Had dinner here last night. Booked in advance and indicated that someone with a gluten allergy was present. They dealt with it very well, explained everything clearly from their own point of view on how they dealt with it. They knew exactly what they were talking about. The food was super tasty, good, fast service and a cozy atmosphere on the terrace.
Highly recommended, we will definitely come back!

Very dirty food (my girlfriend wasn't allowed to say gross). She had ordered a gluten-free, lactose-free pizza and I would have immediately believed that was the reason if my food had been tasty. Received different food than I ordered
Expect vibrant decor, quick service, and a range of flavorful dishes that leave everyone satisfied and ready to return.

The place is beautifully decorated, fast and courteous service, very tasty food. There are many options without gluten and other allergens. Recommend to come.
No. If it's too full you shouldn't sit down. Waited 20 minutes only to find out that there were no available tables inside. Then we sat outside...with children. 2 hour wait for food. Nachos are good. Burrito, chicken wings and emolades were not convincing in terms of taste. Gluten free enchilada and nachos were good. No menu in English, no gluten free menu provided.
Enjoy a charming spot with a cozy vibe that keeps you coming back for the freshest ingredients and a variety of unique options.

Very cozy restaurant. Gluten-free pasta and many other dishes also gluten-free. It is very clearly indicated and they also have a gluten-free (and lactose-free) menu!😊
A cozy spot with a peaceful vibe, thoughtful allergen awareness, and stylish decor makes it a standout for a delightful visit.

How nice when staff think along! I have to eat gluten free and my dad doesn't eat much. There is a special allergen card and additional options were indicated by the waiter. Super. Very nice price and really nice furnishings. Top!!

Nice real Italian restaurant. The owner also comes to shake your hand and speaks to you in Italian. The food is good. They also regularly have gluten-free pizza. I would call in advance to make sure they actually have it at home when you want to come. Top!
Wonderful atmosphere and great service!
Very friendly staff, the waiter with the glutenfree symbol tattoo is awesome!💪
Food was also very good!
All the love from a Hungarian ♥️
Enjoy a uniquely tailored dining experience where attention to detailed dietary needs shines, making for a delightful visit.

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience at Shin. My husband loves Japanese food and we can never go together because by design Japanese food isn’t exactly gluten free friendly. So imagine my surprise when I found out they could cater to me. I made my reservation and they called ahead of time to discuss the menu and go through my options. Once there they took great care and a lot of effort to make sure my meals were gluten free. My main dish was especially made for me by the chef with gluten free soy sauce. I really appreciated the effort and it was delicious! It was a wonderful visit and I will be sure to visit again on my next Rotterdam visit. To add, I’ve had no gluten response which is always a great sign!
The review is based on 3 factors (i.e., prices for food/drink quality, service/waiting time and atmosphere (i.e., decoration/live music/location) and the corresponding rating is 2, 2 and 3. The food was disappointing. Super dry, almost cold and without taste (definitely precooked and warmed multiple times). Service was not good either. Drinks were served at different times, starters came after main dishes and when the waiter was asked about gluten free food we never received an answer. The decoration and the location were good. However, our general experience was not good in the end.
Experience a lively vibe with great drinks and a recommended casual dining atmosphere, perfect for any occasion.

THOMS Restaurant & Underground Bar in Rotterdam offers a vibrant atmosphere with tasty food and excellent drinks, including delicious wines, various beers, and top cocktails. The staff is very nice, and the establishment is highly recommended.
The venue also caters to gluten-free diners, providing options upon request.
Overall, it's a great spot for lunch or dinner, with notable dishes like their nachos.
Nestled in a lively harbor area, this spot offers a cool, serene atmosphere with great views, perfect for enjoying desserts in peace.

We were staying close by so decided to visit the old harbour area on the first evening. It was pretty busy and as we only wanted a drink and a dessert we wandered around enjoying the atmosphere.
A waiter from Matelief asked if he could help and we were shown inside which was lovely and cool and also smoke free. We had a great view without being surrounded by other diners.
We opted for decaf coffee and desserts: one enormous portion of a very tasty Dutch apple pie and a silky smooth piece of gluten free chocolate tart, both decorated with a couple of fresh raspberries.
Can’t believe that I didn’t take photos of our desserts!
Most people were sitting outside so it was relatively quiet inside with just background music playing.
The staff were all lovely- friendly and smiling.
It is definitely somewhere that I would like to visit again.
This pizzeria has various vegan options, which is really nice that it is available for people with a cow's milk allergy. However, they do not have a gluten-free base here. With a gluten allergy you are in trouble. So we got up again and went to another pizzeria.
A must-try spot with fair costs, featuring sign language savvy servers, lovely drinks, and cozy ambiance topped with a great view.

