What a cool place! if you are going with a group, have in mind that all the group should be there before order the food because the restaurant has a different model. You first will pick the fish, then the wine/drinks and only after this you will be seated. I really enjoy the experience. Also, I would definitely buy the restaurant t-shirt! ;)

A different dining experience for me. First, you’ll get the sardine can as your table number, then the waiter(ess) will lead you to the market to pick the raw & fresh ingredients. The staff is so patient and friendly in explaining all the ingredients and cooking style. Then you’ll go to their wine/beverage area to pick your drinks of the night. Overall, food quality and freshness meeting our expectation. The cooking style is more Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavour, probably also depending on what you ordered. The staffs were consistently checking out on our dining experience, which is highly appreciated. Last but not least, their non-alcoholic cocktails are so good. We ordered the passion fruit and coffee cocktail, and we love it! Highly recommended if you’re in Netherlands.

If you’re a seafood lover, book your table for the weekend! We were welcomed very nicely with a glass of champagne and an explanation of the concept. I loved the simplicity with the high-end touch of the experience taking you through the fish and the wine market. Seating area is relaxed and comfy, great service and recommendations from the staff. Delicious food! Please try soft shell crab. 10/10

Definitely the must visit if you are in Rotterdam and craving for some seafoods. The whole interior is given a modern retro vibe and the foods just delicious! ( do remember to get more breads to dip with all those sauces!!) and highly recommended the Dutch made white wine ((( surprisingly good

Overall we had a wonderful evening at Pesca. The concept is very unique and it’s lovely speaking to the staff about what to choose and how each dish is prepared. The ambience, music and staff were great and made the night feel special. The food itself was incredible from the starters to the main course and we were very impressed with the quality of the fish including the side dishes aswell. My only criticisms would be on the tuna ceviche starter which although was delicious, I found it to be very expensive for the small portion that you get. However all in all I highly recommend this place to anyone !

A great and unique seafood experience in Rotterdam city centre! You pick your own fish or other seafood and choose how you would like to have it served. Afterwards you choose a wine or have it paired by knowledgable staff. All items were very tasty and definitely fresh. Special mention for the irish oysters, the bread with herbal cream and the monkfish! Even the side dishes were very flavourful. Have not seen this concept before, but it is truly a great dining experience, especially in small groups so you can share. Will definitely be coming back!

Great and refreshing concept. Located in city center of Rotterdam, near Blaak and the Meent. Restaurant is big and spacious. All seafood restaurant. Check in, after you go to the counter with all fresh seafood. After go to the wine counter. After you will be seated and the chosen seafood will be served. Service is great, not too slow/quick. Food is amazing without exceptions. Staff is friendly, service more casual. Must try!

Really great concept in this restaurant. You select the fish and the wine upfront and then get the dishes at the table. We really enjoyed it, also great service and nice location in the middle of Rotterdam.

Such a great concept… choose the fish … go to next stap to get recommendations on the wine… and just enjoy the ride afterwards… loved it! The fact that they recognize and act in the sustainability aspect deserves additional recognition and respect!

If you love fish, fresh and good quality seafood, exceptional staff - that’s the place for you!!! When choosing fish in market - choice did not look so exciting, but when all meals were presented to the table - it was over expectations. My top choice and reccomendations go to: Scallop, octopus and fresh salad with miso! What a taste! I would say also that 100 points go to staff, from welcoming, explaining concept, helping to choose dishes and wine. Restaurant look simple and quiet in the start of the evening, but as evening proceeds - it gets very cosy and vibrant. It was our first time at Pesca, but for sure not the last when we are back to Rotterdam. Highly recommended! And really the best feedback for the staff!!!!

1. You will choose a bottle from the "wine shop" to your table / or order cocktails from the bar🥂 2. You will enjoy some oysters or cold starter until you will be called🗣 3. Then you will be led to the "fish market" to choose fresh ingredients with an explanation of the dish preparation🦐🐙 4. You will enjoy the food & drinks🍽😋 FYI, the restaurant doesn't have a menu by the way🙃

A very pleasant experience I must say when we arrived there for the very first time. Staff was extremely helpful and did not bother providing us with information when asked. The dinner consists of you picking out the seafood you'd like to have, the wine to be served with it and thereafter you can comfortable sit at your table enjoying your time while your food is being prepared.

Staff was very kind, fast and helpful as they led us to our table and explained their concept of the restaurant. The dishes are so fresh as you literally pick them out yourselves. There’s also a wine tasting area available to order wine and drinks as well. A few times I had to ask about the remaining dishes and the staff was happy to help and the dishes would follow up quickly. I highly recommend trying the octopus, so good. The rest was also as delicious.

We had booked a table for 2 for lunch at Pesca Rotterdam, we were welcomed by 2 x complimentary glasses of Cava 🥂 which was a nice surprise. The hostess explained the Pesca fish theatre concept to us, then we were directed to our table. Our table was not clean, had bread crumbs everywhere on the table and seating, a bit disappointed our table had not been cleaned / prepared. However we asked the waitress to clean our table which she did. We then proceeded to select our fish and the rest of the food for our lunch, which was absolutely delicious. The food was really fresh and tasty, we shared a bottle of Cava and really enjoyed ourselves.

Interesting concept. Scallop (especially the sauce) is highly recommended! First time trying out soft shell crabs, but was a bit disappointed - tastes more or less like fried fish. Overall was delicious but a little bit overpriced.

We ordered 6 dishes and 2 desserts for us two. It was delicious. Recommend to come here if u love fish/seafood and want a different kind of experience. U can go to their fish and wine market where u can decide what u would like to eat and drink. It was fun, something new. And the service was really friendly!

What a fun night! The concept of the “fish market” was a very cool experience. Was fun to pick out the fish for our menu and the person helping us pick out our fish was very well educated and knowledgeable. Was also awesome to talk with their staff to pick out the wine that paired best with our menu too. Once we got to the table I do wish the service was a little better. The food did take a minute to come to the table but was worth it. Would have liked for the wine to be poured and for the staff to help show the best way to eat the fish to avoid the bones but was very pleased with the evening and would highly recommend.
