Locals love this foodie haven found in an old warehouse in Rotterdam’s Katendrecht waterfront.
Located on the Katendrecht waterfront, this rustic foodie spot is the lesser known indoor market in Rotterdam, with the giant Markthal being most famous. If you are looking for fresh food, look no further - this place has everything!
There are cheese makers, a bakery, grocery store butchers and fishmongers. You’ll also find a dedicated soda pop shop, a brewery making experimental craft beers and a shop selling pure, natural European wines. All local businesses and produce, which is always a bonus!
Inside the former warehouse you’ll also find a takeaway deli with loads of tasty options. The menu changes with the seasons and is mostly made with the products sold by the market’s local entrepreneurs. So, there’ll always be something new to try. There’s also different food stands, think gourmet burgers and tacos, for you to sample as well.
The food factory is a hotspot for Rotterdam’s locals. Sit outside on the appropriately rustic terrace and soak up the industrial-chic vibes as you tuck into your tasty delicacy of choice. It’s right alongside the River Maas, perfect for enjoying the city views or taking a break before you head back inside for round 2!

This is a great spot to stop by for evening drinks and dinner. Lots of options to choose from and you can sit outside by the water. Highly recommend it! We rented bikes and biked over as it is a bit further out.
