Sticky Bar Rotterdam

Best sticky rice in Rotterdam

Blanca from Rotterdam

I am a university student in Erasmus University of Rotterdam, where I study Arts and Cultures Studies. I'm originally from Madrid, Spain but I was born and raised in New York City, so I would say I've always felt connected to vibrant, multicultural cities.

"Sticky bar is the place where I fell in love with mango sticky rice. It's a small, family-run spot, with a local community feel."

Sticky bar is the place where I fell in love with mango sticky rice. It's known for this dish, which has rice, coconut milk, topped with mango, sesame seeds, and coconut flakes, an iconic Thai plate. They also serve Surinamese satés with peanut sauce, alongside options like saotosoep, sticky baguettes, and more. It’s become one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something a bit different.

Stickybar isn’t a big restaurant with a long wine list or fancy seating. It’s a small, local spot, mostly takeaway, but it never feels transactional. You’re often greeted by a member of the Taus family themselves, and there's always time for a little chat. That community feel is part of what keeps me coming back.

I love uncovering the lesser-known sides of the cities I visit. I'm especially interested in understanding the vibe of a place through its local people, food, music, and ...
