"The location of this café offers a front-row seat to the vibrant tapestry of Rotterdam's streetscape. It's one of places where the city's pulse is real..."

There's a spot in Rotterdam that has truly captured my heart: a charming South-French café tucked away on Tiendplein. By day, it's a delightful haven for coffee lovers, while those with a more Burgundian spirit can enjoy a glass of wine with their lunch. From morning till evening, the café serves an array of delicious French dishes, whether you opt for a classic Croque Monsieur, a perfectly prepared steak tartare, Moules Frites, or the ever-changing Plat du Jour, you simply can't go wrong.

One of the things I love most about this place is its interior. It doesn’t feel like a staged imitation; stepping inside is like being transported to a café in Marseille. Then there’s the setting, just outside lies the West-Kruiskade, one of Rotterdam’s most dynamic streets. It’s a spectacle in itself, from striking purple cars to people casually strolling by with parrots on their shoulders, the street offers endless entertainment. Boredom isn’t an option here; with so much to see, sip, and savor, this café is an experience in itself.

Additionally, I love to cook, get fresh ingredients on the market, go out for drinks or coffee, or discover new flavours in restaurants. To me, Rotterdam is one of the true cities of the Netherlands. It's a vibr...
