Hotel New York - Rotterdam

Today it was time to visit a friend that I haven't seen for too long a time. We went to see some things for the kitchen that I'm looking for in a long time, also wanted the CD of Karin Bloemen, bought about 6 CD's ... and indeed not the one from Karin Bloemen. Sold out !!! Oké need to go to the next shop.

But too many people, so we went pretty quick to have some food for Lundin (lunch / diner) we headed for Hotel New York in Rotterdam.

Always busy this place, very simple but lovely building that's a beauty only looking at it. A terrific location (plenty or parking space) and a place were you can eat from dusk (07) till dawn (24), no closing hours. And full it was again, a lot of people making the place the perfect place to talk and catch up.

We started of with Oysters, and yes they are here again, the Oysters (0000) from Zeeland, small and flat but nice from taste. A good starter. 6 is only a few for two people so we ordered some Calamaris as well. They were also excellent. A lot of places can take this as an example, not the fat big 8 rings in a basket. This was excellent and the sauce was perfect. Of course we still had some appetit left and ordered half a lobster with mayonais and Stellendamse shrimps unpealed. A delicacy again with homemade mayonaise, always a treat. Finished with something real sweet - chocolate things and hazlenut pie. The chocolate things you can skip, they can do much better than that, the home made hazlenut pie was perfect. Pitty that the coffee was not good, but I'm used to that in this country .... we need to work on that !!!

Staff is very friendly, not well trained or experienced but with everything around, of course good company, it is worth the waiting. I love this place even if IAMSTERDAM. Haven't been there in a while but surely will be back. A real treat, the prices are also very good for the quality served !!!
