This lunchroom is the result of an idea that got out of hand. Owners Roger Brouwn and Tobias Prins, both working in the music industry, decided to team up. A shared office seemed ideal, and how great would it be to have a bar in that office where they could host parties! That bar? That became Altijd In De Buurt! On the menu at Altijd in de Buurt you’ll only find things that they personally like to eat and drink. Crazy but amazing creations as result: chicken ‘n waffles, buurtsalon - a variation of the famous Rotterdam kapsalon - and a falafel salad. All the dishes are displayed on the menu with a picture, so you instantly know what you can expect. Altijd In De Buurt creates “in the neighborhood kind of feeling” and yes, there even is a swing! Altijd in de Buurt has different seating area’s, you can sit on the terrace when the sun is out, work on the long table with your laptop or take a seat in one of the two littles houses on the second floor if you are looking for a little more privacy. From time to time Altijd in de Buurt organizes events. There is no lack of good music and good vibes here, that’s for sure. A personal favorite: R&B karaoke.
