Bergpolder's Cosiest Brasserie
Are you looking to drift away from the center of Rotterdam and explore the city from another perspective? Then traveling to the Tines in Bergpolder, located in the north of Rotterdam is the best solution for you. Bergpolder is an area home to families, students and elders, who all have built an impressive community. Located in Bergpolder are dozens of family owned businesses, the Hofbogen passage and most importantly, Tines, a cafe where the locals love to gather.
Brasserie Tines is a cosy and inviting cafe located on the corner of Bergselaan. Their modern terrace offers a gripping view of the locals passing by with their recently purchased groceries or fathers carrying their kids on the back of their bikes. The terrace is not only prepared for getting your mid day tan in the summer but is also equipped with heaters for that mid day hot chocolate in winter. If sitting outside is not what you please, in that case Tines also offers a contemporary cosy indoor seating, highly qualified for an afternoon brunch with friends or a valuable business meeting.
Locals from all ages love to grab a quick bite or drink at Tines, not only because of their exceptional menu but also because of the welcoming staff. If you wish to meet the owner of Tines, there is no need to worry because this homelike cafe is often visited by the owner herself.
The menu at Tines consists of exceptional afternoon Dutch bites like cheese sticks, bitterballen or frikandellen. If you are looking to mix these traditional Dutch snacks with an international main, then Tines was made for you. They offer a range of dishes from hamburgers to bruschetta to ribeye to edamame.
Tines is the perfect example of where the locals up north love to go to and you have the wonderful opportunity to be one of them. Don’t forget, the Dutch are extremely ‘gezellig’ so don’t be afraid to chat up the locals.
If the definition of local would be rewritten, Tines would be in there!
