Bistro Amsterdam
French cuisine with Amsterdam flair
V&A Bar • Bistro is a French bistro in Amsterdam, set in a monumental corner building on the Prinsengracht in the Jordaan. French cuisine, 60+ French wines, and the energy of Amsterdam come together.
Lively, warm and relaxed, with a focus on flavour, hospitality and long evenings around the table. Classic French flavours, modern bistronomy an the character of the city come together in our own signature: Bistronomie d’Amsterdam.
A place for lunch, dinner and shared dining, with the relaxed elegance of a French wine bar. For a long lunch, or quick bite at the bar to an extensive dinner, V&A is a restaurant in Amsterdam for lovers of French cuisine, great wine and unpretentious hospitality.
At V&A, we bring French bistronomie to Amsterdam through classic flavours, seasonal ingredients and the atmosphere of a true canal-side bistro.
Le Menu
Apéritifs • Petits Plats • Grands Plats
The menu at V&A is inspired by the way modern French bistros are enjoyed today.
Begin with l’Apéritif: small bites paired with champagne, a spritz or a beautiful glass of wine. Continue with several Petits Plats to share together, or choose one of the Grands Plats as a more substantial course.
From a spontaneous glass of wine at the bar to a long evening of shared dining — V&A is all about freedom at the table and relaxed gastronomy.
V&A Bar • Bistro brings the spirit of French bistronomie to the Jordaan, in the heart of Amsterdam.
Season & Wine
Seasonal ingredients inspired by French classics
Our kitchen moves with the rhythm of the seasons. We work as much as possible with fresh ingredients sourced from smaller producers, trusted suppliers and farmers who value craftsmanship and quality above all else.
Alongside the kitchen, wine plays an essential role within the V&A experience. Our extensive wine list features carefully selected French and European wines, ranging from renowned houses to smaller producers full of character.
