Restaurants to visit
Fenix Food Factory
This small-scale food hub is located in the Fenixloods, a former warehouse, at the Katendrecht peninsula. Here you can enjoy artisanal food and products from among others the Kaapse Brouwers brewery, Booij Kaasmakers cheese, the Firma Bijten butchers, Jordy’s Bakery and Rechtstreex fruit and vegetables. The Kaapse Kitchen serves affordable dishes from different Rotterdam chefs that vary weekly. The terrace on the adjacent quay offers a great view of the Rotterdam skyline.
Fitzgerald
You won’t find standard dishes on Fitzgerald’s compact, seasonal menu – that changes monthly – but sophisticated, international flavours and ingredients. These are accompanied by a wide choice of known and unknown wines. Another surprise: the beautiful secret garden of this restaurant and finger food bar in the historical Oude Haven.
HMB Restaurant
HMB Restaurant occupies the ground floor of one of Rotterdam's most imposing buildings, De Rotterdam by architect Rem Koolhaas. Through the huge glass panes or on the outdoor patio, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Rotterdam skyline and the Erasmus Bridge while you dine. The menu features 25 refined side dishes and over 100 wines.
Restaurant De Jong
Chef and owner Jim de Jong works with the best that nature offers. Vegetables, flowers and herbs from the kitchen garden play a leading role in his dishes. You can choose from two daily menus: one with meat and fish or one with only vegetables. The restaurant is located in de Hofbogen, a former railway viaduct.
De Matroos en het Meisje
The interior of the restaurant is audacious yet tasteful with Delfts Blue print on the walls and the famous Dutch checkered tea towel used as napkins. This boldness and style is also reflected in the dishes. The menu changes regularly and is inspired by the market and the season.
FG Restaurant
Once the assistant chef of Heston Blumenthal at The Fat Duck, nowadays one of the best chefs in Rotterdam: Francois Geurds (FG). His fine dining FG Restaurant offers you quite an experience. It’s all about molecular cooking here, with the power of simple and pure biological ingredients. Expect unexpected combinations, often created at the table itself.
