What could be more fun than enjoying a delicious meal and drink with your friends in Rotterdam Centre? Tasty snacks, a refreshing beverage and lots of laughter. And for an extra good atmosphere, you naturally opt for a shared dining concept.

Shared dining is simple. You all choose a few dishes so that everyone at the table can taste something from the menu. Below are a few great shared dining restaurants where you can enjoy a good night with your friends.

Boca's

Boca's is one of the most ideal places to grab some food with your friends. Because here you order delicious platters to share as well as delicious wines. Fill the entire table with meat, fish, cheese or vegetarian dishes. All in Mediterranean and Spanish style.

At Boca's it is always pleasantly busy and the staff will, with a tireless smile, provide you and your friends with a great evening. You can also enjoy a late dinner at Boca's. In the summer it's a great place to enjoy the evening on their terrace.

Ayla

The perfect icebreaker, the perfect connector: shared dining. At Ayla you can enjoy tasty dishes that you share with each other, with flavours from different places of the world. And all of that in a beautiful restaurant with a great vibe.

While you're there, try one of their signature cocktails, which are crafted to complement the dishes on the menu.

L'Ouest

At L'Ouest you can enjoy delicious wines and yes, shared dining dishes. L'Ouest is located on the edge of the city centre. The terrace of the restaurant however, on the corner of Van Oldenbarneveltstraat and Mauritsstraat, overlooks the beautiful Old West.

L'Ouest's menu is filled with dishes from all over the world, with a big nod to French cuisine. For example, you can eat a Spanish sea bass ceviche, Japanese watermelon tataki and a delicious ratatouille. L'Ouest is a great option for vegetarians, as the shared dining menu consists of about eighty percent vegetarian and vegan dishes.

In addition to a restaurant, L'Ouest is also an excellent wine bar. You may know their little sister, the wine shop Le Nord in the Proviniersbuurt. If the situation arises, I recommend sitting on the terrace with a delicious glass of wine in your hand. The sun always shines here on a beautiful day.

Gastrobar Hartig

Hospitality and a good time are central to restaurant Hartig. At the Hartmansstraat you can enjoy delicious shared dining dishes from all over the world, a variety of tasty wines and a homely atmosphere. The specialty beers are also really worth trying for enthusiasts.

Try several of their delicious meat, fish or vegetarian dishes per person, such as the beef ribeye carpaccio, scallops or burrata. On Wednesdays you can also enjoy fresh oysters.

Reservations are not required, but to avoid disappointment it is wise to check whether there is room for you and your friends.
