Sushi, burgers and dining at a high culinary level, at Kop van Zuid you can find a wide range of restaurants. Enjoy your meal!
1. HMB Restaurant
Located in De Rotterdam you will find HMB, where they serve their signature dishes with a beautiful view overlooking the Maas and the Erasmus Bridge.
And are you already familiar with Rolph’s Deli by the same owners? This is a lovely all day breakfast place on the Kop van Zuid, where you can eat pancakes and other lunch and breakfast dishes.

2. Aqua Asia Club
Dinner with a view! Aqua Asia Club is, just like HMB restaurant, located in De Rotterdam building and therefore has a fantastic view over the Maas river.
How about a Red Dragon Roll, made with crispy shrimp and butter-tender Wagyu Rib-Eye, while you look at an illuminated Erasmus bridge? As a vegetarian you can eat your heart out here as well, as Aqua Asia Club has a wide selection of vegetarian dishes on the menu.
All in all, a super trendy place with delicious sushi.

At restaurant Tres you can taste modern Dutch cuisine in an intimate setting and enjoy a playful 18-course menu. The restaurant cooperates with local small-scale farmers, fishermen and artisans, so the menu only offers dishes from the Netherlands. You can combine the dishes with an alcoholic or non-alcoholic arrangement.
A dinner at Tres is more an experience than a casual dinner and can take up to four hours. You do not spend hours in the same spot during a visit at Tres.
You’re first welcomed as a guest in the luxurious lounge with small appetizers and an aperitif. After this you can take a seat at the bar in the basement, where you can already see the chefs cooking. The evening will be closed in a second lounge where you can enjoy their special coffee or tea with mignardises.
Address
Vijf Werelddelen 75, 3071 PS Rotterdam
7. Allure
Restaurant Allure, located in the still relatively unknown Entrepothaven on the Kop van Zuid, is a modern French-style restaurant.
Here you can enjoy the most delicious dishes with a view over the marina. For example, choose the ‘Chef’s Table’, where you can watch them prepare dinner. Choose from a five- or ten-course dinner.

Cargadoorskade 107, 3071 AW Rotterdam
