About this spot
Rue la Bastille brings the bustling energy of Parisian bistros to Amsterdam's Centrum with a menu focused on classic French techniques and local Dutch ingredients. Expect generous portions of steak frites, rich beef bourguignon, and flaky galette des rois that feel like a proper neighborhood feast rather than tourist fare.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the steak frites medium-rare to ensure the meat stays juicy against Amsterdam's cool evenings.
- Ask for extra butter on your fries if you want them to match the golden standard of French brasseries.
- Save room for the galette des rois, which is often served as a dessert or light meal.
