Joelia is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Rotterdam. Led by the incredibly talented Chef Sofian, this Michelin-starred restaurant delivers food that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Every dish is crafted with precision, creativity, and top-quality ingredients, making each bite an experience in itself. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, and the service is spot on. If you’re looking for a place that truly showcases culinary excellence in Rotterdam, Joelia is the place to be!

We went there for our wedding anniversary. The waiter confirmed our dietary requests, of which I said no red meat. This was the same request I placed in the online booking and confirmed via phone when they called the day before our reservation. Each course tasted as though it was a different fish/meat served in the same brown sauce. One of the courses, they served me calve. I had to explain to them I requested no red meat. 20 minutes later I was served my course. Very disappointing experience, considering the price we paid. We have eaten at other Michelin star rated restaurants in Rotterdam where I've made the same request. No one ever got it wrong.

A haven for foodies with a very good wine list to choose from. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Great to have a sommelier who was so knowledgeable. A great way to spend an evening!

We were nicely welcomed in the restaurant which is cosy inside though from the outside doesn’t appear so. The personnel was friendly and running a lot. They could me more attentive in some cases since for example we had to ask for more water rather them asking us. The food though was excellent, very tasteful and nicely presented.

Place is good. They charged us something out of the menu and they never told us. So bad communication. The rest was ok and the place is very nice. Sad to have that stain on such a place.