What a sad location this was! We had chosen a 3 course menu where we had to sit for almost 3.5 hours. The service was really bad. We started with a drink which was fine. Then we had to wait a long time to order the food. The carpaccio was fine and the tomato soup also had an okay taste. Ordered a gluten-free sandwich with the soup. This sandwich was not served and after just over an hour and asking twice, the sandwich was still not there and would be served with the main course (this was also not done immediately and we had to ask for it again). Then it took a very long time for the main course to be served. The taste was okay but the fries were soggy and not fried properly. Then had to wait almost 45 minutes again for the most pathetic dessert ever served. The crème brulee was watery, the caramel layer was nowhere to be seen and it was already cold when served. It looked more like half a bowl of custard that was served. Also, the tea and dessert were not served at the same time. In between, no one ever came by to ask if everything was okay and if we wanted something to drink and to pay (€83 for this pitiful intention) I ended up walking to a waitress who was not actually from our table , because otherwise we would probably have been there for another hour. We heard exactly the same complaints around us and people walked away angry. It's really not okay and something really needs to be done about this.
I had really wanted to eat here for a while and we finally found the time. In the company of my niece who has celiac disease. The website said there were gluten free options, tried calling but no answer. When making the reservation it was explicitly stated that it was celiac disease, so absolutely no (!) gluten in the food.
When we get there at 6:30 PM, they say it may still contain traces of gluten. And we didn't get a call about it, so we went there at half past seven to look for another place that would have it. Without reservation!
I think it's such a shame that I won't even come back for myself anymore. While it really looks nice. And the food is probably delicious.
We ate together with our friends from Drenthe. Unfortunately it was very busy on Saturday and we sat at the table for more than 3.5 hours and only received food twice... this was a shame because our friends still had to go back to Drenthe so we went home hungry. The chef did make ad hoc food for our gluten-free friend, which was very nice! In addition, what we ate was very tasty! The service was also very friendly, but the restaurant was too full for what they could handle. We will come back again on a weekday evening.
Flavorful hotpot with a cozy vibe, quick service, and unique charm perfect for parties, though space can be snug with bigger groups.

Very tasty meal. The hotpot base soup was flavorful and the ingredients were tasty. They took dietary requirements into account and have an allergen card. The allergens are also clearly listed on the app. It is possible to eat gluten-free, lactose-free and, for example, without garlic (onion and garlic, etc). They only have soy sauce and oyster sauce with gluten. Thank you!
Expect attentive service that prioritizes your needs and a commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Very good service!! I have celiac disease myself and they took this very well into account. No risks were taken and everything was prepared in separate pans. If they didn't know something about gluten/cross-contamination, they asked me. Service also very friendly. Highly recommended!
Quality eats, vibrant atmosphere, and great prices make this spot a must-visit with plenty of options for everyone.

Food and atmosphere and the staff is amazing. Really good prices for the size and quality that you get. Could not recommend it more!!! They also have vegetarian and vegan options and gluten free
Dangerous place. Ordered and explained I needed Gluten Free meals. Waiter confirmed she would ask the kitchen to take care of that. Menu did not show allergens at all, and then my creme brulee was served on a gluten cookie with gluten cake crumbles all over the ice cream and I found out after eating part of the crumbles. Super annoying to have my health impacted by ignorant staff. My advise: If you have medical dietary requierements simply don't go to this restaurant. Asked the waiter what the suspicious cookie thing was. He was just like "mh, sorry, you want anything else?" No thanks, I am totally fed up with your unprofessional ignorance, your cluelessness regarding allergies and autoimmune conditions and what your ignorance means for people you intoxicate and trigger autoimmune disease. Besides, they also ignored all other request, starting with pepper and salt.
Cozy vibe with a spacious interior and large terrace near the water, making it a perfect spot to unwind without the crowd.

Very cozy tent. The food was surprisingly tasty, with gluten-free food taken into account.
The service was also great, despite the fact that the waiter had to manage the entire terrace on his own. Respect!
The location is nice, water close by, not too busy street and the terrace is quite large.
The inside is also very nice, I didn't expect it to be so spacious there.
Neat toilets - not entirely unimportant.
This spot is all about excellent burgers in a vibrant, diverse atmosphere with a great value for your money.

First a big disclaimer: I'm a vegetarian, so a hamburger joint is probably not the most logical choice for me. Still, I want to share my opinion so that fellow vegetarians (and others) may find it helpful.
🪑 setting - You can sit inside (two floors, environment reminiscent of a pub, everything a bit tight and narrow and not really very comfortable seating). Outside there is a terrace, covered with a large awning and parasols and equipped with patio heating. However, we saw people smoking there, so we sat inside. The music was super loud (Friday evening), the three of us sat around a small table and had difficulty hearing each other. We also sat next to the toilet that opens directly into the dining area (upstairs), so there was a less pleasant smell around our table every time someone went in or out.
🧑🍳 service -.Five stars for the service. Very friendly, quick and regularly checked if everything was in order.
🥗 the food - I wasn't blown away by it. Of course I opted for a vegetarian hamburger. Even though the menu states that almost all burgers can be served with a vegetarian patty, there are in reality only three options that can easily be converted to a vegetarian version without having to remove many ingredients. My burger was okay, but not very special. The bun was nice and soft, but the patty honestly looked like a vegetable burger from the supermarket. For the price you pay here for a burger, I would have expected something like the patty from Beyond Meat. My table companions had a meat burger and they liked it. The fries were very good and it was no problem to serve the sausage separately. Tried the Snickers tiramisu for dessert. The first few bites were tasty, then it was very difficult because it was very sweet.
🍹 the drinks - Nice menu, a number of beers on tap including their own brew and also some nice cocktails.
🌱 Dietary requirements - Vegan food is possible but not very special. I saw that they also have gluten-free sandwiches.
🚽 facilities - A spacious and clean toilet.
💰 Value for money - Not for me personally, but possibly for a meat eater. The burgers are certainly not cheap, but they are slightly more special in terms of ingredients than in most other comparable places.
