Food Scene

With a love for food and craft these entrepreneurs found each other more than two years ago in the streets of Rotterdam. A passion was shared, a plan was made and a dream was realised in an old port warehouse on Katendrecht. Under the name Fenix Food Factory these entrepreneurs offer Rotterdam a culinary hotbed; a place to go shopping, learn how products are made and to experience craftmanship. Closed on Mondays only! So time enough to come again!
