De Tuin

The service is too slow. The prices are too high.
Arrogant people.
The view is nice.
Its not a must to come here.

We love coming here And sitting in the serre in winter being warmed by the sun through the glass and sitting almost on the water. When it’s warmer their terrace tables and benches right on the water are second to none. I think this is one of the most relaxed places in Rotterdam you could find.
The pictures on the wall in the serre should be removed as they are very ugly. The boat rental place next door should be demolished as it’s an eye sore and simply dangerous to walk around their pier.

Descubrir este impresionante local no tiene precio!, disfrutar de una cerveza en la misma orilla del lago, al atardecer, con excelente música de fondo. Poder degustar cualquiera de sus ensaladas, tostis o el delicioso Kipsaté! Hacen que su relación calidad precio sea excelente. Un sitio especial sin duda!

We had a terrific lunch at De Tuin en route to a visit to Erasmus University. They seated our large group of about 25 in the back of the restaurant in what looked like a big sunroom. There were wonderful floor to ceiling windows that enveloped about two thirds of the room giving us a gorgeous view of the lake in the back. The atmosphere was just brilliant. As for the food and service, both were equally superb. One of my classmates and I shared a goat cheese salad, which came with onions, tomatoes, walnuts, pine nuts, bacon, honey, and walnut dressing. We got it without the bacon. It was very tasty and the honey with walnut dressing mix was a total hit. I also had a crispy focaccia sandwich with tomato, mozzarella and pesto oil. It was a little different being an open sandwich, so I had to eat it with a fork and a knife, but other than the «properness» which was a little strange for me, I absolutely loved the taste. There was a lot of freshness and well seasoning of ingredients, so finishing the meal despite its large size, was not a problem. If you’re in Rotterdam, this is a gem of a restaurant to visit!
