ABOUT

Welcome at Ayla, your favourite shared food restaurant. At Kruisplein, in the centre of Rotterdam, you can enjoy cocktails and dishes from all corners of the world. What can you expect? Imagine yourself being at a place where the smells of an Italian trattoria, the colors of a Greek taverna, the flavours of a North African bazar, the hot spiciness of a Thai night market and the hectic bustle of a Spanish mercado tumble over each other.  

We let worlds merge into a colourful mixture, which you get to taste. Settle on our terrace, in our restaurant or in our secret garden where you can escape the rumble of the day and enjoy refined flavours and great company.

You are most welcome for your lunch, brunch, drink and (late night) dinner. We’re there for your first espresso untill your last espresso Martini. Make sure your spot is secured, book your table online in advance.

Shared food & cocktails

Ayla is the place where you get together and share dishes with your favourite people. We serve shared food. Our dishes are therefore the perfect icebreaker and connector. Come for a romantic date, extravagant lunch or a late night dinner. Come eat with your friends, family or your lover. Take, dip, smear, break, spoon. Share, pass, break off, enjoy. 

‍Cocktails
‍Our signature cocktails are the perfect addition to your visit at Ayla. Besides timeless classics, we designed a few cocktails and distilled our own drinks that pair perfectly with the dishes on our menu. Be surprised by the combinations and ask our employees for advice,after all they know our menu best! 

For example, go for the Fragola Frizzante or the Middle Eastern Sour. But you’ll find a Pornstar Martini and Mojito on our menu as well.  Book your table and let us tickle your senses, over and over again.
