2 french bistro places in Amsterdam we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Amsterdam | French Bistro across every city.
The French bistro idea lands in Amsterdam as small, ingredient-led rooms rather than grand brasseries. Neuf on Haarlemmerstraat in the Jordaan works in that intimate register, while Hotel De Goudfazant occupies a cavernous former garage across the IJ in Noord with a bistro-leaning kitchen.
Bistrot Neuf has run on Haarlemmerstraat since 2009 as Amsterdam's reference French bistro, a tight room turning out classics: steak frites from the bavette.
OrderSteak frites with the natural-wine-leaning house red.
TipWalk-in often works on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Friday is a full sitting.
Hotel De Goudfazant: a 1,200-square-meter warehouse in Noord with French bistro classics, daily-changing menu, open kitchen, fully natural wine list.
TipTake the free Buiksloterweg ferry from Centraal. Book a fortnight ahead for weekend nights.
