Joelia
Star restaurant Joelia of the Rotterdam star chef Mario Ridder (formerly star chef at Parkheuvel and De Zwetheul) is located in the Hilton Hotel Rotterdam. The French menu is divided into à la carte (Mario's Favorites) and two menus that change 6 times a year: Culinary trip (6, 7 or 8 courses) and All the Way (Mario's signature dishes). Restaurant Joelia has 3 rooms for a maximum group size of 80 people. The restaurant has a modern and green interior, combined with materials from the sixties: marble, brass and American oak, as are the characteristics of the Hilton Hotel.

Reviews
We tried both the 5-course menu (paired with the vine tasting) and some orders à la carte. Eating here was an amazing experience that we will keep remembering for a long time! Delicious flavors, beautiful presentation, great attention to detail. Great service and ambiance. Worth every penny for those who want to celebrate a special occasion.
We came and did the 5 course menu. Everything is ok. Only issue we had was that we were told that we could exchange the 5th course for cheese instead of dessert and they never told us there was an extra. Bad communication means one less star as we commented this and they were just sorry.
Special dishes with a story and broad palet of flavours. The maître’d is outstanding. All the courses accompanied by good wines. Excellent choices made.
We really had a wonderful evening at Joelia. All dishes were remarkably delicious. The wine list were amazing. The service is excellent, very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was really nice and luxurious. When we arrived, the homemade crunch mixture was on the table and that was so good!! The Amuse bouches were really creative and delicious. After a wonderful 5 course menu, we were treated with a delicious complimentary dessert. And that ended the perfect evening. We really enjoyed the night and will definitely come back!!
The restaurant is certainly a must visit in Rotterdam. The staff is extremely courteous and will satisfy every wish. The food is phenomenally good. The watermelon in particular is an exciting composition of appearance, texture and taste. If desired, the sommelier will serve excellent wines to accompany each course. The prices are absolutely reasonable. I will definitely come back here for dinner on every visit to Rotterdam.
