3. Didot34

Brunch in a beautiful building with a special story. Restaurant Didot34 can be found around the corner from Oostplein, on the ground floor of hotel The Slaak. Located in a national monument which was known as a newspaper printing company in the 1950s.

You will no longer find paper and typewriters there, but coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner on the menu. From 07:00 you are welcome, even as a non-hotel guest, for a breakfast such as various egg dishes and avocado toast.

Would you rather join a little later? During lunch, the restaurant offers rich sandwiches with bread from Rotterdam icon Jordy’s Bakery.

4. Wolly

You will find Wolly aan de Waterkant on the sunny corner of Noordplein. You are welcome here seven days a week for all-day breakfast, good coffee and tasty pastries.

Think, for example, of delicious cinnamon rolls and matcha cookies with white chocolate. I recommend their brioche buns, with toppings like crayfish, chicken and eggs with avocado. Combine it with their Brazilian lemonade, especially on hot days, this is wonderfully refreshing!

Inside they offer seating at the bar, long tables or in cosy booths. On sunny days you can soak in the rays on their inviting terrace.

A nice place to start the day early or to sit down late on a hungover Sunday. In our Instagram reel you get a look inside (and outside!).

Noordplein 1, 3035 EA Rotterdam

5. Studio Unfolded

This is such a nice place! Photographer Sophia van den Hoek, known for her Instagram account @un_fold_ed, has her own studio on the Nieuwe Binnenweg. It is a shop, coffee place, event location and creative agency. A super fun creative place to get together.

Enjoy specialty coffee and delicious dishes, such as kimchi sandwiches, labneh and delicious sandwiches. The menu is constantly changing, so it’s always a surprise.

Walk around the shop and get a good dose of inspiration! Studio Unfolded has a lovely backyard, ideal for the summer days. Here you will find plenty of sheltered spots from the sun, so you can relax and enjoy an (ice) coffee, chai latte or homemade iced tea. You can also spot this in our video!

For example, order the burrata avocado, spicy tuna melt or one of the healthy bowls, such as an acai bowl. Choose from several tasty pastries from their display case to top it off.

What you can order here? Of course a good cup of coffee, but also a delicious matcha and chai latte. For something sweet, choose something from the display case, such as cinnamon rolls and banana bread.

11. the bellhop hotel

Just because it’s a hotel doesn’t mean you can’t come and taste their delicious menu. A real asset to the Witte de Withstraat if you ask us, because here you eat according to an all day breakfast concept – something we don’t see much in this bustling Rotterdam street.

The menu includes a breakfast plate with a boiled egg, croissants, avocado toast, yogurt & homemade granola and pieces of fruit. This can be ordered until noon.

In addition, there are a lot of individual dishes that can be ordered until 5 p.m., such as pancakes with blueberries, a (soya) yogurt bowl and much more.

We love having brunch at Vlaamsch Broodhuys. For example, choose one of their freshly made Dimitri sandwiches from their extensive menu, such as the Avocado sandwich or the Bonito Tuna. You can also choose from grilled sandwiches, salads and soups. Their drinks menu is extensive: coffee, tea, soft drinks, beers, wines and much more.

Highly recommended at Vlaamsch Broodhuys is the tasting of Dimitri’s sandwiches. Here you get whole wheat sourdough bread with four types of toppings!

13. Dudok

Dudok is not to be missed when you walk along the Meent and it’s a place where you wonder if it is ever not busy. It might not be the place for a fancy vegan acai bowl, but if you’re in the mood for delicious fried eggs or a big sandwich, you’ve come to the right place.

Hungover on Sunday? We recommend the “Dudok 12-hour” – with sourdough bread, a croquette (also veggie!), soup and egg salad! Be sure to visit their other location, especially on sunny days: Dudok in the Park.
