It’s almost Valentine’s Day! This year is a bit different and we can’t go to any of the romantic restaurants. Of course Rotterdam entrepreneurs came up with all kinds of Valentine’s Day ideas.
Think of Valentine’s Day breakfasts, shared boxes and delicious multi-course menus that you can enjoy at home! So you still have a cozy Valentine’s Day with your lover or bestie.
Be quick to order, before you know it it’s already February 14th!
1. Souffle Café Valentine’s day special
At the unique hotspot Soufflé Café on Mariniersweg they serve extremely popular Japanese Soufflé pancakes.
They have released a Valentine’s Day special: soufflé topped with strawberry coconut cream, a macaron and pocky sticks, strawberries, blueberries and coconut flakes. And on top of that there are also sugar hearts on it, so really something for the sweet-toothed among us!
The Valentine’s Special costs €10,- and can be ordered throughout February. A great dish to surprise your loved one or to indulge in yourself!

The high tea box can be ordered for two people or more and costs €25,- per person. Reserve it before 13 or 14 February and pick it up from 10.30 am at The Tea Lab.
4. Order the delicious Netherlands Bagels
A romantic city trip to New York is not an option this year, but you can order real New York bagels in Rotterdam!
Netherlands Bagels is an online bagel shop founded by a native New Yorker whose grandfather was a baker of traditional Galician bread in New York City. The bakers of Netherlands Bagels work hard to recreate the taste and texture of the real thing.
Order a bagel brunch box especially for Valentine’s Day for a romantic brunch at home!
The bagels are available for takeout and delivery (keep in mind that you have to order them on time). Pick up is possible at their kitchen, the address is Industrieweg 44.
5. Backyard goes Sakura garden for Valentine
Do you miss a night of dining at a restaurant? Then the Backyard goes Sakura garden for Valentine four-course menu is for you.
As a starter you enjoy a Tom kha kai soup with cherry tomatoes, bamboo and mushrooms, in between a delicious curry samosas with veggies and as a main course three different types of sushi rolls!
To top it all off, there is also a delicious dessert: the homemade pomegranate chocolate no cheesecake with raspberry coulis.
The menu costs €35,- per person and is completely plantbased. It is possible to order the menu until February 12. You can pick it up on February 14 between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM at Backyard.
