Background

Restaurant Fitzgerald is named after the famous writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The writer who once said, "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."

We really enjoy this motto and therefore we offer you a great selection of wines from almost every important wine region and in many different styles.

Moreover our chef Remco Kuijpers and his staff have managed to ensure the kitchen has been considered one of Rotterdams best in a short period of time.

From 2018 Fitzgerald has been awarded a Michelin star.

Restaurant

Fitzgerald is a contemporary culinary and wine destination where Rotterdammers and international guests meet. A restaurant, with a beautiful private dining, a spacious bar, and a private garden. It is located on the modern Gelderseplein in the historic Oude Haven.

The international interior combines modern design with vintage classics.

The kitchen, under the guidance of Chef Remco Kuijpers, has a classical basis, but with a modern twist and serves mainly seasonal ingredients.

Restaurant Fitzgerald is open from Tuesday to Friday for lunch and dinner. On Saturday we are open for dinner.

You can choose from the à la carte menu to a maximum of 5 guests. Will you be visiting us with a larger party? We are more than happy to serve you one of our set menu's or create a tailor-made menu for you.

Wine

At Restaurant Fitzgerald we have a strong preference for outspoken wines with personality.

Moreover we like you to have ample choice to see what you like to drink when visiting us.This has resulted in a very strong growth of our wine program in just a few years.

Currently we can offer you more than 2000 different wines, from young vintages, to classic vintages and even some of more than 50 years old. Since 2018 we are proud to have been awarded the 'Best of Award of Excellence' from Wine Spectator.

That we also love Champagne can be seen from our motto: "Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right" F. Scott Fitzgerald
