Restaurant On Cru in Rotterdam stands for good food without the fuss. We work with fresh, seasonal ingredients and serve dishes that are familiar, but always with our own twist.
On the menu, you’ll find both lunch and dinner options: from light dishes to hearty classics, with fish, meat, or vegetables taking center stage.
The atmosphere is casual and warm, a place where you can easily drop by for a quick lunch or enjoy a long, cozy evening at the table.
On Cru is located in the center of old Rotterdam at Haringvliet 92b next to the Koningsbrug. East of the Old Port. We serve dinner from Wednesday to Sunday from 18:00. We serve lunch from Thursday to Sunday from 12:00.
In the summer months we have a beautiful garden where we welcome you when the weather is nice. Our restaurant is trendy, classically decorated. We are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. For special occasions such as private dinings, business meetings, weddings and/or parties, we would like to get in touch with you by email on those days.
You’re welcome! Honest and pure food, great wines, comfortable interior, carefree service in a classic Rotterdam building. On Cru is under the inspiring leadership of Chef Kelvin de Pijper and hostess Denise van der Mijn.
Restaurant On Cru is all about experiencing, surprising, sharing and tasting. Every season, the On Cru team challenges us to work with products and ingredients that the season gives us. Chef Kelvin de Pijper creates dishes that are daring and therefore allow guests to experience a taste sensation time and time again. At On Cru we often cook classic French hand in hand with Dutch products and ingredients. In collaboration with Denise’s service brigade, flavours from the On Cru kitchen go in harmony with our great wines.
Being intimate together in the living room of Rotterdam on the Haringvliet, Restaurant On Cru is looking forward to welcoming you.
