Restaurant Rotonde

Vegetarian Fine Dining

We respect the value of ingredients by preparing them as pure as possible. That doesn't make it less adventurous; through special combinations, vegetables you may never have heard of and a glass of thought-provoking natural wine, we hope to wow you. We look forward to seeing you at Restaurant Rotonde!

Location

Nieuwe Binnenweg

Take a wander

A pleasant balance between popular, multicultural and modern in the field of food, drinks & shopping.

Our favorites are Koekela, Rotown, Boudewijn, and cafe Steijn

De Matroos en het Meisje

The Sailor and the Girl

French style à la carte, with surprising flavors that fit the season. A cozy place on the south side in Katendrecht. Near the SS Rotterdam. 

Also in the area and worth checking out are; Fenix Food Factory, Food Hallen and Hotel New York

Black Smoke

BBQ, Booze, & Attitude

The Dutch and Belgians show how to do American BBQ.

A little out of the way, but always a fun experience. 

Harvest Cafe & Bakery

Great Coffee and Breakfast

Where good coffee, good food & good service meet. Coffee is our life! And after coffee comes food and why not serve it with pride! We were born in the hands of Michelin star chefs and ended our hospitality journey in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to Francois Geurds, Jonnie & Thérèse Boer & the Mulberry group we earned our stripes to go on and fly solo.

by Jarmusch

Diner style Breakfast.

“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that’s why we serve it just as you want it all day long!”

Cafecito

Good Coffee in Town

Take a walk through the market square and you'll find you are not so far from this little coffee shop on the Meent.

De Maaskantine

Fun Summer Vibes

Grab a (lounge) chair on our terrace, sandy beach, or a prime spot along the river, and sit back and relax.

As always, you can enjoy BBQ foods inspired by America’s East Coast with a twist and sip on beachy lemonades and cocktails. The best views are included with every drink and bite.

Easily accessible with Watertaxi Rotterdam

Markethal

A Must See

A great attraction in the center of Rotterdam. Worth a visit to just see the building. You will find a variety of foods and drinks to try. Go for the fresh Stroopwafels, if the line is not too long.

 

The original market is located just outside the hall. Open only on  Tuesdays and Saturdays, if your around, it's fun to wander through the various stalls.

kubushuis

Funky

Located near the Markethal. These houses give a unique skyline to the east part of the city. It's nice to just walk around and wander what it would be like to live inside. Created in the 1980s by Piet Blom. The complex was an eye-opener for future projects and has helped put Rotterdam on the map for it's architecture.

Kunsthal rotterdam

Art Museum

The Kunsthal Rotterdam is one of the leading cultural institutions in the Netherlands. With over twenty exhibitions a year, the Kunsthal offers a programme that is dynamic and always surprising.

blijdorp

Rotterdam Zoo

We really enjoy the zoo in Rotterdam. It's a short walk from the center and is home to large number of animals. 

Also, houses a great aquarium.

Kinderdijk

Dive into a world of windmills, water and willpower. The canals, mills and pumping stations of Kinderdijk have kept our feet dry for over 700 years. Board the tour boat, step inside the museum mills and discover the personal stories of the millers.

amsterdam

We do not visit the city often, but it is nice to wonder for the day, visit a few museums and sit on a terrace with a beer. 

For a different perspective, walk out the backside of central station and take a free ferry to the Eye film museum or NDSM Werf to enjoy the river IJ. 

antwerpen

Helen's first job was on the outskirts of Antwerp. The commuting was a nightmare, but we absolutely fell in love with the city. 

We have many recommendations and would love to share if you're planning to add Antwerp to your itinerary. 

It's a short drive and even shorter train ride from Rotterdam Central. 

delft

A picturesque canal-ringed town, Delft is known first and foremost for its signature blue-and-white Delft Blue pottery. In addition to its namesake Delftware, the city was also the birthplace of Johannes Vermeer, a painter from the Dutch Golden Age who was best known for his work depicting women in everyday domestic scenes, most notably the mysterious Girl With The Pearl Earring.
