Restaurant Renilde

We had the most wonderful dinner on the Terrance enjoying the summer evening weather. We enjoyed the 4 course set menu (two of us swapped out the dessert for the cheeses). My favourite dish was the white asparagus “spaghetti” but every dish had amazing flavours and we certainly didn’t go hungry. They have matched wines by the full and half glass. I had the half glass option. The wines were interesting and well matched to the meals although I would rush out to buy any of them.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations! From the attentive and great service to the original dishes, but also how well they accommodated my allergies (lactose intolerance). We definitely will come back!

We dined at Renilde, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. We opted for the 6-course menu, but the portion sizes were so enormous that we felt bloated by the third course. The menu was heavily plant-based, with just one chicken dish and one seafood dish, making the price feel unjustified. To make matters worse, nearly every dish included some sort of foam—clearly, they were overly excited about a new foam machine. By the end, we were completely tired of it. To add to the frustration, they served us the main dish before the starter. They only realized the mistake after we had already finished our main course. Since it was a surprise menu, we hadn’t noticed until they brought out the missed starter dishes. As an apology, they served us three glasses of an experimental red wine, even though we were in the middle of enjoying a bottle of dry white wine. The red wine clashed with the moment and ruined the vibe even further. Overall, it was a very poor experience, from the disorganized service to the uninspired and excessive food choices. Definitely not a place we’d recommend or revisit.

I stopped by 25 minutes before closing time, just to have a quick espresso. The waiter refused, saying they were closing in 15 minutes. I politely explained I’d drink it quickly and leave right away, but he reacted quite nervously. Very disappointing and unwelcoming attitude. A shame, as I had heard good things about this place. Hospitality should last until the door closes.* --

Great dining experience at Renilde. Ordered the 5-course menu and was pleasantly surprised by every single dish. Flawless presentation and exceptional service by (very stylish) Robin. Fantastic atmosphere, and we were lucky to catch a beautiful sunset from the terrace. A must!

The restaurant itself is very spacious, but still cozy feeling. We ordered the Menu Renilde. Even though we asked to only have seafood and vegetarian dishes, the food was excellent. All the flavours and textures went very well together and the wine pairing was perfect. The food is as local as possible and the wines were natural and fresh. The staff was so nice and you could tell they were comfortable and enjoying themselves; there was no sense that they were stressed or under pressure. All in all, it was a very relaxed atmosphere with simply excellent food and wine. We've already recommended it to our friends.

Quite the dining experience on top of Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. The Renilde crew provides excellent knowledgeable service. Interesting and tasty courses. We had a great dining experience outside on the terraces with the skyline of Rotterdam.

Apart from the fact that the Depot isn’t just a fantastic place and the idea of using a museum storage facility as an exhibition space is truly brilliant (Berlin? What’s going on? When will you offer something like this?), the attached or rather rooftop restaurant “On the Top” is absolutely top-notch. Great atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, excellent service, and some easy yet delicious comfort food… Superb!
