Usually I share my weekend tips for Amsterdam, but this time I want to highlight a different great city in The Netherlands: Rotterdam! Where can you start your weekend with dangerous cocktails, fight your hangover with ‘Eggs in Hell’ and where can you satisfy a hardcore childhood craving? These are my 9 weekend tips for Rotterdam!

Café Roes / Weekend tips for Rotterdam

1. Café Roes
Special cocktails & finger-lickin’ good Asian street food. My favorites: the gyozas, the naanbread with dips, the tasty bao buns and the perfect Pornstar Martini! I loved the Lychee Lemon cocktail too. There are exhibitions on a regular basis and DJs like to come and visit… Funky & cosy hotspot!

2. Baker’s Dough
When I was little I loved eating all the cookie dough leftovers when we were baking cookies. In this shop you can buy a scoop of cookie dough in multiple different flavours and add yoghurt ice cream for example! OMG! Add a topping like ‘salted fudge’… This cookie dough bar is extremely dangerous. Enter at your own risk…

3. Biergarten
Nachos, hamburgers, specialty beers, barbecues and a Berlin vibe are what this outdoor bar is all about. A great place to start your evening! Check the website for the program.

Acaïbowls, Pumpkin Spiced Pancakes or Eggs in Hell? EVERYTHING is delicious at this stunning brunch spot. The interior is absolutely beautiful. They don’t take reservations so be prepared to wait in line a little…

Amada / Weekend tips for Rotterdam

5. Amada
A great spot for a Latte & Laptop session. The coffee is really good! All the dishes on the menu are made with organic products. The swings inside are very Instagrammable!

6. Keet Store
Lovely conceptstore with unique items for your home, books and clothing! I want to buy everything here… Tired from shopping? Try the Red Velvet Cake in the café or a healthy smoothie…

7. CHCO Café
Heaven for chocolate lovers! The chocolate fondue is a highlight, but they also serve a delicious high tea and a lot of flavours of HotChocSpoons. How about a Sparkling Champagne HotChocSpoon? What better way to get through these cold autumn days…

Noc Noc / Weekend tips 

8. Noc Noc
Not Only Coffee, No Ordinary Coffee. Espresso coffee, filter coffee or slow coffee, they have it all at this hotspot. But don’t worry if you are not that much of a coffee person, they serve special teas, tasty bites and alcohol too. Noc Noc is another great work spot!
