About
Tucked beneath street level on Schiekade 189, Ox is one of Rotterdam's most distinctive dining destinations: a dark, intimate underground space that feels somewhere between a clandestine hideaway and a serious cocktail lounge. A large aquarium and a beautifully appointed bar anchor the room and set expectations high from the moment you walk in.
Chef Along Zei leads a kitchen that earned a 12/20 from Gault&Millau for its inventive take on Chinese fusion. Dishes are bold and original, arriving at the table as colourful, considered compositions that balance freshness, lightness and just the right amount of heat. Vegetarian options are available throughout the menu.
The bar at Ox is no afterthought — the cocktail programme is as thoughtfully crafted as the food, perfectly mirroring the underground atmosphere. A Google rating of 4.7 from 232 reviews confirms that guests leave as impressed as the critics.
Book your seat at Rotterdam's most underground dining experience — before someone else does.

"Een speakeasy restaurant? Hebben ze gewoon in 010. Bij Ox Rotterdam maakt Alexander (van Nixy & Lexy uit onze video) de meest awesome gerechten voor je. Siu Mai? Geweldig. Naast de dimsum serveren ze nog vele andere heerlijke gerechten en dan hebben ze ook nog eens geniale cocktails." — De beste dimsum van Rotterdam vind je bij deze Chinese restaurants
"De dakakker is een moestuin boven op het Schieblok, vlakbij het centraal station. Op woensdagmiddag is het restaurant geopend voor het publiek en wordt hier gekookt uit de tuin, waardoor het altijd een verrassing is wat er op het menu staat. Met lekker weer kan je ook op de veranda aan de tuin zitten. Lokaler eten dan dit is niet mogelijk!" — De beste plekken om te lunchen in Rotterdam
