o bistro in Jordaan

Probably one of my favourite places in Amsterdam, if not my absolute favourite. I keep coming back and everyone I take loves it. The food is incredible. It’s classic but that makes it no less special. Every dish I’ve tried has been delicious. And the owners are absolutely wonderful. I still don’t understand how they run the entire place just the two of them, but they manage to do it while being very attentive and on top of things. An absolute gem in Amsterdam!

A great place. Nice service. The food was so-so. Creme brulee was great

Had a great experience here yesterday. It's great that they run the place with two people, but it's a well-oiled machine. Delicious food, classic French. Great wine list with both French and Italian wines for a very good price!

Very good food and the service was friendly. Their menu is small but all the choices were delicious.

Had a great meal with my old college friends. But there was little choice of food and there was only 1 man serving. And that's why it all took a long time.

Excellent food and wines. Service was very friendly and efficient, always fresh water on the table. Wine selection is great value for money.

Super cozy French spot with absolutely delicious food. I honestly didn’t know fish with white meat could taste this good!

Really, go there. Great food, cozy atmosphere and nice wine.

Had a great evening, real French food in a perfect no-nonsense setting. Thanks!

Really wonderful low-key but elevated at the same time spot - really good food, wine and vibes.

Amazing food, service was friendly and relaxed. I’ll definitely be back.

My favourite place in Amsterdam. No frills but with fantastic service, food and wine.

Had a nice evening, delicious French dishes.

Starter were very tasty. Main course sea bass was also very tasty. Cote de bouf was too much fat for us. Dessert delicious

A superb discovery! The boss, a very pleasant Frenchman, welcomed us with a smile and a lot of kindness. Relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Special mention for the beef ribs, simply incredible — perfectly cooked, tender and tasty meat. And what about the puree… exceptional! An address not to be missed, we will come back without hesitation!

The puree he cooked for us!! MAMAAA 😍❤️❤️

A treat! From A to Z! From the service to the plate, nothing to say. The creaminess and quality of the mashed potatoes are worthy of the great French chefs. We thank the O Bistro team for this magical moment that we shared during an event special to us. The wines selected on the wine list are superb. There is something for all tastes and for all budgets. I don't live in Amsterdam, but this restaurant will definitely be one of my favorite places in this beautiful city. Congratulations again and thank you to both of you.

Wonderful cuisine with warm and friendly service. The côte de bœuf was juicy and full of flavours. Will definitely come back again. Merci et à bientôt!

Simply the best restaurant in Amsterdam. We’ve been coming with family two times a year, it only gets better and better. Congrats to Daniele and the staff for keeping service welcoming and food amazing.

Very friendly service, good wine list, great crème brûlée

Informal simple atmosphere, nice owner, limited menu (blackboard is placed next to your table). Ordered Côte de boeuf for 2 people. (€72) but that was disappointing because there were too many seaweeds. Cheaper quality beef so that's a shame. We also reported this assessment of the main course to the owner when removing the plates. Answer: must have been meat from an old cow. Another table guest ordered Joue de Porc and that dish was okay. So our visit is a one-off.

One of the best little secrets of Amsterdam Amazing French cuisine and vast selection of wine Great service and true bistro atmosphere I've been many times and never disappointed Make sure you book way in advance

Restaurant run by two employees on a Friday night. One chef, one waiter. Unfortunately in such understaffed place it's almost impossible to have a good service. The waiter was not polite nor accommodating and the food was average at best. The restaurant inside looked very pretty so that is the good part of it. Tip for later would be to try 'hiding' the ineffective workflow and be nicer :) I understand that it's not waiter fault that there was not more staff available , but there was not even time to answer simple questions in a polite matter.

If I could give it more stars, I would. What a perfect evening. Atmosphere was gezellig! It felt like visiting a friend's home for dinner. The food was spectacular. Started with the pate, then Cote de Boeuf - tasty and tender, loved the crispy mushrooms, the creme brûlée was dreamy. Service was super friendly. The host was so good to our 3 year old. Lovely wine suggestions that went well with our food. Will definitely be back. See you guys again soon!

really really good. actually great! Pierre & Daniele are amazing. loved the food, the atmosphere & the hospitality. only thing of regret is that i slept 5 years on this pearl of a restaurant, thank you so much ❤️

Excellent French cuisine! O bistro is simply the best French restaurant in Amsterdam. The quality of the ingredient is top notch and the menu varies depending on the season. While I have been disappointed by so many self called French restaurant in Amsterdam, O Bistro is the place to go to find authentic French recipes and great wine selection. Kudos to Pierre and Daniele!

