Verward

The go-to wine bar for Rotterdam’s sommeliers and chefs on their days off. On the buzzing Hoogstraat near the city centre, Ward de Zeeuw opened Café Verward in 2016 as a high-quality drinks destination with a true Dutch café atmosphere. There is no printed wine list — just ask the team or browse the cellar. Most bottles are also available by the glass, including champagne. A beloved neighbourhood institution and insider’s secret for serious wine and bubble lovers in Rotterdam.
