About Bistrot du Bac
On the famous Deliplein, in the Katendrecht neighbourhood, you’ll find Bistrot du Bac. It’s next to the new migration museum, and close to NOTK and de Matroos en het Meisje.
Bistrot du Bac is a Rotterdam classic. Stepping into the restaurant feels like stepping into a bistro in Lille or Paris. They serve a three-course menu with options like snails, terrine, steak tartare and côte de boeuf.
Their sommelier Zappa, named after a famous musician from the USA, is a WSET Level 4 graduate and well known in the city. After working for years at De Harmonie and building an amazing list there, he left the country to work at a winery in Italy. COVID brought him back, and he joined the forces of Bistrot Du Bac.
The wine list is compact, but always full of gems. The main focus is France, but there is plenty to find from Germany, Spain and Italy. The list is full of classic wines and new kids on the block. The absolute highlight must be the wines from the Jura – all the hard-to-find producers are there. And if you can’t find one that you’re looking for, ask for it!
They serve the wines in Gabriel and Spiegelau Definition glasses, so no small, thick bistrot glasses here!
Conclusion: Bistrot du Bac is a place for wine lovers and you should definitely consider visiting when in town.
