The place

The Hotel New York occupies the former headquarters of the Holland America Line, the shipping company whose quays emigrants left from for America, at the tip of the Wilhelminapier. Its café-restaurant is enormous, with high ceilings and large windows over the Maas, and runs all day: French-inspired cooking, plenty of fish and seafood and brasserie classics. In the morning it serves a breakfast buffet that is also open to people who are not staying at the hotel.

Practical details

Open every day from 12:00 to 22:00. The breakfast buffet, Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 10:00 and at weekends from 8:00 to 11:00, costs €24. You can book a table on their website for groups of up to twelve. From the centre, walk across the Erasmus Bridge or get off at the Wilhelminaplein metro and tram stop; it is a good stop on your return from the Spido boat.

What to order: fish or seafood of the day at midday; or the breakfast buffet if you are staying nearby.
