Restaurant – In Den Rustwat
Best kept secret of Rotterdam
French Cuisine
IDRW occupies one of Rotterdam’s best preserved historic buildings; the Inn dates back to 1597 and has enjoyed an impressive 400 year culinary history. The Inn started off at the top of the Honingerdijk, but the building was moved to its current location, next to Trompenburg Tuinen & Arboretum, in 1959.
Many authentic items have been preserved; the tile flooring is original, just like the Delft blue tiles on the wall and the ‘collapsed’ thatched roof is certainly a veritable eye-catcher too.
Marcel is the Patron Chef, the kitchen is his domain. If you say Marcel, you are saying fish, shellfish and crustaceans. And sauces. He prepares everything himself. He prefers for the carefully chosen ingredients to retain their original values as much as possible, but does like to add his own flavour signature. The classic French cuisine is his base
Restaurant In Den Rustwat has been awarded the BIB Gourmand!
Awarded by Michelin for the excellent value for money IDRW offers.

Bike Rental
Easy bike rent
The OV- Fiets (bike). Discover Rotterdam by bike
Traveling from door to door
The train is a comfortable way to travel from station to station, but your final destination is often located some distance from the station. NS has thought of that as well. For example, you can rent an OV-fiets, store your own bicycle safely in an NS bicycle storage facility, take the bus, tram or metro or hop into an NS-Zonetaxi. Or if you would prefer to drive yourself, you can park your car at a Q-Park P+R or rent a Greenwheels car. As a business traveler, you can also work or hold a meeting at a Regus office near the station, so you do not have far to go for your next appointment. In short, you can choose the convenience that best suits your needs.
http://www.ns.nl/en/door-to-door
Using the OV-fiets
The OV-fiets is a quick and healthy way to reach your final destination. You can use your OV-fiets season ticket to rent up to 2 bicycles from nearly 300 locations. Locations include train stations, bus and metro stops, several town centres and P+R sites. You only have to pay € 3.85 per OV-fiets per 24 hour period. The bicycles are stored in both guarded and unguarded storage areas, or in self-service bicycle lockers or carousels. This way you always have access to a bicycle, and can continue your journey.
