If we had to choose one wine bar to go to in Rotterdam, then we think this may just steal the spot. The energy at this place is infectious. Whilst being unbelievably trendy, Bar Cult has managed to keep the passion on the wine, offering some of the most gloriously tasty wines we've tried. 

Whether you're in the mood for a delicious homemade cake or a bracing cup of coffee to get you going you're sure to love Blend Artwork and Coffee. Preserving the great legacy of Studio Unfolded, art, coffee, design, and good food are all integrated together. 

Bar Schiemond emerged from its café counterpart, paying homage to its dock worker roots and fast becoming Rotterdam's life and soul. Albeit, the pre-work booze has been swapped for natural vines and a fully seasonal menu. Pumpkin is lathered with a beurre blank, raddichio complemented by a creamy tahini jus and plates of grilled fish served with a potato mousse. Though, if the menu sounds sophisticated it's in no ways fussy: the red, tarpaulin covers stretch across the terrace, the inside remains simple with beige tiles and black leather bar stools and a disco ball becomes the centerpiece. Cozy, no nonsense, affordable. But above all, jolly well exceptional.

Inspired by the seasons, Milan Gataric creates masterpieces in this Rotterdam-based restaurant. Established for more than 25 years, you know that this place is going to be good. With a possible set menu and complementing wine pairing, this restaurant has it all.
