At the bottom of the Hilton hotel you will find restaurant JAQ: a colourful and trendy place where you can have lunch, dinner or drinks. The menu includes soups, burgers, bowls, sandwiches and of course bar bites. And the good thing is: the menu is composed in such a way that you can order all dishes for both lunch and dinner.
Our frontrunner Thijs visited restaurant JAQ. His final verdict? "JAQ knows how to positively surprise! The nice thing about this restaurant is that there is something for every guest. For example, you can turn it into an extensive culinary evening if you go for the 3-course surprise menu. But if this isn't your thing, you can of course also stop by for a burger and continue the evening elsewhere in the centre."
A name that many heard of. Oger is the place to go for beautiful (tailored) suits. With no fewer than four locations in the Netherlands and one in Belgium, a store in Rotterdam should of course not be missed. And what better place than on the Kruiskade?

You may notice that a new piece of architecture is under construction next to the Dreamhouse on the Kruiskade: The Lobby. This beautiful building will be completed soon.
What can you expect from The Lobby? The ground floor of The Lobby will house luxury shops. The transparency of the building allows you to look inside from the street.
In addition, there is also room for restaurants in The Lobby, with the pavilion with roof garden as icing on the cake. The latter is something that the whole of Rotterdam can enjoy. Sliding glass doors have been chosen for the roof pavilion, so that there is a lot of light. The roof terrace will be set up in an accessible manner and can be visited at any time of the year.
