The new restaurant ‘t Slaakhuys has opened its doors in the former editorial office of a daily newspaper. The historic building on the Slaak, designed by architect Jo Vegter, has undergone a major transformation. The interior has been given a modern and warm look. The walls of the restaurant have been decorated with graffiti by well-known Rotterdam artist Marcel Labrie. The kitchen offers a gastronomic experience by star chef Tonny Berentsen.
”t Slaakhuys is the place in Rotterdam to enjoy with colleagues, friends or your loved one refined surroundings, excellent cuisine and the best wines and cocktails. The beautiful building with its historical details, the intimate corners and the bustling bar lend themselves perfectly to this. The venue exudes international grandeur and we have done everything possible to maintain this atmosphere. It is a place where we elevate togetherness to an art,” says CEO Rob Hermans.
Star chef Tonny Berentsen
The menu of ‘t Slaakhuys was designed by none other than star chef Tonny Berentsen. Berentsen has been associated with classic French restaurant De Kromme Dissel since 1991. Where a Michelin star has adorned the door for over 50 years. At ‘t Slaakhuys, however, the menu will look different, with intercontinental influences predominating. Guests will find contemporary and surprising dishes such as a luxurious version of the Rotterdam hair salon with rendang and macadamia nuts, or the timeless classics sole meunière or poached lobster. But not only for dinner and lunch you can go to ‘t Slaakhuys. Also for the endless lazy breakfast at the weekend, or just a quick meal before work, ‘t Slaakhuys offers a well thought out and extensive breakfast.
Restaurant ‘t Slaakhuys is situated in the plinth of the four-star-plus Fletcher Boutique Hotel Slaak-Rotterdam. “With the arrival of ‘t Slaakhuys, we want to redefine dining, drinks and even breakfast in a hotel. So away with the stuffy hotel image and sameness, but instead that international luxury that they already know so well across the borders. Whether it’s an extensive breakfast with mimosas on a Sunday, a festive dinner with your loved one or blowing off steam with colleagues after a busy working day in the bar, at ‘t Slaakhuys it’s all possible in a vibrant and international setting,” says General Manager Costa Panagopoulos.
