Breakfast Cook (February)

Bouillon d’Amsterdam is the table of the city. French comfort food with Amsterdam bravour, right in the center and at a fair price. Inspired by the Parisian bouillons, but with Amsterdam buzz. Glasses clink, plates keep coming, the service is fast-paced with a wink. Here, laughter, sharing, and living are encouraged.

Who are we?

From the iconic location Die Port van Cleve, we are building a timeless restaurant where simplicity, technique, and service come together. We cook with a concise menu that moves with the season and the rhythm of the day. From the first coffee to the late bottle of wine: always something delicious on the table, always bustling, always room for a spontaneous “are you staying for one more?

Our foundation is clear:

Accessible: Food and hospitality without barriers. Everyone is welcome. Accessibility means a fair price, an open attitude, and always a seat at the table. And truly delicious. Good food that speaks for itself. Recognizable dishes full of flavor: no trendy fuss, no tricks, but timeless and authentic, made with craftsmanship and served with pride.

Bravado: Amsterdam courage with French flair. Confident, full of character, and straightforward, but always warm and welcoming. A team that dares to speak, laugh, and be themselves.

Connection: Humanity in every encounter. An atmosphere that invites and brings people, flavors, and stories together. Homely and lively, whoever joins, eats along. We look out for each other: from regular guest to employee, from tourist to Amsterdammer.
