New Rotterdam Café

Ayla

At Kruisplein in the heart of Rotterdam you can enjoy cocktails and dishes from all corners of the world. Enjoy the smell of an Italian trattoria, the colors of a Greek taverna, the flavors of a North African bazaar, the hot spiciness of a Thai night market and the hectic bustle of a Spanish mercado. Don't forget to taste one of the signature cocktails here, in addition to the timeless classics, Ayla has made a number of cocktails herself and distilled drinks that, according to her, go perfectly with the dishes on the menu.

YOLO Restaurant-Bar

YOLO on Admiraliteitskade serves lunch and dinner, but let's be honest: you mainly come here to enjoy the drinks and cocktails. Upon entering you immediately stand in front of a bar with more than 200 exclusive drinks. From a Japanese single malt to a Robert Mondavi fumé blanc. Should the sun show itself; The terrace overlooking the harbor is a very pleasant place to be.

PARQUET

At Parqiet you can really enjoy the outdoor feeling in a casual park atmosphere. The collaboration with local entrepreneurs makes the offer unique; For example, taste the coffee from Man met Bril, the sugar-free pastries from Sue or the bread from Jordy's.

Bar Restaurant Beautiful

In any case, the view is spectacular; right on the water and right next to the Maas in Rotterdam. You can go there for sushi and cocktails, but also for small dishes or a three-course menu with a good bottle of wine on the side.
