Het Eethuisje van Delfshaven

Brilliant traditional Dutch restaurant, unfortunately one of the very few not just in Rotterdam, but the Netherlands, that are still surviving. Incredible food, fantastic service, and so much value for money you’ll be ashamed to pay the amount on the bill! Go there before it disappears and all you’re left with are chain restaurants!

What can I say, I looked for weeks for a genuine Dutch restaurant and thanks to my hostel host I found this one! I honestly have no idea why traditional Dutch food is not more prevalent because what I had was so freaking delicious! I ate Stammpot with a good sized and well seasoned hamburg steak on top and it was honestly the best meal I had in The Netherlands by far. Not only that but if you take a window seat then you're eating with a fabulous view of the city streets and a bit of the canal. To top it all off I had very gracious hosts who checked up on me and were very happy to give me seconds (that's right I ate another whole plate of the Stammpot!) The only dissatisfaction that I found was that I found this restaurant on the last day of my trip and I couldn't get to try any other dishes. If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely hitting this place up!

Food was great! Authentic Dutch fare (according to restaurant staff, we went with the recommendation), considering we don’t get much of that in the Netherlands in general, mostly international cuisine. Would recommend if you are dropping by Rotterdam for a day or two. Price wise not the most affordable given that the food was quite simple, the prices didn’t make that much sense.

Honestly A TRUE GEM, maybe the best authentic nutritious YUMMIEST food you can get that in Rotterdam that will actually feed your soul. Home cooking at it's finest. So tasty and place is comfortably gezellig, down to earth and chill. Host is a funny lovely sweet and hard working lady. I so recommend this, and especially if you have never been impressed by Dutch food yet!!!

We found this place by coincidence and were amazed! Owner and waitress in one person made our stay an awesome experience:) very talkative, funny 😊 food was nice and prices reasonable... we are lucky to find this place!

It's difficult to find traditional Dutch food in Rotterdam, the food scene is generally quite international. But we are so glad we've found this gem, a real Dutch restaurant where the locals go. The food is freshly homemade and absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef stew and fried cod, both are really good. The owner is so lovely and friendly too, she even translated the menu in English for us😄 We would definitely come again when we are next in Rotterdam.

Really brilliant way to experience Dutch food. The food is a little basic, which only enhances the vibe that this is your Dutch grandma's living room and you just came hungry from school. The waitress also reminded me of my grandma, she very kindly explained the menu and helped us choose. If you have only one dinner in Rotterdam, this is the place to go. I recommend sitting at the window, the view is beautiful.

It was a very welcoming environment as the same for the staff. Very friendly and helpful. The beed stew was delicious with fried potatoes and a salad! Will definitely visit this authentic Dutch cuisine restaurant again!

My husband and I dined here for dinner and had a great experience. We ended up having to search what each menu item was online because the menu was not in English and our servers English was not the best but we made it work. It was the stoofvlees with a glass of red wine for my husband and the kalfsbiefstuk champignons with a glass of rose for me. Both came with a side of fries. The food was amazing. This spot is legit and is a must visit.

I have such fond memories of stopping by here with my husband on a chilly Fall evening. Delfshaven is beautiful and has some of the oldest architecture in the Rotterdam area as it survived the bombings of WW2. It's romantic and full of old wood, fireplaces, and cozy places to grab a warm bite and a cold beer. We were greeted by the owners, who were so nice to us. It felt like we were eating at an Aunt and Uncle's house. The chef popped back into the kitchen and started cooking. We had a delicious, savory soup with sausage. Ever get happy over soup? I rarely do, but this soup had that extra something that makes you realize that there's an art to it. So, so good. I loved meeting these owners and I'm so happy we came by here on a whim. Stop in here for a something comforting, settle in and take in what it's like to be in this town, in this country. Enjoy the warmth of the fire and the hosts. Have a beer for me, I wish I was there right now.
