About Fenix Food Factory
A vibrant food market in a historic warehouse on the Katendrecht peninsula, craft beer, local produce, Dutch street food, and live music on the Nieuwe Maas waterfront.
Fenix Food Factory occupies a converted historic warehouse on the Katendrecht peninsula, a former red-light district south of the Nieuwe Maas that has been transformed into one of Rotterdam's most vibrant creative neighbourhoods. The market brings together a carefully curated selection of Rotterdam's best food and drink producers: a craft brewery, a cheese specialist, a coffee roaster, a fresh produce vendor, a fish stall, and regular street food vendors. The outdoor terrace on the waterfront offers direct views of the Erasmusbrug and the city skyline across the Nieuwe Maas. Fenix Food Factory represents the "new Rotterdam", creative, artisanal, community-focused, and has become one of the city's most beloved weekend destinations.
Did you know? Fenix Food Factory is located on the Katendrecht peninsula, a formerly notorious Rotterdam neighbourhood that has been dramatically regenerated since the early 2000s.
