Visiting Rotterdam? Want to visit a charming cafe/bar/restaurant that's 120 years old and eat delicious traditional Dutch food? (At reasonable prices) Then look no further than the Ballentent. Gezellig (cozy) traditional bar/restaurant with ample outdoor and indoor dining spaces, steps from the city center, overlooking the harbor. Travel back in time and taste. Their meatball specialties, hence the name, are entirely unchanged over the last 120 years. Apparently, even the butcher that supplies the meatballs is the original since the place/'tent' opened in 1902. We can't wait to go back in the evening, when the place comes alive with a local crowd and old time music. Highly recommended.

A legend in Rotterdam serving just about the very best traditional Dutch meatballs. However we can just pop in for a drink or two with some delicious snacks. The large outdoor dining area is beautiful and in the winter one can sit and have a meal/drinks in a heated terrace enjoying the view....

Highly recommend! If you saw pictures of the food plated up, you might give this place a miss as it doesn’t look THAT appealing, however don’t judge a book by its cover definitely applies! We had the meatball and it was amazing. The staff were super friendly and welcoming too.

Fantastic restaurant! The meatballs are amazing, with an excellent price quality ratio. Portions are generous. The service is friendly and the restaurant itself is very well taken care of. There are a lot of indoor and outdoor sitting possibilities. A place not to miss.
