What TO EXPECT
Four or five courses, and the kitchen decides which. A surprise menu, though we prefer to call it a chef’s menu. The menu changes with the seasons, with dishes inspired by cuisines from all over the world. Our signature dish as a constant, Yuzu | Osietra Caviar | Chamomile, which you can order separately for € 18. Start with oysters if you like and finish with cheese or coffee with friandises.
Our wine list features conventional wines alongside natural wines, put together by our sommelier. We’d love to hear what you enjoy, then we’ll pick something from the list together. We don’t have a fixed wine pairing, but plenty of wines by the glass if you prefer.
We take dietary requirements and allergies into account if you let us know when booking, as adjusting on the spot isn’t always possible. We’re happy to cook vegetarian, but not vegan.
You’ll find us for lunch in the heart of Rotterdam, in the southern wing of the iconic Industriegebouw.
