Diego's Gastronomic Street Food in Rotterdam - credits Pathos StudiosIt was the listing about his surprising flavour combinations in the famous Gault Millau guide that confirmed chef Diego Buik’s feelings and further fuelled his ambitions. It was time to take his restaurant in Rotterdam-Zuid to the next level. “My great passion will always be creating tantalising burgers. But I remain a chef at heart.

We also enriched the menu with modern dishes such as a salmon ceviche and updated the wine list. But of course, burgers will also retain a place on the menu.”
