Lot & Daan Rotterdam

Your healthy living room

Silvia from Rotterdam

About me Carpe Diem and getting all I can out of this lifetime is my goal. Travel, see, experience, listen, taste and drink it all! My suitcase is always packed ready to go, my agenda flexible for adventures and my favourite answer to most "shall we" questions is “why not"? My great loves include travel, food, wine, gin, nature, boxing, fitness, shoes, music theatre, cooking, baking, museums...
""Lot & Daan" near Rotterdam's Markthal has an instantly relaxing vibe -- I love their all-day breakfast pancakes; an indulgent but not unhealthy treat..."

You will find Lot & Daan located at the Geldeseplein, near Rotterdam's Markthal (just behind the Citizen M hotel). You are welcomed by a cute little terrace, weather allowing. Stepping in, there is an instantly relaxing vibe: the interior is light, your eyes are drawn to the amazing street art-inspired mural, there are cosy couches to settle into, sit high or low -- you’ll be comfortable, I assure you. It is a great place to meet up with friends, have a meeting or just treat yourself. The staff greets you with a big smile and makes you feel right at home.

The food, ah the food... Lot & Daan is conscious of the healthy lifestyle most of us aspire to and have a lot of vegetarian and vegan dishes. One of my favourites is the all-day breakfast pancakes served with a red fruit and berry compote, freshly sliced fruit and grated coconut. The best part is the shaving of white chocolate and a few chocolate mini buttons sprinkled around -- not enough to make it unhealthy, but just enough to make it an indulgent treat. The pumpkin bread is really delicious and clearly home-baked, the sweet potato spread on toast with feta, parsley and walnuts is the perfect mix between sweet and savoury and the tosti Mexico? I will admit to the eyebrow raise: grilled cheese with nachos, really? Do it, don’t question Lot & Daan, they know what they are doing.