Weeeeeeeeelll… that was something amazing and outstanding. The meat was melting in our mouths. The mashed potatoes were tender like butter although very flavorful. Scallops were perfectly cooked with absolutely magnificent sauce on top. The salad which came with meat had beautiful handmade vinaigrette dressing. Onion soup very traditional and rich in flavor. Cheese platter was worth dying for. And of course the chocolate mousse. I don’t like sweets but this was fluffy and light like a cloud with some salt inside and almond flakes. This is 100 percent recommended. Hidden gem. Ambience and service on top. Good to mention that there is only one person on the floor and one in the kitchen which actually deeply impressed us. Everything was top notch.

The icing on the cake? A personal thank you to every remaining table from Chef himself. What a team. What a meal! Everything hit the spot - and then some. A truly pleasant surprise just when we thought we had figured out the Amsterdam culinary scene hah! Our table is booked already for our next visit :)

The good reviews are correct. The food was delicious. All dishes were fresh and the portions were good. Definitely worth a visit and definitely worth several visits.

Very good restaurant Fresh and quality products Typical but incredibly tasty dishes Beef cooked perfectly

Absolutely great place with great food and wine!

the best restaurant in Amsterdam.

What a sublime eating experience! A must go.

Very authentic cozy French place with fast & friendly service and reasonable price. Strongly recommended!

I had a fantastic dinner celebrating my friend’s birthday. Best French restaurant in Amsterdam. The food was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Honest good bistro food. Unpretentious and relaxed feeling.

Incredible food, super friendly service. Like the two guys who liven up this place. A restaurant that will cure your homesickness if you are a French person in Amsterdam. Then, once you return, you will give it back because you will only want to go back.. Again and again. And they offer a cannon if you go diving.

Exceptional food at a very decent price (which isn’t easy to find in Amsterdam). Every dish was delicious and fresh, and the owners are lovely people. It was perfect, thank you!

This place was fantastic with great service from a small team. The food was great and the atmosphere was small and intimate with locals and a charm that can't be beat. The seafood bass was great and with a restaurant being run by just 1 cook and 1 host at the time we dined. Great wine offerings and reasonable prices. My only con was the request for a tip at the end of the meal. I was happy to add a plus up but the request felt forced. Hope that's not the norm.

Very cozy and nice experience. Lovely food

Top notch food and service! Recommended! We will come back without hesitation See you soon Pierre and Daniele

Exceptional dining experience. The combination of outstanding food, excellent service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience. I will definitely be returning soon!

Revisited Friday night (Sept 24) and delighted to say they’re maintaining their high standards. The food was delicious - mackerel outstanding. (Original review) Hits all the right notes with attentive service, an authentic Bistrot atmosphere and great cooking from the French chef from Nantes. Two staff, the chef and one waiter managed the whole show wonderfully when we were there on Saturday night. 3 of us had 3 courses and wine for €44 a head. If only we could get such value, service and food as easily in London

Best in town. Best ever atmosphere, delicious food (Thanks Pierre) and excellent wine selection (Thanks Daniele). In short right place to go for excellent dinner in Amsterdam. 😉 Enjoy

Atmosphere, delicious food, good wine, and excellent price/quality ratio, all 4 compete for 1st place! Had a great evening, also because of the hospitality of the chef and crew! Until next time! To be sure!

Best meal I had in Amsterdam. The kind of food that reminds you what life is about!

I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars. This restaurant is one of kind that is run by two friends ONLY. They serve, cook and run the restaurant and they are so efficient. You will have to wait some time before your meal gets served but is it worth the wait. The sea bass was out of this world. The ambiance of the place is so nice. They also accommodated our toddler. Highly recommend this place - a nice restaurant for a date or even meet with friends. :)

Always so much fun coming to your restaurant. The dishes are excellent as well as the wine to accompany them (and well recommended!) We always have a great time there. Thank you for your always warm welcome and see you soon!

Simple and very tasty. Nice place with a menu on the board, the restaurant changes it from time to time Great service I’ll definitely be back on my next trip to Amsterdam

Terrific and authentic French bistro.

