The young sommelier told us he has been studying 8 years. His pairing definitely helped elevate each dish. We did the 1/2 glass pour tasting for the 7 course meal. Definitely check out this charming restaurant. The charm is in the food - the restaurant is clean line minimalist I'm decor. The food is French base with a Japanese twist, amazing combo that your palate never expected - but will want more ! 7 course tasting with wine left us very satiated !

Exceptional, always a pleasure my second year in a row, not a better restaurant in Rotterdam.read more

It had just the right level of spiciness. Heel lekker as they say in the Netherlands. The restaurant was virtually empty!!?? Why?? Perhaps because there have been no Yelp reviews in NINE YEARS. The ambiance was perfect, warm and welcoming - loved it!!

I asked if the tuna was sustainably caught and the waitress could immediately confirm that. Quite impressive! Usually waiters have no idea. The wine we choose was great and almost all wines are sold per glass and bottle. The price quality ratio is quite hard to beat in Rotterdam!

My boyfriend and I stopped in here while we were visiting Rotterdam. The bar reminded me a place…read morewe'd see here in Brooklyn, NY so it felt comfortable and "homey" but still quite different. The bar area was a bit snug as they seemed quite busy, but when you walk through there's ample table seating. We split the pork belly and I ordered the schnitzel, forgetting that it's traditionally made with veal. It's not my meat of choice but it was good nonetheless. I thought this was a solid spot, easy to find, with great food and beer options. Had it been warmer (we were there in late October and it was quite windy) we would have opted for the outdoor patio.

The food itself was good and the beer was good as well...no complaints there. But the attitude of…read morethe waiter was solely "you're here for me, I'm not here for you." It was clear he didn't want to be bothered. Wanted to cash out and made eye contact 3 times before we flagged down another waiter to pay. Sorry but there are better places I can spend my money and feel good about it.

Well prepared and of course to small portioned! The waiters were very professional, attentive and kind. When at desert I felt like having a coffee before the ice cream melted down, they where quick to serve. Doesn't happen often these days! The only thing that bothered me a little is the draft that ran through the room.

Just ask, I did and found some very nice dishes. Requests seem to accommodated. I came into this place for dinner at the recommendation of a friend who has an office near by. We had the scallop and the tuna ap. they were both well prepared with very fresh ingredients. And the tuna ap was quite large. It could have been shared by two easily. My dining partner had the steak which he said was very good for a European steak. I had the spicy shrimp. Again both were well prepared. Two with a bottle of wine was €100. Lunch prices are lower. They claim the best hamburger in Rotterdam. I'm not sure. Being an american guy I am a skeptic. But maybe. I had the club sandwich and fries. Very good Belgian style fries with spicy garlic aioli. We did share it. Very nice preparation. I may be back to try the burger.

We recently enjoyed a lovely dinner in this beautiful place. Entering into the new bar/lounge area,…read morewe received a warm and hearty welcome. Everyone also made us feel welcome and comfortable during dinner. The interior refurbishment executed last summer has turned out marvellously. Was it already always a pleasure to be there, the ambiance created now is really fantastic. The feeling is one of luxury and intimacy combined; the ultimate feeling that you long for when going out for dinner. The dishes created by Marco Somer are of high quality and taste sensational. The special combinations consist of pure ingredients, presented in a beautiful manner. They are all small pieces of art that make De Harmonie23 eligible for a Michelin star, in our opinion. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, friendly and frank are words that come to mind when I think about the service. The passionate sommelier Zappa proposes excellent wines to accompany a dish and enjoys sharing his knowledge in a nice and spontaneous manner. When the weather is good, you can sit outside in the serene and fairy tale like garden that I dare to call the most beautiful restaurant garden in Rotterdam. And you can also marry here! We had our wedding party at this location half a year ago. Everyone at De Harmonie23 contributed to the realisation of our dream party. It was organised in a professional and thought through manner, to the full satisfaction of a very demanding bride with an extensive wish list. Everything we asked for was possible and arranged immediately by Lesley. The absolute highlight was of course the food. Our guests still talk about it!

It it also possible to choose a menu of 5, 6 or 7 dishes so you will be surprised by the taste of many different flavors. We had the menu and it was really good. Prices are a little high, but considering what you get, it is worth it.
