How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Amarone
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Amarone holds a Michelin star at the €€€ tier on Rotterdam's Meent, where chef Jan van Dobben fuses classic French technique with Japanese ingredients, Wagyu, umeboshi, rice vinegar, alongside high-quality Dutch produce. Hostess and sommelier Yoshiko manages a wine list shaped around the kitchen's cross-cultural logic. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Friday, dinner only on Saturday.
FG - François Geurds
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
A two-Michelin-star address in Rotterdam's Katshoek district, FG operates in the upper tier of Dutch fine dining with a vegetable-forward creative menu that La Liste has rated 89 points across consecutive years. The price-to-experience ratio at this level is notably sharp, particularly on the Vega tasting menu, which delivers multi-course precision without the pricing ceiling typical of comparable starred kitchens.
Fred
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Fred holds two Michelin stars and a Les Grandes Tables du Monde listing at its Boompjes address on Rotterdam's waterfront. Chef Fred Mustert works within a Creative French framework at the €€€€ tier, earning 91 points from La Liste in both 2025 and 2026. Thursday to Saturday evenings are the core service window, with lunch available Thursday and Friday.
Joelia
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Joelia occupies a grand address on Coolsingel in the heart of Rotterdam, serving Modern French cuisine with clear French classical foundations and Asian-inflected intensity under chef Sofiane Bons. The 12,000-bottle wine collection and open kitchen set the tone for a formal yet energetic dining ritual. Ranked #419 by Opinionated About Dining's Classical in Europe list in 2025, it sits comfortably in Rotterdam's top tier of destination restaurants.
Parkheuvel
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Rotterdam's two-Michelin-star benchmark since the 1990s, Parkheuvel occupies a riverside position in the city's Heuvellaan quarter and carries a 92-point La Liste score into 2026. The kitchen, led by Erik and Juliën van Loo, works in a classical modern register that has made it the reference point for special-occasion dining in the Netherlands' second city. Booking ahead is strongly advised.
The Millèn
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred address inside Rotterdam's landmark Millennium Tower, The Millèn earns its star through clean, spice-driven modern cooking overseen by chef Wim Severein. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the central station below while an international wine list, recognised with a White Star by Star Wine List in 2025, matches the ambition on the plate. Open Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner.
Zeezout
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred seafood address on Rotterdam's Westerkade waterfront, Zeezout holds a distinct position among the city's fine dining tier: technically grounded in classical tradition, yet openly global in its flavour references.
