With Delibird, owner Wiland Toelen has succeeded in bringing a true piece of Thailand to Rotterdam. In this exquisite restored building at Deliplein (on Katendrecht), he has created a showcase for the everyday things from life in Thailand, and particularly Bangkok. The interior is minimalist, without frills or decor. What it's all about is the authentic Thai cuisine on the Delibird menu: the meats, fish and vegetarian dishes, the soups, salads, curries and stir-fries that are purely, unmistakably Thai. Also good to keep in mind is that Delibird's takeaway counter next door to the restaurant is open seven days a week.

The Oude Binnenweg is a charming historic street while the Karel Doormanstraat is from more recent times. But both shopping streets lie in the shadows of the Lijnbaan – and the big chain stores – and it shows. The shops here are smaller and more focused on specific lifestyles. Many modern men and women know where to find Sissy Boy for basic clothing and interior items of good quality. The youth buy the latest model of Vans from the Vans Store and design enthusiasts add to their dinnerware collection at the Finnish Iitalla. And there are many more interesting shops like these to be found. Shops and stores at the Oude Binnenweg and the Karel Doormanstraat