Typical French house. Gentlemen in both the kitchen and floor to serve you. Highly recommended place 🇫🇷🥖🍷

We were there last night and we were amazed by the food and the fact that was a 2 man show during the whole dinner! We all agreed was the best fish we have ever eat in Amsterdam and the meat was from another planet. They also have a great wine list. I will come back many time, chef! 😍

Thank you to Daniele and the chef for their welcome, their friendliness and their professionalism. We had a wonderful time in their restaurant. We appreciated their culinary talent and advice. Thank you both. Looking forward to coming back to your place. A Lyonnais immigrant and a Lyonnais full of clichés. Kiss

Great atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming owners who seem to care deeply about the quality of the food and excellent customer service. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We particularly enjoyed the lamb shoulder and the Crème Brûlée.

a Fantastic Bistro with delicious food, champagne & wine, and a beautiful atmosphere. We loved it!

This is a great little restaurant. Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Reservations are a must I seen numerous people come to the door and we’re not able to get in. It’s only one chef and one waiter. They are the owners and that’s why everything feels like it has a personal touch to it. We have had monkfish and pork filet mignon for main and had the artichoke, foie gras and oysters for starters Very delicious.. remember your reservation.

Amazing food and vibrant atmosphere.

Really cozy atmosphere, even early in the evening. Reception from Daniele was really personal and had reviewed our dietary requirements in order to mention them upfront which is unusual. Both he and Pierre were attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly care a huge amount about the experience, food, and wine! Both food and wine were excellent, and the authenticity of the place means it’s something special in Amsterdam. We’ll be back!

If you like Le Verre Voilé in Paris? This is the close you can get in Amsterdam👍

Really nice spot. The guys in there really know what they are doing and the food is amazing. Highly recommended

Hummm enthusiasts. Very good wines at affordable prices and dishes of fresh produce and majestically cooked worthy of the French. A very very nice address in Amsterdam

C’est vraiment délicieux ! 🍽️ Dining at O Bistro in the heart of Amsterdam's Jordaan area is an absolute delight. The atmosphere is inviting, the presentation exquisite, and the hospitality unmatched. Every dish served is a testament to the chef's prowess, perfectly paired with an amazing selection of wines. It's our go-to spot for those nights when we're not cooking at home. Don't just take my word for it, reserve a table and experience the magic for yourself. Bon appétit! 🥂🍴

One of my favorite restaurants in Amsterdam. Lovely inventive seasonal menu with great quality ingredient cooked perfectly, efficient service and cosy atmosphere. Always a delight. Thank you.

In 2023 we again regularly dined at this cozy restaurant. And just like in the years before, always so delicious! Even though the 'menu' is not large, we are always faced with the stress of choice. So we decide to order one of everything and share it. We always watch in amazement how Pierre and Daniele run their restaurant together. No matter how busy they are, we never have to wait or feel like they are stressed. What professionals! Thank you! We would love to see you again at the table in Obistro in 2024!

Not much choice in food menu. Food was okay, nothing special.

Service parfait, et cuisine incroyable ! Tout y est pour une expérience culinaire et humaine vraiment trop chouette. On sent que les 2 gérants sont passionnés et font ca avec le cœur. Bravo les gars, continuez comme ca 🔥

Certainly my favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. A menu that changes with the seasons - quite impressive when you realize that there's only one chef in the kitchen. An intelligent menu and an elaborate wine list, what more could you ask for? The service is perfect!

I love the food and the wine. Just 2 things would make this place 5 stars, 1, a bit less waiting for the main course (I understand that u guys were only 2, which is impressive but maybe with time you can get a third person to speed the flow so between starter and main there is not a long waiting), and I would say that it became a bit too noisy, something that sometimes you can manage a bit with some music (as a suggestion). I love the mandarine smell from the mandarine that comes with the bill (nice touch).

Great meat ! Cuisson saignante à la française, friendly atmosphere and staff

Al meerdere malen overheerlijk gegeten bij o bistro, simpele gerechten zeer goed bereid, lekkere wijnen en een Franse ambiance

O Bistro in Amsterdam delivers an authentic French culinary journey. Each dish is a masterpiece, showcasing impeccable flavors and presentation. The intimate ambiance complements the sophisticated menu. Attentive service and an extensive wine selection enhance the dining experience. O Bistro is a true gem for those seeking a taste of France in the heart of Amsterdam—culinary excellence at its finest.

Top eten, mooie wijnkaart, geweldige prijs-kwaliteitverhouding, ik kom zeker terug binnenkort!

Interesting menu, very friendly atmosphere, definitely a great experience!

Lovely spot, with great French bistro food and two guys who are clearly very passionate about the place and your experience. I will be back!

