About
Tucked into Rotterdam's grand Scheepvaartkwartier, Bar Bù arrived on the scene and immediately turned heads. Chef Merijn Sips leads the kitchen of this Asian restaurant on Van Vollenhovenstraat, earning a 13/20 from Gault&Millau straight out of the gate — a confident debut for any newcomer.
The experience is as carefully considered as the cooking. Guests first enter a welcoming cocktail bar before descending to the dining room below, where attentive service sets the tone for the evening. When the weather allows, outdoor seating adds another dimension to the visit.
Michelin has also taken note, listing Bar Bù as a Selected restaurant — recognition that aligns with the venue's 4.7 Google rating across 371 reviews. Vegetarians are well catered for, making Bar Bù a genuinely inclusive destination in one of Rotterdam's most characterful neighbourhoods.
