Rotonde — Restaurant in Rotterdam

On the Goudsesingel in Rotterdam, Roy Lammers, Jord Coree and Birk Heijkants opened Rotonde in December 2021. Chef Jord Coree cooks vegetarian and largely plant-based food over an open wood fire in the open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. The vegetables come from nearby farmers and growers whom the chefs know personally.

The wine is Birk Heijkants' domain: the list has only natural and biodynamic wines, from independent European winemakers. Rotonde is open in the evening only — during the day you can go to Bar Bocht, its sister next door, for coffee and later a glass of natural wine. Recommended for anyone in Rotterdam who wants to eat green with a good glass of natural wine.
