Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Rotterdam worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Rotterdam and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Rotterdam?

Rotterdam is a vibrant city with a diverse and exciting food scene. Visitors and locals enjoy fresh seafood, including herring, mussels, and fish from the nearby North Sea. The city also offers hearty Dutch classics like stamppot alongside international flavors reflecting its multicultural population. Rotterdam is known for its modern cafés, trendy restaurants, and bustling food markets, where you can find artisan cheeses, fresh local produce, and delicious pastries. From traditional Dutch treats to innovative culinary creations, Rotterdam offers something for every palate.

Are tourists welcome in Rotterdam?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Rotterdam tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Rotterdam.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Rotterdam experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?
