Rotterdam city guide

Café Floor is where I usually end up after a movie in Pathe cinema. They may not have the widest selection of beers, but it is certainly a very well balanced list, and that’s something I appreciate a lot in a café.

The arty ambiance is enhanced by the intelligent personnel, whom I always find polite, efficient and attentive. This summer I also discovered that Floor has a beergarten-like courtyard, where you can enjoy your drink or a lunchtime snack.

The best time in café Floor is of course during the Rotterdam Film Festival, when the arty-fartiness peaks. Floor is then my place of choice to chill with a cappuccino between midday screenings or to discuss the latest developments in experimental Japanese cinema with random strangers.

But come rain or sunshine, Floor is a great place to visit all year round. Even if you’re not a highbrow hipster.
