FG Restaurant, chef François Geurds’ flagship at Katshoek 37b in central Rotterdam, holds two stars in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Netherlands (source: MICHELIN Guide). Diners book here for technically precise, playful tasting menus from a chef who trained at some of Europe’s most influential kitchens.
The restaurant’s motto reads “FG” as both François Geurds and Fanatiek Genieten (“fanatical enjoyment”). The house enforces no dress code, which keeps the mood relaxed despite the haute cuisine (source: Rotterdam.info). Expect a sequence of inventive courses built on Dutch and international produce, with theatrical presentation and contrasts of temperature and texture. Wine pairings run alongside. TheFork lists an average spend of about €130 per person for two courses without drinks, so full tasting menus with pairings cost considerably more (source: TheFork).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve well ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings and the December holiday season. Midweek dinners offer the best availability. Book through the official website or the MICHELIN Guide, and mention any allergies or occasions when reserving. Allow three hours or more for the full menu. Katshoek sits a short walk from Rotterdam Centraal station, so arriving by train is easy and removes any worry about driving after the wine pairing. Check current opening days on the website before you plan your trip.
