't Ouwe Bruggetje — Restaurant in Rotterdam

Since 1989 Fred and Monique Zywiecki have run this restaurant in picturesque Historic Delfshaven, the only part of Rotterdam that survived the wartime bombing. Fred previously worked at top restaurants such as Le Grand Duc, La Vilette and De Castellane before the couple decided to start out on their own. What they created is an authentic bistro with a wall full of wine bottles, wooden tables and no bells and whistles, and a passion for wine so great that it led to their own wine import business and an adjoining wine shop. More than 35 years later, nothing has changed in their core values: quality, hospitality and wine in a relaxed atmosphere. Dine on a beautiful terrace by the water of Delfshaven, in summer one of the most beautiful terraces in Rotterdam. Afterwards, step into Wijnkoperij Domaine Z next door: all the wines you tasted with dinner are for sale here. Almost all the wines poured in the restaurant come from Fred and Monique's own imports, directly from winegrowers in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, and are exclusively available in the Netherlands. Wine tastings for groups are possible.
