Prachtig is located at Willemsplein, right under the Erasmus Bridge. It has an unbeatable view of the river and Rotterdam’s modern skyline. It's perfect for grabbing drinks or settling in for dinner, especially in summer, when you can sit at the outdoor tables and enjoy the sun and breeze.
On a sunny day, it’s easily one of the best spots to be. You’re right in the heart of the city, but because it’s tucked next to the river, it has this laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for after-work drinks, weekend brunch, or even a casual date night. The menu blends modern European dishes with a few international twists. It has a good variety of seafood, tasty burgers and generous sharing plates.
