Ik ben Marcel van Zomeren, trotse eigenaar en chef-kok van In Den Rustwat in Rotterdam-Kralingen. Mijn duurste ingrediënten zijn liefde, tijd en de topkwaliteit producten die we gebruiken. Uiteraard zijn deze zorgvuldig gekozen bij biologische en lokale telers (onder andere Voedselbos en de Biesbosch). De basis voor onze gerechten is de Franse keuken, waar ik graag mondiale invloeden aan toevoeg. Door mijn nieuwsgierigheid krijg ik steeds weer inspiratie voor nieuwe gerechten. Mijn missie? Dagelijks samen met mijn fantastische keuken- en bedieningsbrigade onze gasten verrassen!

What could one say about Marcel and IDRW, after 30 years as his customer, other than wishing Maaske was still around to watch with pride all this.

I would have appreciated it if they would have offerd my grandfather a seat while he was waiting, (besides the fact that he was an hour early). I don’t think making an 84 year old wait standing in the hot sun on the parkinglot is very decent.
The service clearly paid attention to other tables than to us. A three course lunch took 2hrs 40 min – quite a bit even by Michelin standards. We would sit for 20-30 min at an empty table with plates cleaned. We were served one slice of bread per person – and not replenished.
Again, the food is very good – the smoked potato mousse demonstrated that the chef can clearly do miracles with ordinary staples. But the service is still to match.
This time we still were in partial lockdown (QR code and closing time 22h). IDRW has a classical and conservative image, but we were seated in the ‘new’ more modern looking new part of the restaurant. At first I wanted the traditional side of the restaurant but at the end I was very glad to see their ‘other’ more modern side. Ambiance 7/10 but because of the cosy fireplace and the art on the table 8/10.
We were greeted by the Chef and I had several talks with the Chef, during and at the end of the dinner. To summarize the evening: IDRW has improved drastically!! It was very good before in 2020, but if you would have told me this restaurant had ⭐️ or ⭐️⭐️ Michelin stars: I would have totally believed it!! Its their goal now to get a star the Chef told me. And I told him we experienced that they really went, not one, but two steps up the ladder!!
Service was great, not stiff at all. They even accompanied the four of us with two people with umbrellas all the way to the car park And it was raining and storming so the guys umbrella gave up and flapped the other way Poor guy but 10/10 for service.
The dishes and wine were amazing, I was really surprised. The pictures and menu speak for itself.. Some dishes at the beginning, the wine was on the safe side (nice to drink without the dish). But as the evening proceeded the wines became less winebar and more cuisine (really jumped out when paired with the dish)!! Cuisine 9/10
We had a fantastic evening with good company (critical foodies!)… I will not be surprised at all if this restaurant earns their Michelin star this year. They totally deserve it!!! ❤️
Service: …
So my recommendations:
1. In general, large groups please be cautious in going there. They made mistakes with our group orders in two of the four time we were there, and refuse to do anything about it.
2. For non-Europeans, I won’t make conclusions as to whether they are prejudiced, but you can form your own judgement.
