Hi!

I need to organize an informal group meeting and therefor am looking for a not too expensive and nice restaurant/bar with not too lound music in the city center, near Erasmus University. Has anybody a suggestion?

Thanks!

hi there, Erasmus University is not near the center, but that should not be a problem as public transportation is good. Trams stop in front of the university and.

Two vegeterian restaurants near the university at walkable distance are:

Westerkaatje, Traiteur
Oudedijk 182a, 3061 AR, Kralingen/Crooswijk, Rotterdam
Telefoon (010) 214 12 99
Kitchen open 12.30-20.00, Tue 13.30-20.00, Sat 10.30-17.00
Note: this is not a restaurant. You can pick up food here and eat at home. A menu on average costs 15 euro.

Lachende Varken, Sociëteit Het
Vlinderstraat 3, 3061 RL, Kralingen/Crooswijk, Rotterdam
Telefoon (010) 411 61 48
Kitchen open 18.00-21.00, Sun-Mon-Tue: closed
Note: you have to be a member.
A meal costs 12 euro and there's no menu. Depends on who cooks.

Then vegetarian restaurants in the center of Rotterdam:

Spirit Biologisch Eten en Drinken
Mariniersweg 9, 3011 NB, Centrum, Rotterdam
Telefoon (010) 411 63 56
Kitchen open 09.00-20.30, Sat 09.00-18.00, Sun closed
3-course menu 17.50 euro

Maoz Vegetarian

Telefoon (010) 412 61 19
Kitchen open 11.00-22.00, Fri-Sat until 00.00

The above all come well-recommended by one of the Dutch restaurant review websites (for which I write too).

I've also looked through my own Rotterdam restaurant tips (29 of them!).
If you like, have a look. Most restaurants are well affordable and most will have vegeterian dishes. Have a look at what you like, and I can probably tell you more about it.

For instance:
Warung mini, a tiny rundown place with delicious Surinamese food. Surinamese eateries always have vegeterian options, because they include Indian food too, but with a Surinamese twist.
Or Lulu, sort of tapas-like place with Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese dishes, with plenty of veg. options. http://www.lulu-rotterdam.nl/
Dunya Lokanta, a Turkish place with vegetarian options (right behind Central Station)

wow! thank you very much, i will have a look at your list.
