In Den Rustwat

Delicious food and excellent service in a beautiful location right next to the Trompenburg Arboretum. Perfect place to spoil yourself a little!

The staff are fantastic and the food is exceptional. Very helpful when booking a table and after informing them of a food allergy in advance, the evening's menu was tweaked without fuss, wines paired to fit different courses and it was a delight to dine without concern. A charming old building was the icing on the cake. Make time to visit if you're in Rotterdam.

Rotterdam's finest restaurant. What could one say about Marcel and IDRW, after 30 years as his customer, other than wishing Maaske was still around to watch with pride all this. (photo: members of MEL's Advisory Board - 2007)

Nice little restaurant hidden in kralingen. Great food, not too expensive and professional staff. Very pleasant atmosphere and worth visiting again

Excellent food, with great wine paring. The staff is very friendly and professional. I would have appreciated it if they would have offerd my grandfather a seat while he was waiting, (besides the fact that he was an hour early). I don't think making an 84 year old wait standing in the hot sun on the parkinglot is very decent.

A Bib-Gourmand lunch on a weekday. Very friendly welcome, seated inside. The food was really nice, though the staff appeared a bit perplexed by a vegetarian. The service clearly paid attention to other tables than to us. A three course lunch took 2hrs 40 min - quite a bit even by Michelin standards. We would sit for 20-30 min at an empty table with plates cleaned. We were served one slice of bread per person - and not replenished. Again, the food is very good - the smoked potato mousse demonstrated that the chef can clearly do miracles with ordinary staples. But the service is still to match.

Amazing experience and truly exceeding my expectation! Nice ambiance, and service. Food is classic and delicious! We’ve been to a lot of Michelin star restaurant and i think this restaurant has even better quality!

We visited In Den Rust Wat again this weekend. The last time we were here it was Friday the 13th of March 2020. Corona was just starting and we could hear other guests whispering about it. My wife asked me if we should even go, of course I said 😅 and luckily we went because two days later our “intelligent” Lockdown started. This time we still were in partial lockdown (QR code and closing time 22h). IDRW has a classical and conservative image, but we were seated in the ‘new’ more modern looking new part of the restaurant. At first I wanted the traditional side of the restaurant but at the end I was very glad to see their ‘other’ more modern side. Ambiance 7/10 but because of the cosy fireplace and the art on the table 8/10. We were greeted by the Chef and I had several talks with the Chef, during and at the end of the dinner. To summarize the evening: IDRW has improved drastically!! It was very good before in 2020, but if you would have told me this restaurant had ⭐️ or ⭐️⭐️ Michelin stars: I would have totally believed it!! Its their goal now to get a star the Chef told me. And I told him we experienced that they really went, not one, but two steps up the ladder!! Service was great, not stiff at all. They even accompanied the four of us with two people with umbrellas all the way to the car park 😳 And it was raining and storming so the guys umbrella gave up and flapped the other way 😂 Poor guy but 10/10 for service. The dishes and wine were amazing, I was really surprised. The pictures and menu speak for itself.. Some dishes at the beginning, the wine was on the safe side (nice to drink without the dish). But as the evening proceeded the wines became less winebar and more cuisine (really jumped out when paired with the dish)!! Cuisine 9/10 We had a fantastic evening with good company (critical foodies!)… I will not be surprised at all if this restaurant earns their Michelin star this year. They totally deserve it!!! ❤️

This "hidden gem" near Erasmus University and Brainpark is a great value, because it is near Michelin star quality at a fairly reasonable price. The dining room is small, but pleasant, and the service is friendly.

The food was good and they charged 6 euros for hot water which is ridiculous. Won't go again.

Enjoyed an amazing business meal here. The food was excellent and the staff didn't interrupt the meeting at all.
