This new glossy city magazine invites food lovers and urban explorers to (re)discover the city through its vibrant culinary scene. The magazine features a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and hidden gems for lunch and brunch. With the magazine in hand, readers can make their way from one tasting experience to the next. Each edition includes ten Taste Coins, which can be redeemed for a tasting at participating venues.<\/p>\n<p>2 minutes read<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Local Taste 010 is not a traditional food tour<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/localtastenl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Local Taste<\/a> is not a traditional food tour with a fixed route, but rather a culinary guide to the city, perfect for personal use, as a gift, or for exploring Rotterdam on a free afternoon. \u201cRotterdam has an incredible wealth of hospitality venues, yet many people keep returning to the same places,\u201d says founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/thom-van-den-bossche-664755158\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thom van den Bossche<\/a>. \u201cWith Local Taste, we want to show just how much there still is to discover in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Taste your way through Rotterdam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the first Rotterdam edition, Local Taste has brought together dozens of hospitality venues across the city. Featured locations include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fabian_1nul8_group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1NUL8<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/barpepitorotterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bar Pepito<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wakame.rotterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wakame<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/restaurantmies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/old-hospitality-legend-returns-to-rotterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Villa Kakelbont<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/en\/restaurant-t-slaakhuys-gastronomy-and-rotterdam-heritage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2019t Slaakhuys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teds_place\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TEDS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nursiarotterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nursia<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ijssalon_koen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IJssalon Koen<\/a>. The selection ranges from well-known restaurants to smaller establishments, and from familiar Rotterdam favourites to places visitors may not yet have discovered. Participants can redeem a Taste Coin for experiences such as a pan con tomate at Bar Pepito, a panzer\u00f2 prosciutto at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/panzeroitalianstreatfood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panzer\u00f2<\/a>, a pasta-sharing dish at Nursia, or an ice cream tasting at IJssalon Koen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the magazine, you can read what to expect from each venue,\u201d explains Thom. \u201cNot only where to go, but also who is behind the concept, what kind of place it is, and what tasting experience you will receive with your Taste Coin.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_92723\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92723\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-92723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"Local Taste 010 | A year of culinary walking and tasting at restaurants in Rotterdam\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38-600x363.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38-270x164.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38-373x226.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.horecatrends.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/Horecatrends-afmetingen-38.jpg 710w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-92723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local Taste 010 | A year of culinary walking and tasting at restaurants in Rotterdam<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Explore at your own pace for a full year<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Rotterdam Taste Coins are valid from June 1, 2026, through August 1, 2027, giving participants more than a year to create their own culinary route. There is no need to complete everything in a single afternoon or evening. One day you might redeem a Taste Coin during after-work drinks in the city, while another time you may enjoy a lunch outing or take the magazine along on a free Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deliberately chose not to create a fixed route,\u201d says Thom. \u201cRotterdam has far too many great venues to tick off in one evening. The fun lies in picking up the magazine whenever you feel like trying something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About Local Taste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Local Taste helps residents, visitors, and food enthusiasts rediscover cities through local hospitality businesses. The concept started in Breda and later expanded to cities including Tilburg, \u2019s-Hertogenbosch, Utrecht, and Eindhoven. In each city, Local Taste brings together a curated selection of restaurants, bars, and other hospitality venues in a magazine, complemented by Taste Coins that can be redeemed for tasting experiences. The Rotterdam edition of Local Taste will be available from June 1, 2026, through <a href=\"https:\/\/local-taste.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their website<\/a> for \u20ac34.95. This includes ten Taste Coins, each redeemable for a tasting experience at a participating venue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since June 1, Rotterdam has its own edition of Local Taste.
