Finding the right restaurants in your own city, let alone the horror you have to go through while looking for a reasonable restaurant in a new city. Having said that, if you are visiting Rotterdam anytime soon, we are talking about Vandal Rotterdam, which is a well-known restaurant that deserves your attention.
There is no denying saying that Rotterdam is a great vacation spot, especially if you want the best of both worlds and like to be in Europe. That’s because this city is known as the biggest port in Europe and there are some amazing restaurants but there is no comparison when it comes down to Vandal. So, with this article, we are sharing everything you need to know about this restaurant.
The Brief
Vandal is an apt place for everyone who wants to have an enjoyable experience over food with their friends and family. In fact, it’s the perfect place for people who are passionate about Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine – it’s basically a fusion kitchen, so make sure your taste buds are ready to enjoy some diverse flavors.
Along with the food, there are some exceptionally beautiful cocktails available as well as wines, so you can hand-select them to compliment your food (we really think you should order the cocktails because they taste like heaven with the food). What many people don’t know is that this restaurant is fond of street art that we usually see in New York.
However, rather than letting the art get dirty and neglected on the walls, the restaurant street is used as an exhibition space, where the artists are allowed to paint and showcase their art.
The Interior
Unlike other luxury and posh restaurants, Vandal has a very different interior and a vibe going on. For instance, there are skulls and the décor is very vibrant, which surely provides a breath of fresh air from the mute and neutral-colored restaurants. In fact, there are red sofas and some of them have printed cloth all over, promising the most bright experience you will ever have at the restaurant. All in all, it’s a gothic, vibrant, and forestry vibe going on.
Menu
We have already mentioned that the restaurant is focused on Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the menu does justice to this claim. For instance, the starters include buratta, guacamole, mor oysters, and oyster platter tasting. In addition, if you are a fan of Japanese cuisines, the grill menu has buta, unagi, wagyu AS, tori, and ebi served on the skewers.
On top of everything, they have the most crunchy yet juiciest tacos out there while the meat includes steak tartar, pata negra, carpaccio, and crispy chicken bites. In addition, there is salmon, gnocchi, and black tiger available on the fish menu. As far as the desserts are concerned, there is an assortment van chocolate, crème Brulee, and vanilla and white chocolate drip cake.
The bottom line is that there is something for everyone, be it in desserts or drinks. Also, all the premium fish meals are available, so you can treat yourself as you like!
