You could easily describe Arie Visscher's "café" as an upscale brasserie. Red velvet, marble and copper give the place a remarkably warm and welcoming feel. Open all day from 11am, it's a great option for lunch, dinner or a quick bite at the bar. Chef Visscher keeps to French traditions, serving generous portions and familiar dishes prepared with assured technique. Think briefly seared scallops with braised celeriac and a velvety black garlic beurre blanc, or steak frites with a deeply flavoured green peppercorn sauce, crisp fries and a fresh salad. Now a menu staple, his pointed cabbage dish reflects his appreciation for more contemporary ideas. At Café Visscher, the pleasures of classic brasserie dining meet accomplished cooking and a healthy dose of Rotterdam swagger.
