    A great place to sit and enjoy some scrumptious food when the sun it out. Location: (4/5) The location is great as it’s central and quite close to the central station. The terrace is also great. Super large and well placed to have sufficient space between all the tables. Food and Drink: (4/5) Great options of food and drink. We had a beer that was locally brewed in the Netherlands. It was a great tasting beer and recommend trying it. The burger was excellent and recommend getting it. The nachos were also quite good and very well balanced in terms of flavours. All in all, you cannot go wrong with the food here. The portion sizes are great, the presentation is good and the flavours are good. Service: (5/5) The team here was really great and was quick to come to the table and help out for anything. Summary: (4/5) All in all a great option in central Rotterdam.

    Very nice bar close to the centre of Rotterdam. Great drinks and tables for big groups, even though the service took a while. The prices are fair for the location.

    Really enjoyed the salmon miso sushi and breaded halibut which the waiter recommended (with a detailed explanation!). Nice place to sit outside when the weather is good. They lost one star from me because they didn't have low sodium soy sauce which I would expect from a high-end place serving sushi :)

    July 2019 : Good staff on this extreme heat day. Had nice lunch outside. Simple but good. Nice place for lunch, especially on the terrace. Devember 2018 : Nice place for a drink with your colleques. Staff is attending and quick, sometimes a little over the top, really too much, served with some nice snacks in a good atmosphere. Not tried the menu so don't know how that looks like.

    Great service and superb food. We sat outdoors early evening for an hour or so after a busy day and were really well looked after. The food quality was wonderful and everything really well presented.

    Perfect food, staff is very professional. Even though they have 10k people here around for the match Spain vs Croatia, there is no wait for food or drinks.

  • 5/5 Mariana S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place to stop. Everything was great: the food, the waiters, the music. Definitely I recommend it.

  • 5/5 Johnny D. 1 year ago on Google
    We had lunch here and it was amazing! 3 people had 3 different things, and all were great! Highly recommend the surf and turf baguette. Service was quick, friendly and efficient

    Shared with restaurant in advance that I couldn’t eat blue cheese due to my pregnancy as risk for baby. Still served me the dish with blue cheese and insisted/guaranteed it was only Parmesan. Blue cheese has very characteristic strong smell it was quite evidently not Parmesan. Had to skip meal. Shame since entrance and desert were quite tasty.

  • 2/5 Javier Aragoneses S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was really pleasant. However, there were two big issues that ruined the experience: inside, the music was pretty loud for a restaurant, and the timing of the service was also defective; my food came around 10 minutes earlier than my partner's. And last but not least, the price: If you are going to charge 20–30 euros for a dish, it should be a really nice one; they were not. They were decent, but not worth that price.

    I ordered 3 whiskeys. I never had that diluted alcohol in my life and I’m from Eastern Europe where this is a common scam. Moreover, the lady/man (it was a transgender drag individual) at the front was extremely rude as we were as polite as possible. I would not come if I were you.

    Nice bar and Restaurant with good food and kind service, we always come back to that place when we are back in town

  • 5/5 Kyriaki R. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there for lunch based on reviews and proximity from our hotel. We were greeted in the entrance by the staff and given table options from which we could choose. The decoration and the entire ambience was very captivating and even sexy. Furthermore, the food was delicious and the service excellent.

    Very friendly staff, cool athmosphere. Great food and fair prices considering Rotterdam Central location. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Lars V. 1 year ago on Google
    The steaks here are top notch, well worth the price. Friendly and attentive service, busy place so make a reservation.

  • 4/5 Jose Paulo Margarido M. 1 year ago on Google
    Let's describe per parts. The place is really nice, plenty of tables and the service was good, although the place was crowded. The food was good, mainly the desert, the cheesecake was awesome! The meat was good, but for the price paid for that, I think it was overrated. The meat was kind of saltless and no other sauce. The wines served were nice and on the correct temperature.

    Scammers!! We ordered 2 drinks one alcoholic and one redbull, they gave us virgin mojito that we didn’t return because we didn’t want to make a big fuss about it but they charged us for an alcoholic one, the waiter was not understanding and they were trying to convince us that we got the alcoholic drink ( even though they were not the waiter that served us) and the prices were unnecessary high

  • 4/5 Martin C. 1 year ago on Google
    have been only once for a company party, but was impressed how well it was organized, staff very professional, friendly, helpful, nice and tasty snacks served one after another unfortunately this is one of the places in the very city centre, so always totally packed, which will probably prevent me from coming back

  • 1/5 АА �. 1 year ago on Google
    Disgusting service in the restaurant. The bill had to wait about 20 minutes. When they brought the bill, there was a dish in it that we did not order. When we drew the waiter’s attention to this, he didn’t even apologize, he just silently brought a new account. Disgusting place, I do not advise visiting it.

  • 5/5 Alice Marina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to have a bite in Rotterdam. The staff was friendly and the price is okay. Nice location as well. I would come back :)

  • 4/5 Lia F. 5 years ago on Google
    Ribs and coleslaw were top. Brisket was also nice, and my boyfriend enjoyed his burger and fries. It's nice that they separate the diners from the main bar area. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The main pro for this restaurant: being open past 10, which not a lot of restaurants in rotterdam are, even on the weekend.

  • 5/5 Selçuk E. 5 years ago on Google
    had a great time here, the staff are just as great as the food. ambiance is really comfortable unlike the noisy places nearby. steak tartar, bavette steak were great, but the winter apple dessert was just splendid.

  • 4/5 Edward U. 2 years ago on Google
    Located centrally in a Rotterdam shopping area. Seated immediately by friendly waiter during a busy lunchtime. One quick drink and food order - and within a few minutes I was happily eating away on some burrata, pesto, tomatoes and bread. Food quality was very good, burrata was creamy and filling. Just what was needed during a quick lunchtime break.

👍 Had a delicious brunch with my mom here. Food was great and served very fast. The service was friendly but, unfortunately, a bit disorganized and chaotic at times. We liked the atmosphere and the location. We recommend visiting Dudok!

🫤 Disappointing. Always crowded and so much recommended place for Middle Eastern cuisine, was quite a disappointment. Because of the crowdedness and the acoustics, it is impossible to have a conversation without shouting at each other. The basics, such as hummus and labneh were okay, and it’s definite...
