About What to eat in Rotterdam

What to eat in Rotterdam is a company with a local service area.

A port city without a historic centre, and it shows in the food: less tradition, more new.

The kapsalon

Invented here in 2003 and now everywhere. For the original, go to west Rotterdam where it started.

The Markthal

A covered market in a building you cannot miss, with stalls from nearly every cuisine. Touristy, but the upper level and the edges deliver more than the main walkway.

Rotterdam South

Cape Verdean, Turkish, Surinamese and Moroccan, centred on Beijerlandselaan and the Afrikaanderwijk. Cheaper and often better than the city centre.

Herring without onion

Rotterdam takes it plain more often than Amsterdam. Not a rule, but a habit people hold to.

The new places

Katendrecht and the Deliplein were docks and are now full of restaurants. The shift took about fifteen years.

Where to look

Katendrecht for restaurants, South for world food, West for the kapsalon.
