It has been a long time since I've last written a review on Yelp, but after having eaten at The…read moreFish Market yesterday, I felt compelled to write about my experience. We had made reservations for ten people, but our group arrived in smaller groups over a period of an hour. The Fish Market was very understanding and patient with us, and we happily enjoyed some wine and oysters during this time. When we were finally all together and had ordered, the food was quickly prepared and served. Moreover, the dishes were presented beautifully and in a grand fashion; the portions are not small, at all. I had the pleasure of enjoying the sole (zeetong), which was very delicious, simply serves with a cup of clarified butter. A perfect combination. The rest of the table enjoyed the mussels, the cold seafood platter, and a mixed grill. Everybody enjoyed their food very much, and it must be said that our group included an Australian top chef; she too was impressed by the quality of the food. One batch of mussels were unfortunately cold when they arrived to the table, but when we pointed this out, the host apologized and was happy to take it back and produce a new, fresh serving. The design and atmosphere of the restaurant is interesting; unlike other restaurants, the Fish Market doesn't care for dimly lit lights or red chairs. Rather, with the white tiles and industrial lamps, they have tried to make it look and feel like you are in the back-end shop of a fish monger. As eerie as that may sound, it isn't. Strangely enough, it makes for the perfect place to have some good quality seafood. Overall, the quality of the food was extremely well, which, in combination with the great service and atmosphere, makes The Fish Market my new favorite in town.

My wife and I stopped in here after a day of exploring Rotterdam. At first we were confused as it…read morelooked like only a raw seafood grocer and not a restaurant. But it's actually both and there's a restaurant side. The owner is very friendly and enthusiastically invited us inside. There were no English menus and the owner spoke very little English but he graciously helped us pick out some seafood for our meal. This was honestly some of the most delicious and fresh seafood I've ever eaten. My wife and I shared a large platter for only 14 Euros. So it's also a very good value. A small note-- if you're looking for drinks/alcohol, they don't sell any. But the seafood is so good that you won't miss it. Highly recommend this place.

Restaurant KAAP is a newcomer to the square but with historical roots in Rotterdam and France. Deli Restaurant Z&M is its bigger sister and certainly knows the ropes. And why France you ask?nBecause the owners took their inspiration from la Cale, a restaurant in Normandy which has declared itself the worst restaurant in the region or even in France at large. But really, La Cale is one of those perfect hide-outs. But hey, an 8 hour drive for some fish is a bit silly so we happily gorge on the menu in KAAP and pretend to have our feet in the sand. You can come here on a first date, a second or third even, why the hell not? What's not to like? Come here with colleagues, friends or your folks. It is one of those places that manages to be intimate and anonymous at the same time with an open kitchen and relaxed service. They offer a good wine list to wash away the feast and make sure your night is off to a good start, or finish.

Chill neighbourhood, friendly staff. Food is 'okay' but quite slow…read more Good for afternoon drinks in the sun, and if you are not in a hurry or hungry. Drinks probably around 10-15min to arrive even if not very busy, food probably 40-50 min except the bread basket with 2 dips (4 Euro) which comes faster. Menu rotates daily, but the dishes are not varied - all fish come with same salsa/lemon wedge, grilled and salted. Given the fact they function with a griddle and oven it's ok, but really wish there was at least few different sauces (eg buttered herb, lemon, garlic, spiced, etc.) so that people sharing at a table can have more than one taste amongst different dishes. Even though I can appreciate fresh seafood, the menu almost consists of a single dish served with different fish, meaning there is no appeal for me to come again to try other things. I feel like they could really benefit from a fryer for some salt/pepper squid, fish and chips for the relaxed pace and location for the restaurant, and to add variety to the griddle. Cocktails are not very strong, but otherwise fine to drink, nothing very special (Mojito, Long Island Tea, Gin & Tonic, etc. @ 9 Euro each) Dessert is also just 'okay', really nothing special or desirable to come again. (between 3.50-5.00 Euro) The atmosphere is well thought out with lights and blankets, that would be the main appeal of this restaurant.
