Louise Petit Restaurant — Restaurant in Rotterdam

Louise Tieleman opened this restaurant on the Veerhaven in Rotterdam's chic Scheepvaartkwartier, creating a little piece of Paris on the Maas. Big red banquettes, classic paintings, a wooden bar, crockery from Lille, French chansons in the background and a baguette with real French butter: every detail is right. On the first floor the view over the busy Veerhaven is an extra gift. Next to the restaurant there's also the Bar à Vins, a wine bar with small bites where you can have a glass of wine without dining. Bistro classics without frills: escargots with herb butter, steak tartare, moules, sole meunière, côte de boeuf with béarnaise, oeufs mayo, cheese board. The wine list is mostly French (you wouldn't expect anything else), with a fine selection of Burgundy, Loire and Champagne. Listed by Gault&Millau. The Bar à Vins is open Wednesday to Friday from 16.00 and Saturday and Sunday from 15.00, ideal for a cheese board with a glass of Loire or Champagne overlooking the Veerhaven.
