De Moerbei

Farm to table, Modern French · ★ Michelin

€€€

Chef Michael Corpel and sommelier Frank de Haas are writing a new chapter in the illustrious story of De Moerbei. In 1996, this old farmhouse was transformed into a stylish restaurant exuding elegance. From its early days to the present day, the ambition of this place has remained unchanged: to delight guests with top-quality produce, be it wine or North Sea sole. Chef Corpel takes inspiration from techniques and ingredients from all over the world, while resolutely forging his own culinary path.

Café de Gaper

International, Modern French · Bib

€€

Café de Gaper is delightfully laid back. A glance at details such as the exposed beam ceiling and the elegant apothecary cabinet reveals the building's rich history. The menu, divided into bites / raw / cold / hot / cheese / sweet, offers excellent value for money. The chef likes to give classic recipes a twist with fiery Asian seasonings. Think brioche with a salmon farce fine enhanced with chipotle, or briefly fried mushrooms and halibut with a crispy crust paired with a beurre blanc and dashi emulsion for a touch of umami. And to win you over completely, there is a nicely curated wine list.

The drive alongside the canals affords a foretaste of what awaits at this refurbished restaurant: the views over the water are simply sublime. Inside the tastefully appointed country house, diners are warmly received by a highly attentive and professional team. The chef unites classic cooking methods and generosity with modern textural elements to create dishes that are balanced and wide-ranging. Take, for example, his refined starter of salmon mousse, herb vinaigrette, ripe olives and pickled cucumber. Be sure to enquire about overnight stays and boat trips (with a picnic basket) on the Nieuw

Café Visscher

€€

You could definitely call Arie Visscher's "café" a luxury brasserie. An abundance of red velvet, marble and copper give the place a remarkably warm and welcoming feel. Open all day from 11am, it's a great option for lunch, dinner or a quick bite at the bar. Chef Visschers specialises in French classics such as steak tartare elevated with smoked eel, or sea bass with a delightfully buttery potato mousseline and artichoke. He also showcases his creativity with a modern dish based on hispi cabbage. This Rotterdam native sticks to a single set menu, crafting beautifully balanced no-nonsense cuisin

€€€

With views over the surrounding marina, tables on the terrace at Plantage 87 are coveted, but the interior is just as inviting. Stephan Möllers's biggest source of inspiration lies a little further away, in his generously sized vegetable garden. He likes to express his creativity by preparing vegetables so that they yield the right acidity or spiciness to bring out the best of the main ingredient – letting it speak for itself. Elegant sauces lend each beautifully plated dish its own character. One example is a beurre blanc enhanced with tosa dashi as a delicate accompaniment to sea bass seared

Wood, metal and leather lend this restaurant an intimate feel; a striking glass-fronted wine cabinet adds the perfect final flourish. In fine weather, a table on the terrace is the best choice – the view of the lock and windmill is magnificent. Chef Erik Tas delights diners with bright, harmonious pairings in which sauces and broths are delicately balanced. Take his multi-layered signature dish featuring pork belly, langoustine and foie royal, accompanied by herb oil and a peppery jus. Service is friendly and professional, with the chef himself often welcoming diners warmly. Bij Erik is impecc
