My airbnb host told me that I couldn't leave Rotterdam without coming to Restaurant Bazar to have…read morethis "True Rotterdam" experience. Fresh of the train, I started walking and just happened to sit down at this restaurant for lunch. I would LOVE to come back for dinner after this great lunch experience. Restaurant Bazar (attached to a Hotel under the same name), was truly a great experience. The menu is comprised of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. While I sat outside for lunch, I peeked in the building to admire the lighting (which truly should be viewed at night when it seems like an oasis in the street).
I ordered the Dürüm (grilled minced beef and lamb kebab with piyaz, rolled in lawash and a yoghurt sauce with moesir). The menu was super competitively priced and was truly delicious. I went for lunch when it was less busy, but with the beautiful lighting at night, I would recommend coming here for dinner. Regardless, this was definitely a great stop on my trip to Rotterdam. Definitely make sure to put this on your list.
