The nicest terraces in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the city to enjoy a drink. We have plenty of places for a beer, cocktail or delicious lunch. Below you will find an overview of our favorite terraces spread over the center.

Café Van Zanten

If you walk across the Meent, you can’t miss Van Zanten. It is really a concept and the terrace of Rotterdam. One of the nicest brown cafes with a huge terrace, in the middle of the city. The ideal place to people watch and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to good beers, they also have a delicious lunch menu.

Meent 44

Leukste Terrassen Rotterdan

Croos

In the green Nieuw-Crooswijk you will find the great Croos. The perfect place to have lunch on the terrace. They have sandwiches and the best coffee. After your lunch you can order a homemade cake, highly recommended! At the weekend you can also go there for a nice drink. You can make a reservation or just walk by and see if there is a spot.

Exercitiestraat 2b

NRC

The Witte de Withstraat is the famous nightlife street in Rotterdam. Our favorite Nieuw Rotterdams Café is located in this street full of cozy terraces. This old editorial office of the NRC has now been transformed into a restaurant and terrace in Rotterdam. Here you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. The poke bowls are especially delicious! Most snacks are vegan, super tasty and very nice for vegetarians. The burgers on the menu are special and have an extra twist, such as brie and green asparagus on the burger. In addition to the good food, they have draft beers, cocktails and good wines. Enough choice for everyone!

Witte de Withstraat 63

Prachtig

Prachtig (literally: Beautiful) is a special terrace on the Maas. In the sun you have a beautiful view of the Erasmus Bridge, Willems Bridge and Kop Van Zuid. From delicious gin to wine with tasty snacks. In addition to a drink, they also serve delicious coffee with cake from Koekela. Prachtig is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 11:30 pm.

Willemsplein 77

Fenix Foodfactory

The Fenix Foodfactory belongs to Rotterdam entrepreneurs who love well-made, tasty food and give it their own twist. Here you can taste, shop and learn how products are made. It’s a nice place and you have a large terrace outside where you can taste everything inside. Enjoy a delicious sandwich from Jordy’s Bakery or a nice wine from Blije Wijnen in the sun.

Biergarten

Behind the Schieblock near Rotterdam Central you will find Biergarten. A large terrace in Rotterdam surrounded by various entertainment venues, such as Annabel and Poing Arcade. Perfect to have a drink before going out or just to have a drink, but don’t want to make it too late. The name says it all, but Biergarten is completely open air and there are several bars where you can get a drink. There are plenty of places to sit or stand. Besides beers, they also have delicious burgers.

Schievest 18

Dudok

Everyone knows Dudok from the delicious apple pie and the location on the Meent. Since 2018, a second location has been added in Rotterdam. Dudok In Het Park is located in a national monument. You sit in a park, but at the same time on the edge of the city with a view of the Euromast. You can enjoy the sandwiches, salads and of course the cakes in the sun.

Baden Powelllaan 12

A very positive addition to a stay in Rotterdam An outstanding activity. We went over a number of bridges, down backstreets, and saw some famous sights as well. Although we crossed roads, there was no other mixing with traffic - it was a safe experience, and on good quality new bikes with easy gears. The guide, Ron was extrememly skilled at engaging us all, and providing cultural obervations as well. I wish I has booked the trip early in my visit for this reason. Definitely recommended

Highly recommended to get to know and see Rotterdam This was a very nice way to explore the city and visit and see most of the highlights in 2.5 hours. With a great guide, who knows the city like the back of her hand and tells fun historical facts. Good to do for all ages. Really enjoyed it.

Relaxed cycling - an ideal way to explore the city What a lovely, friendly and accommodating company. I had a fantastic tour around the highlights of Rotterdam with Jan. It was my first city bike tour and I would thoroughly recommend it. There's nothing like a tour with a local guide to get some insight into the city. I only had a morning passing through Rotterdam so thank you for making the tour happen!

Super bike tour We had an outing with the team in Rotterdam. The guide of the bike tour was our 'old' colleague Gordon. How well he is doing! Nice route with places to stop and provide us with information. He has a lot of knowledge. Still time for something to drink along the way. We enjoyed it. Thanks Gordon!

Recommended We celebrated a birthday weekend with friends in Rotterdam and had Tamara as our guide. A very enthusiastic lady who took us along in the transformation of Rotterdam. A walking encyclopedia. We started on time and had a focused lady who was checked in with her audience the entire time. This activity is highly recommended to get to know Rotterdam by bike. We'll come back again.

Great tour of Rotterdam We booked a private bike tour of Rotterdam while on a cruise stop to Rotterdam. Our guide was extremely flexible and was happy to adapt the trip according to our son's specific needs. We were shown some really interesting sites in Rotterdam and were taken to some great food stops to taste local treats such as Dutch fries and Poffertjes. I highly recommend this tour company.

Vriendelijk, interessant, relaxed, leuk... kortom wij zeggen DOEN! Erg leuk, interessante en relaxte fietstour, waarbij je mooi alle highlights te zien krijgt en het meest belangrijke te horen krijgt. Vriendelijke gids (Floor) en eigenaar (Marijn). Wij hadden onze eigen fietsen mee, maar de fietsen van het bedrijf zien er ook erg goed uit. Je kan ze ook voor de rest van de dag huren, zodat je veel van Rotterdam kunt bekijken.Wij raden dit bedrijf zeker aan!

Fietsen met leerlingen We hebben een fietstocht gedaan o.l.v. gids Jeroen. Hij wist goed aan te sluiten bij de belevingswereld van onze groep (14 middelbareschoolleerlingen) Op een luchtige doch informatieve manier heeft hij de leerlingen laten kennismaken met de stad. Onze leerlingen geven allemaal aan dat ze de fietstocht als erg leuk hebben ervaren. Top dus!
