There are plenty of great restaurants in Delfshaven. It’s a beautiful historic area in Rotterdam where you can find a wide range of international restaurants.
From Libanese to Italian food, there is something for everyone. Below I share my favourite places to eat in Delfshaven!
1. Soif
At Soif in Delfshaven you sit right at the water. Especially in the summer it’s nice to sit on their terrace.
It’s a cafe where they serve delicious soups, salads, cheese fondue, risotto and much more. They also have delicious desserts such as the cheesecake, apple pie and nut cake from Koekela.
The prices for the main courses start from €15.50 to €21.50. Really not expensive for what you get!

3. Bij Loes Delfshaven
Bij Loes is a restaurant in the middle of beautiful Historic Delfshaven. You can go here for lunch and dinner. Every month they put together a new menu, focusing on the Mediterranean cuisine.
They share their changing menu on their Facebook page, which currently includes, for example, Mexican nachos from the oven and a Spanish tapas platter for two. Yum!
Looking for a location for a private party? Bij Loes can also be rented to organize a workshop, a private dinner or a barbecue in their garden.
In addition, Bij Loes is a beautiful, intimate place to get married and is officially registered with the Municipality of Rotterdam as a wedding location!

4. Viskantine aan de Cool
The Viskantine is the ideal hotspot for fish lovers! From June to September you can visit this spot and relax in a lounge chair or beanbag and watch the passing boats. Feet in the sand and the setting sun on your face, that’s the good life.
The menu features all kinds of delicious fresh seafood, such as sea bream, fresh salmon from the Mibrasa oven, or a selection of shellfish and crustaceans.

6. Le Souq Delfshaven
At the Lebanese restaurant Le Souq in Delfshaven you can enjoy fresh, tasty dishes from the Middle East.
Be sure to order a selection of delicious mezzes. These are small oriental dishes, kind of like starters, that are ideal for sharing.
For example, choose from various cold mezzes such as tabouleh (Lebanese salad with parsley, tomato and wheat grains) or Baba Ghannoudj (grilled eggplant dip with tahina, garlic and lemon). For the warm mezze you can choose from various dishes as well, such as falafel or batata harra (spicy potato cubes with coriander, garlic and lemon). Super tasty!

Restaurant Frits is a small Table d’hôtes restaurant. This means that there is no à la carte menu, but that a complete dinner is prepared for you.
A five-course menu is put together every week, with a lot of attention to season and origin. Enjoy the special and beautifully presented dishes and be sure to pair it with delicious wine.

Because of its cozy interior (many plants, two cosy armchairs and a beautiful rug), FOK has a homely atmosphere. This makes it a really a wine bar where you and your friends can chat for hours. In the summer you can drink your wine outside on their terrace!
