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.
