About

Imagine hosting your next event where the boundary between city and water dissolves. Welcome to FLOATS—Rotterdam's floating restaurant, terrace, and hotel nestled in the vibrant heart of Wijnhaven.

We're not your typical venue. The floating nature of our restaurant adds an unmistakable dimension to your experience—a subtle energy that transforms ordinary gatherings into something remarkably different.

Chef Hany Sedik crafts seasonal menus that blend French finesse with international flair, creating a culinary experience that matches the uniqueness of our setting. Each dish is thoughtfully composed to honour both tradition and innovation, much like Rotterdam itself.

Our unique offering:

  • A floating venue that creates an immediate impression without saying a word
  • Panoramic water views that change with the light, weather, and seasons
  • Exceptional cuisine that balances sophistication with accessibility
  • Versatile spaces suitable for intimate dinners, celebrations, or focused business meetings

At FLOATS, we believe that every detail matters when creating a memorable experience. The gentle movement beneath your feet, the play of light on water, the attentive service that anticipates rather than reacts—these elements combine to create something that land-locked venues simply cannot offer.

From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, our professional team ensures everything runs seamlessly, allowing you to focus on what matters—the connections being formed and strengthened against the backdrop of Rotterdam's urban waterscape.

We'd love to help bring your vision to life. Let's discuss your event over a coffee on our terrace, where the city meets the water and possibilities seem to expand with the horizon.
