De Kade
Rotterdam, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
De Kade cooks Surinamese food on the West-Kruiskade, the street that has carried Rotterdam's Surinamese, Chinese and Cape Verdean kitchens for decades — the right address for it, and a competitive one. Four independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite, which on a street this dense with options is the endorsement that matters. Both vegetarian and vegan dishes are on the menu rather than improvised on request, so a table split between meat-eaters and plant-based eaters works without negotiation. Mains sit around €16, ordered à la carte. A vegetarian-friendly Surinamese restaurant in central Rotterdam that the neighbourhood, not the internet, put on the map.
