Food was very tasty but I expected a bit more for the share brunch plate. Lady who attended us was very nice and welcoming and so was the other staff. Coffee was particularly lovely for some reason and the decoration was warming and very aesthetic. Great place overall 👍🏼

During our visit to Rotterdam, we had the pleasure of dining at Williams Canteen, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The dishes were exceptional, easily some of the best we've had in a long time. It is sad to hear the news of their closing. Williams Canteen will be dearly missed.

Great place for a weekend brunch or night cocktail. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Delicious food, I really like the sharing options on the menu, simple yet tasteful. Was my 3rd time here, definitely coming back!

This was on my list of places for a while. I was looking forward to eating the kimchi fried chicken burger and the mint cucumber shrub. The kimchi burger was delicious with the brioche bun, kimchi, fried chicken, cabbage and cheese. The fried chicken was really crunchy but the burger was a little on the dry side. The shrub was refreshing on the hot day and was a nice in combination with the burger. This place has quite a variety of options but the fried chicken burger is their weekend brunch menu and they have a different set of dishes during the week.

This place is the true definition of five stars! I can’t find words to describe how delicious the food was. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, the French toast and kimchi deviled eggs. The friend chicken sandwich has this delightful kick. The French toast was really well done and the deviled eggs were a perfect appetizer. 100% recommended!

My favorite restaurant to eat lunch. Located next to one of Rotterdam's most famous street, yet its hidden! They serve food, coffee and cocktails. Usually when a restaurant offers more than one thing they lose focus and they cant do it all. Not Williams Canteen, man have they achieve excellence in all of them. I usually order the fried chicken sandwich with kimchi, it is simply delicious! Unfortunately they have removed the fried chicken from their menu... Bring back the kimchi fried chicken, we want the kimchi fried chicken!!! Their coffee is soooo good and taste amazing as well however not as amazing as their kind, sweet and attentive staff.

I went there with friends for the bottomless brunch. The food was delicious but the service was a bit too slow for the time available (bottomless brunch is 90min). Overall I recommend it, just not for bottomless.
