This article featuring the tastiest Vietnamese restaurants in Rotterdam we have enjoyed writing so much. Vietnam is a wonderful travel destination where you can have a crazy round trip. This is partly because of the beautiful landscapes and vibrant cities, but also definitely because of the very authentic and flavorful cuisine. If you are familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, you will probably agree, but if you are not yet familiar with it, you certainly have a reason to get to know it. For example in one of the Vietnamese restaurants in Rotterdam. Bon appetit, or: ăn ngon miệng nhé!
1. Madame Saigon
On a side street of the Witte de With you will find the family restaurant Madame Saigon. Originally from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and now to be found the center of Rotterdam. At Madame Saigon you can enjoy traditional Vietnamese dishes prepared with passion and perfection. The concept is based on shared dining in a cozy environment where you can also choose from a selection of delicious cocktails!
Address: Schiedamse Vest 56, 3011 BD in Rotterdam
2. Little V
Our world trip started in Vietnam, so we decided before leaving at Little V to eat. And now that we have been back for a while, we do get homesick for Vietnamese cuisine. Little V is the restaurant where you can find us then. We like to choose the surprise menu because then we are served the finest dishes from the kitchen. If we come here for lunch, it's a Banh Mi sandwich!
Address: Grote Kerkplein 109, 3011 GC in Rotterdam
3. Mama Hong
We cannot and will not ignore it, Mama Hong is wildly popular and a true Rotterdam staple. It may not be a restaurant where you can sit, but it is the best address for Vietnamese street food. Mama Hong's two food trucks are always crowded, so you may have to wait a while but it's well worth it!
Address: Korte Hoogstraat (next to the Hema) // Lijnbaan (near the AH)
4. Pho Hanoi
Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup that you must have tasted if you have been to Vietnam. If not, you should definitely taste it in Rotterdam. Pho is pronounced "fur. The two best known are Pho Bo (with beef) and Pho Ga (with chicken). Pho Hanoi has an extensive menu, so if you don't feel like Pho then there is still plenty of goodies to choose from!
Address: Schiedamsedijk 85 A, 3011 EN in Rotterdam
5. Pho Vietnamese Restaurant
Why we love Vietnamese cuisine? Everything is fresh, lots of vegetables and blissful flavors. And this is what you will also experience at Pho Vietnamese Restaurant in Rotterdam. Try the Vietnamese pancake Banh Xeo here, you'll love it. Of course there are many more to choose from, but this is our tip for you!
Address: West-Kruiskade 1A, 4014 AJ in Rotterdam
6. Deli Tasty
Deli Tasty is a small but fine eatery on the Meent. You can eat delicious Vietnamese food here for an almost real Asian price. You won't find an all you can eat or shared dining concept here, just choose from the menu or put something together yourself. But one thing is guaranteed, you will eat tasty food!
Address: Meent 40, 3011 JL in Rotterdam
7. Boguette
A Bahn mi sandwich is one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. Those from Little V are delicious, but then you don't have them from Boguette sampled. As the name suggests, Vietnamese baguettes are their specialty. Order this along with a bubble tea and your lunch is complete!
Address: Botersloot 60A, 3011 HJ in Rotterdam
8. Saigon Caphe
The Market Hall in Rotterdam is obviously already a fun place to visit, but now even more so since Saigon Caphe located there. The name of this coffee spot reminds us of the coffee chain of the same name that you can find scattered throughout Vietnam as well. You can go there from morning to night for the best coffee, as well as snacks such as a noodle soup or meat skewer.
Address: Grote Markt 272 (in the Market Hall).
