2 Best Restaurants in Rotterdam, Netherlands

Café Dudok

$$ | Centrum

Lofty ceilings, a cavernous warehouse interior, long reading tables stacked with international magazines and papers, and a mezzanine at the back looking out over the Rotte River—it's little wonder this place attracts an artsy crowd. It is perfect for a lazy afternoon treat of delicious homemade pastries, but you can come here for breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner, or even a snack after midnight, and they also offer a small selection for vegetarians.

DE IJssalon

The city's most popular ice cream parlor (be prepared to queue on hot days) serves up flavor-packed cones in both familar and unexpected varieties, from vanilla to "baklava." You'll find a second takeaway-only outlet in the Markthal.
