or enjoyed evenings at Grand Café Mahaai, we invite you to be part of this new chapter.


The name is new. The interior is new. The experience has been elevated.

But the heart of this place remains exactly where it has always been: in the people, the atmosphere and the community that made it special from the very beginning.



Welcome to Mahaai Grand Café.
