The quays of the cozy historic Oude Haven are actually a succession of terraces with something for everyone. Cocktails, barbecue, vodka and oysters; it's hard not to find a place where you feel at home. Still, given the distance, we feel less inclined to take a seat on the busy Spaansekade and our eye goes to the spacious terrace of Het Witte Huis on the Geldersekade.
On the other side you have slightly fewer hours of sunshine, but the terrace at the bottom of the oldest skyscraper in Europe feels less like a 'tourist trap' and is therefore a lot more relaxed. In addition, there is enough space to keep your distance from other guests.
The service is good and punctual and the range is fairly standard and more than sufficient for an eatery. Moreover, you have a nice view of the historic ships in the Oude Haven against the background of the Cube houses.
Terrace: the messiest and most spacious terrace on the Oude Haven and therefore the safest
Service: sometimes a bit understaffed, but welcoming
View: beautiful view of the Willemsbrug, the Oude Haven and of course the White House
Address: Café | Dining room Het Witte Huis, Geldersekade 1C, 3011 WB Rotterdam
