Program

9 July – 2 August | Wed- Sat | Food and drinks on the terrace! | 17:00-late (+ 9:00 on Saturdays)

Maria & Pepe opens its doors from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 17:00 (at 9:00 on Saturdays!) for food and drinks. This year, our menu is inspired by the buzzing streets of Mexico. People, colors, dogs, music create a spectacle every day on the street…it’s nothing less than their stage.

Our menu represents the stories that unwind beyond the walls of a home, all while creating a home from the street itself.

9, 16, 23, 30 July | Wednesdays | Newbies & Oldies | 19:00-21:00

Rotterdam is a bit like a Mexican fruit bowl; there’s a bit of everything. People new to the city, people who’ve never left, people who are here temporarily, and some who lie somewhere in between.

Starting at 19h on Wednesday evenings, a special dish will appear on our menu made by someone new to the city. We’ll start with a story about the dish to get us into the mood, and let the night connect us with new people and exchange stories. about home, may it be found far away, in many places, or nowhere at all.

No sign-up needed, just show up!

10, 17, 24, 31 July | Thursdays |Nights of Stories | 20:30-22:00

Stories are within and all around us. While all are different, relating to them in some way or another is quite inevitable. Even when they seem far, they’re closer than we think. Every Thursday night, a theme will gather four stories from tellers. Stories about love, heartbreak, grief, embarrassment, birth, death, and much more will bind us closer together, and show us things in a new light. Maybe we’ll laugh, maybe we’ll cry…it’ll be great.

*Note: To create the best experience, food and drinks will only be available before and after the event – not during the stories!

Free Entrance! No sign-up needed, just show up (on time!)

Dancing is joy. Every Friday night, salsa and bachata are making our spirits laugh and bodies boom to the irresistible sounds of the drums, trumpets, and the moonlight looking from above. 

Are you a beginner? Amazing! A quick workshop before the evening will show you easy, basic steps you can use for the rest of the night. Then, we’ll keep going strong until 2am! Come with friends or alone – you’re sure to have a good time.
