Food and beverage at the Wilhelminapier

The Wilhelminapier has already made a name for itself as a home base for culinary delights. Feast your eyes on traditional Dutch seafood, or decide instead to go for Asian, Italian or South American cuisine. Book a quiet little table for two for tonight, and gather a few friends together tomorrow for tapas and wine in one of the lovely riverside terrace bars. And after dinner, take a stroll along the quayside, enjoying the evening sun and the skyline of Rotterdam.

Catering in Rotterdam

The famous Café Restaurant Rotterdam and celebrity chef Herman den Blijker’s seafood restaurant Las Palmas are obvious choices if you want to please the palate in an elegant setting, but the Wilhelminapier is continually adding new venues to its range of options, such as restaurants, coffee bars and diners. Dozens of establishments all combine to offer epicures a wide variety of gastronomic pleasures in Rotterdam. And in summertime, the many terraces by the water are a delightful place to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Of course, the biggest attraction on the Wilhelminapier will always be Hotel New York. This national monument that used to be the place where emigrants were registered, now serves as a hotel and restaurant of international stature that readily conjures up associations with global travel. Hotel New York is the place to go for lunch, high tea or dinner. Try the oysters, for instance, or be surprised by the wide range of cuisines in the basement of Montevideo.