Very nice food, good service and ambiance! We had the lobster and fish with muscles. The chocolate mouse was amazing!

Sublime food & service. Made me gluten free bread - already planning our next trip!

Went here with my girlfriend on a Friday evening. Amazing atmosphere and even better food to pair. When I return to Amsterdam, I will definitely be coming back to o bistro

Bistro mit französischer Küche, sympathischem Service, einfacher, angenehmer Atmosphäre und gehobener Weinkarte.

Super leuke tent, lekkere Franse keuken en attent en vriendelijk personeel!

Des plats présentés simplement, mais Ô totalement savoureux. Des entrées aux desserts en passant par une carte des vins recherchées, nous avons été accueilli et servi chaleureusement.

Outstanding food and very friendly owner and Chef. Our best meal in Amsterdam.

Tout est parfait, service, plats et en plus ils sont français !! Je recommande fortement !

Brilliant food, brilliant service. Thanks so much Daniele and Pierre for hosting us and the unforgettable experience.

Un bistro comme on les aime, une cuisine délicieuse et généreuse, des patrons aux petits oignons, des vins que tu m'en diras des nouvelles. C'est sans chichi, délicieux et travaillé, c'est sympa, c'est convivial. On y revient toujours avec plaisir. Merci d'exister, votre resto fait du bien.

Had a delightful meal here, definitely the best food we had in Amsterdam. Desserts and liqueurs were the highlight of a wonderful meal, the homemade limoncello was amazing!

Excellent food. You must try the Côte de Boeuf! It’s world changing. The owner is wonderful and came to our table to discuss featured dishes and his favorite whisky recommendations. Even if you’re not sure what to order, you can’t go wrong because everything is so good! We look forward to visiting again soon.

Easily my favourite restaurant in the city, and Hans down the best French food you can get. Menu changes regularly depending on seasonality and availability of produce, and are always on point. Small wine selection but carefully chosen, makes choosing what you want easy. Staff are very friendly and entertaining, and the atmosphere is great. Also located n a great area to take a walk in after you've finished your meal. I do reccomend reserving here, it can be hard to find a spot.

What a nice place? Food was excellent and the service was great. Incredible how only two people (chef and host) can run such a great restaurant and not make one mistake or have you wait too long.

This is a beautiful gem in Amsterdam, where the service is actually friendly and genuine, which is amazing considering the place is run by just two people. Not only that, but they manage to surprise you with high quality, changing menus and the atmosphere and decor are rustic and lovely. By the way, the portions are more than generous!

Heerlijke plek, knus, Daniele is een top gastheer. Comfortfood to the max en een hele goede wijnkaart met vriendelijke prijzen. Doen!

Absolute Empfehlung! Wunderbarer Abend mit wunderbarem Service. Überaus zuvorkommend, freundlich und kompetent.

Such a nice, genuine, friendly place with excellent food. Can't believe this is on our doorstep and we didn't know!

Very nice food and a really cosy and friendly environment which just enhances the experience

The lobster dish and the sea bream dish were very good! The flavors were very subtle and well-balanced. The wine list was extensive, and they had a good selection of wines from Burgundy. The food was simple and delicious. The service was quick and efficient.

Wonderful food, wine and service. Will be back!

Typical French bistro in the western center of Amsterdam, has been here for 3.5 years says chef Pierre. You would think yourself somewhere in France with this great ambience. The restaurant was run at exceptional efficiency with one waiter and one chef (how?) and at least 20 couverts that night. The food was great: we started with tomatoes and eel, half a grilled lobster, some oysters with a crémant de Loire and as main we had sea bass with a bottle of chenin blanc (Loire of course). We ended by sharing a chocolate mousse which was amazing! Would definitely go here again!

Magnifique!!! No nonsense, geweldig eten, geweldige wijn, geweldige service.

A couple of French guys own this place since 2021, I think. Pierre swings the kitchen by himself and his partner handles the service. Between the two of them, they do an amazing job. Never had to wait for anything, The menu is pretty small, but very creative. And changes quite often, if I understood Pierre correctly. We were there as a group of 7, friends and family. Asked them to put food to share: Tomato with eel, potato with anchovies, paté, all excellent. My favorite main was pork cheeks. So was the turbot.

Excellent Bistro tenu par deux vrais passionnés. On s’est régalé !

A cool neighborhood eatery with a solid menu of French dishes and a wine list that does not disappoint.
