Best Bitterballen rated. Sauce was wasabi so take note. Even had the chance to try herring fish which was good. Good ambience for drinks and chats...

Rated one of the best bitterballen. Not bad but note that the sauce is wasabi . Nice cozy place facing the sea. Even have herrings for food tasting...

The best meatballs in town ! Pleasant atmosphere with great view and very good service ! Afterwards, take a stroll by the river towards Erasmus bridge - lovely!

This place can be fun for tourists as it is has a very Dutch decor and waiters . Prices are good for the portions you get. I got the meatballs with the mushrooms . The dish was ok, not spectacular

Mooie locatie en gezellig terras . Bediening vriendelijk en snel. De ballen zijn er met verschillende toevoegingen te krijgen. Brood , patat of kompleet met paprika en ui. Deze ballen geef ik een 8.

Rotterdamse hotspot. Populaire hangplek voor Bentley-rijders, Joke Bruys-types, studenten, havenritselaars en alles wat er tussen zit. Huisfavoriet: de blonde serveerster!
