Bertmans

Rotterdam


Asian accents are as pronounced as those from the Mediterranean in the menu at this popular neighbourhood cafe overlooking the serpentine De Rotte canal. The emphasis is on fresh and healthy cafe-style food, accompanied by cold-pressed juices, smoothies, herbal teas or coffee made with locally roasted Giraffe beans.

There's also a branch in Centrum.
