The restaurant was formerly located in the old library of a 15th-century Dominican abbey, hence the name "De Librije". In 2015, the establishment moved to replace its secondary location on the other side of the Thorbeckegracht, which housed the "Librije's Zusje" (Librije's little sister) as part of the "Librije's Hotel". The chef de cuisine was Jonnie Boer and his wife Thérèse Boer-Tausch is maître and sommelier.In 1992, the couple—both of whom already worked at the restaurant—purchased the establishment.
