De Juwelier

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Charmingly informal considering its pedigree, Amsterdam’s 2021-opened, bistro-style De Juwelier comes courtesy of Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, the duo behind the fine dining institution Restaurant 212. Spread across two floors on the lively Utrechtsestraat, the no-nonsense dining room features glossy white-tiled walls and contrasting dark wood with counter seating overlooking the open kitchen. The a la carte menu offers French classics with a contemporary twist, though is perhaps not best suited to vegetarians: veal kidneys, pork head, bone marrow, foie gras, oxtail and pig’s ears all feature. From the ocean, there are Irish oysters, hake and a whole grilled turbot. Sauces are richly nuanced, plates are artfully presented and service is excellent. There’s an extensive wine list, with Burgundy being particularly well represented, and desserts – rum baba, included – are worth saving room for.
