The Maas River on the horizon, historic cranes reflecting in the water, and a neighborhood that comes to life a little more each day. De Wijnhaven isn’t just any street in Rotterdam. It’s the place where the city tells its story.
Anne&Max is located right in the heart of the Maritime District. The water laps gently outside, the focaccia comes warm from the kitchen, and Anne or Max will make you a cup of coffee or one of our house teas if the afternoon calls for it. That’s what a lunch break should be like.
A living room by the water
Anne&Max Rotterdam Wijnhaven is located at Wijnhaven 73Z, in the heart of the Maritime District. This is where living, working, and the water come together. With plenty of space to create the living-room atmosphere that Anne&Max is known for.
Rotterdam Blaak Station, the Cube Houses, the Markthal, and the Old Harbor are all within walking distance. It’s easy to walk there, and you’ll end up staying a little longer than planned. The waterfront outside invites you to linger for a while, even if your schedule says otherwise.
Lunch at Anne&Max Rotterdam Wijnhaven
Rotterdam works hard. But there’s also time to enjoy life. We’re happy to provide a little moment of enjoyment. Max’s top pick: the seasonal salad. Fresh, light, and different from what you’d make at home. Anne swears by the focaccia: warm from the kitchen, generously topped, and full of flavor—enough to get you through the afternoon.
Are you coming together? The Lunch for 2 is perfect for sharing by the water. Or go for a Club Sandwich: hearty, fresh, and perfect for lunch. The “ sourdough bread ” special, made just for Anne & Max, is also on the menu for those who want something more than just a sandwich.
The soup of the day is the weather forecast that’s always right: on a rainy afternoon in Rotterdam, you walk in and the soup is ready. Warm, homemade, and changing with the seasons.
Check out the full selection on the lunch menu.
Coffee from the Ccoillar Family
The espresso served here is specialty coffee: organic and direct trade. Will you go for a flat white, a cappuccino with oat milk, or perhaps an iced coffee or decaf when the sun is glinting off the water? Anne or Max will be happy to help you decide. And “Een Wijs Besluit,” our house-brand tea, is always a good choice.
Dining at the Wijnhaven
Planet Friendly, gluten-free, or something in between: the lunch menu at the Wijnhaven has it all. Just discuss any dietary preferences or allergens with Anne or Max, your server. They know the menu inside and out.
Children are welcome; there’s plenty of room for strollers, and there’s a play area for our youngest guests. The kids’ menu features dishes and drinks made especially for children. You can always find a quiet corner, even when it’s busy outside on the pier.
Take a break in the Maritime District
De Wijnhaven is located along the route from Rotterdam Blaak to the Erasmus Bridge, from the Markthal to the Boompjes. For lunch, you might have just come from a meeting on Wilhelminakade, or you might have spent the morning exploring the Oude Westen neighborhood.
After lunch, the Witte de Withstraat, the Maritime Museum, and the Oude Haven are all within biking distance. Or you can hop on a bike at Blaak and be somewhere else in the city within 15 minutes.
Lunch with a view of the water
There are few places in Rotterdam where the water is as close as it is here. Max calls this his favorite place for lunch in Rotterdam. (He works there, too, but still.) Sitting at a table at Anne&Max, you look out over the quay and the historic cranes that have been watching over the water for decades. Rotterdam at its best, during a lunch break.
Lunch to go, or have it delivered
Want to catch your train on time, or is your meeting starting earlier than planned? No problem: order through Jamezz, pick it up at the counter, and walk out the door with a hot Club Sandwich in a box. A soup to go also fits in any bag and will keep you warm until you reach your destination.
