Code of conduct
How to get to Roodkapje?
Location and route.
Roodkapje/Burgertrut is located within walking distance from Rotterdam Centraal Station, it takes you around 5 minutes walking if you exit the station from the center side to the left. If you come by public transport take a tram/bus/metro/train to Rotterdam Centraal Station or tram stop Weena and walk 5 minutes from there.
If you come by bike you can park it on the opposite street of Roodkapje or around the corner of the Burgertrut restaurant. If you come by car, you can park it on street parking places. The cheaper option is to go to nearby parking garages Parkeergarage Delftseplein or Parkeergarage Schouwburgplein.
What if I get hungry?
Burgertrut restaurant
Our restaurant is open from Tuesday – Sunday and is most busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. We can seat 60 people in our restaurant and when completely full it can be loud and hectic. Sundays are usually a quieter and calmer alternative for less sensory overload. Burgertrut is a PIN only restaurant. Our menu can be found here
The restaurant is surrounded by stairs and therefore not completely accessible, we have a ramp that can be installed for wheelchair users. The ramp is quite steep, our staff would gladly assist wheelchair users to get up. It is too steep for a mobility scooter, also please keep in mind we do not have an accessible toilet present in the building. A near wheelchair accessible toilet can be found in Rotterdam Central Station.

What to expect at Roodkapje and Burgertrut?
Roodkapje offers a unique multidisciplinary breeding ground for young talent in a dynamic, riotous and multi-voiced program. Our location is an:
exhibition venue | concert hall
nightclub | hamburger restaurant
The cultural program happens in every nook and cranny and from noon till the early morning hours. We believe a hamburger can be art and celebrate both the low- and the high brow. We travel beyond existing art forms and break through boundaries and binaries.
Burgertrut is Roodkapje’s cosy hamburger restaurant where you can drink, eat and meet others! The best veggie, vegan and organic beef burgers in town are accompanied by a great selection of art, music, coffee, tea, homemade (vegan) cakes, healthy salads and soups. Best of all, the profit of Burgertrut supports the cultural program of Roodkapje
Accessibility
Roodkapje is situated in an old anti-squat building without a possibility to create a toilet for wheelchairs. The event space is on ground level and directly accessible from the street, Burgertrut restaurant is surrounded by stairs, but we have a ramp that we can attach to the stairs when needed.
