One of the best, if not the, restaurants in town. A bit more expensive and with very nice wines. Make sure you make your reservation on time (possibly 2 weeks in advance).

Roti restaurant. Nice view on the bridge and water. I still consider roti take away food, but you can eat there and it's nice.

Drinks & Nightlife

Belgium and other special beers. Nice atmosphere. Don't be too scared of the alcoholics at the bar. They're pretty nice, don't bite and can be considered as a part of the furniture.

Nice food, nice bars ( a.o. Kaapse Brouwers, with 20 artisan beers on tap). A little bit far from this place, but worth a visit.

Grand cafe. Very nice terrace. At the intersection of 2 main roads in the center. And that makes it nice, as far as I'm concerned. Lean back and watch Rotterdam go by.

You're probably focused on Rotterdam and this one's in Schiedam. It's a relative small museum, but sometimes with nice exhibitions. The tram can take you there in 10 minutes plus a little walking.
