Rank 1. NY Basement
Modern French
The basement of Hotel New York turns out to be one of the more atmospheric dining rooms in Rotterdam, fitted out like a jazz-age Manhattan club and anchored by an eleven-meter bar that earns its keep. It's a modern cuisine restaurant with French leanings, but the kitchen moves comfortably between beurre blanc and yuzu without making a fuss about it. The oyster bar pulls in its own crowd. Dress like you mean it.

Rank 2. Botanero
Mexican Cocktail Bar
Shelves lined with tequila and mezcal set the tone at Botanero, a Mexican-leaning cantina bar in central Rotterdam. The cocktail list leans on classics, and Dutch spirits sneak in alongside the Latin American lineup. Snacks pull from South American traditions with a Dutch edge, and there are tacos if you need something to anchor the mezcal. Bright, casual, and easy to drop into at almost any hour.
