BAM! The TOP 12 best and safest terraces in Rotterdam

Look, BAM! This is what you were waiting for. The TOP 12 terraces in Rotterdam. We visited them on more than 200 terraces in and around the center of Rotterdam. Not only did we look at price/quality, but also whether it is safe to covid, whether you can sit in the sun and whether the […]

Damn

In a wonderful freestanding building that looks like it shouldn't be freestanding is the cozy journalist cafe Verhip. The menu is classic and complete, with the highlights being the satay and the bouncer. The terrace of Verhip on the south and west is spacious. In addition, the freestanding cafeteria can use the terrace flexibly, […]

Aloha

From A La Plancha you can already see it behind the Willemsbrug: the old tropical swimming paradise Tropicana. The wonderful building is now a breeding ground for small businesses that work on the circular economy, sustainability and alternative use of materials under the collective name BlueCity. Perhaps one of the best views of the city from the terrace you will find […]

A La Plancha

While we're on the subject of seafood restaurants – do you know where else you can sit on the water? A La Plancha on the North Island. The terrace is located on the abutment of the old Willemsbrug and therefore crosses straight into the Nieuwe Maas. The restaurant once started as a pop-up restaurant to bring more visitors to the […]

The quay restaurant is a kind of annex of the restaurant De Machinist further away (they also have a nice terrace, by the way) but with a focus on – you guessed it […]

Goblet

The Nieuwemarkt is such a strange little square in between shopping blocks that feels like a piece of a city within another city. It is a world in itself, near the Binnenrotte, with all kinds of nice little shops and eateries. An editor's favorite is Boguette's delicious Vietnamese baguettes. The Nieuwemarkt is also the place with one […]

The White House

The quays of the pleasant historic Oude Haven are actually a series of terraces with something for everyone. Cocktails, barbecue, vodka and oysters; it's hard not to find a place where you feel at home. Yet in view of the distance, we feel less inclined to take a seat at the […]

Baudouin

If you walk from the Oude Binnenweg towards the Nieuwe Binnenweg, you will always pass a bunch of terraces at the beginning. These terraces belong to Stalles, Bar3 and Rotown. They are friendly, everyone seems to meet each other here 'by chance' and the offer is also excellent (service a little less). The big disadvantage is that […]

Cafe Sijf

Art Nouveau café Sijf on the Oude Binnenweg is probably the most beautiful café in Rotterdam. Anyway, we are not talking about the inside, but about the terraces. And Sijf's terrace is always pleasant. The chairs are slightly more comfortable than the bar stools, and sometimes it is a bit crowded, but the corner terrace [...]
