I very much like this place. It serves very good French food in the heart of Amsterdam. As it is more of a "bar à vin" than just a restaurant, they also have a very nice wine list where you will be able to taste French and other great wines in every price range. read more

We made a last-minute reservation and sat in the bar area. The waitstaff was attentive and really nice to chat with. We started with bread and a salad. For entrees, we got the fish special, which I believe was perch. The wine and food were excellent! It wasn't noisy, which is always a plus for me. Great location and atmosphere. read more

Lively, lovely place with an extensive wine list. Food was nicely prepared and delicious. Very good service - helpful and attentive but not over-bearing. We look forward to returning on our next trip to Amsterdam. read more

After 3 weeks of a Viking river cruise that began in Budapest and ended in Amsterdam, the best meal of the entire trip was at Bistrot Neuf. The escargot was the best I've had, and I've had it a lot. The bread was delicious, even by european standards. Then the Chef's surprise was just marvelous! It began with "cold fish" which was actually warm, white fish with caviar. Amazing! Then duck that was also superb. Dessert was poached pear with chocolate sauce. Service was excellent. read more

I had a 24 hour layover in Amsterdam. Wandered into this joint in the main hipster area and was treated to an amazing 5 course meal i.e. "menu du chef à cinq plats." My server Anna gave an amazing description of each plate - I took pictures so that will have to do. read more

Lovely place, great ambiance and service. Great wine list, featuring local wines. The food was fresh and servings were a nice size, but lacked flavor. The combo (price fix) and chef's selections are a nice deal, but all in your party need to get it, as it's not shareable. read more

What an incredible five course chef meal paired with a lovely yet reasonably priced Pinot , I simply enjoyed every aspect and felt very welcomed with my Chicago accent . I would highly recommend, just plan on a few hours as it's a lovely perfectly timed meal . read more

My seven course meal in Amsterdam was one of my top 20 restaurants in the world. It started with oysters ,two different kinds, from Normandy France. The following dish was a poached lobster with a side salad of delicious vegetables from the local market. Then, a delicious poached egg with caviar. The chefs(4 of them as you can see in one of the pics) made a superb dish of pumpkin and mushrooms . These were all served with the accompaniment of a Spanish white wine, albariño. The 4 hour enjoyment of culinary excellence continued with a delicious duck and potato plate and then quail in a well created sauce that was so good, I had to order a piece of bread to scoop it up. The final plate was a dessert of a delicate flakey waffle and a local nut gelato. These were all accompanied by a sophisticated red wine from France , a Saint Emilion Gran Cru. read more

Walked in one evening, the night before leaving back to California. They were packed, we had no reservation but they immediately made us feel welcome and said we could eat at the bar. We had an amazing dinner. I had escargot to start... amazing, and make sure you use the bread to get all the butter and garlic, followed by Cod, a nice portion surrounded with delicious sides. My girlfriend had the duck liver and also the Cod. With wine, water and bread, it was very reasonably priced. Sorry no pics, but a fantastic place to visit. We could watch the cooks from the side which was great. The staff so friendly and engaging yet also working hard to keep up with the busy restaurant. Can't wait to get back to Amsterdam and Bistrot Neuf! Thank you all! read more

What a gem. Terrific cuisine and fabulous service in an extremely charming atmosphere, right in the middle of the Amsterdam hustle and bustle. Get reservations because it's a popular spot with locals. Fresh takes on French cuisine and a terrific wine list. read more

I was walking around downtown Amsterdam and noticed this restaurant. The kitchen is the "open concept type" and next to the front window. So from the street you can see the chefs working. I checked the reviews online and they were good. I also booked online using open table but when I got to the restaurant, they said they had not gotten the reservation. This is the second time this happened to me in Europe with open table. The restaurant was able to find us a table. There were four of us and we chose to start with the caviar and the French Charcuterie plate as appetizers. The caviar was served with creme fraiche and blinis. Great caviar. The French charcuterie plate had two aged hams and two saucisson sec (French salamis). Yummy and served with real French bread. The main courses were braised beef, guinea fowl and the daily fish special. Everyone raved about their food! The wine was a nice Sauvignon Blanc but the highlight of the meal was the food. read more

Thoughtfully prepared food with excellent presentation. Wine service is exceptional. Boris will manage a Michelin rated restaurant one day.

Great meal. French bistro that was just a tad on the salty side but overall good. You get olives to start then a good basket of bread and salted butter. Service was ok but not great. Escargot 9.50 was good to share. The duck confit special with Cherry gastrique and fried polenta was excellent. The salad on the plate helped cut the fat. 24 euros but a fairly generous portion. The lamb steak 23.50 euros with lavender gravy was tender and delicious. Intimate and cozy when dining in the back. Within a 7 min walk from central station. read more

Bistrot Neuf - Great suggestion - Wine Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was a fantastic experience. We started with oysters (and birthday prosecco), and a small charcuterie plate. Delicious! Then a round of warm starters- escargots and bouillabaise. The soup was PHENOMENAL. I will probably order it as a main next time. We shared a cote de boeuf as a main. It is the second best cote de boeuf I've had, but there is stiff competition. Afterwards we had a crème brûlée to share. Really good. We highly recommend the Sancerre white wine. I am not a wine expert but my boyfriend grew up in the wine trade, and he made a solid choice. It was incredible. It's not the cheapest, but I paid pretty much what I expected for a meal of that calibre in this city. read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. 5 Stars is not enough. Came across this place almost by accident. Our server was wonderful and the food was uniformly superb. Advice for wine pairings was spot on. Hard to think how it could have been any better. read more

***Bistro Neuf's MOP (Meal in One Pic)*** http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bistrot-neuf-amsterdam?select=wrwwuxBxKom1IwoZnP_RKQ#wh0FG_kYMg06fm1SRh-JMQ ********************************************* In an area that has mainly Kebabs, Fries Shop, Fast Food, Pizza and not so much restaurants Bistrof Neuf is a great restaurant for lunch and is not too far from Central Station. The lunch menu is particularly stellar as it has great dishes for affordable fare. A lunch portion of the bouillabaisse was 11 euros and it had real lobster!!! The croque Monsieur was 7 euros. For lunch there is one chef in the small open kitchen preparing everything. The food might come slowly so please do not come to Bistrot Neuf if you are in a rush. The Herring shop on the bridge should do it for you. We tried: Bread Basket http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bistrot-neuf-amsterdam?select=wrwwuxBxKom1IwoZnP_RKQ#yDO42nj55gUcf6u9N0F9Sw All the breads were good and tasted fresh. Nice butter came in the basket. Bouillabaisse http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bistrot-neuf-amsterdam?select=wrwwuxBxKom1IwoZnP_RKQ#TLtH2eFqUk-tp5kikAJKww For lunch, this portion of fish soup was amazing. It had 4 mussels, 4 clams, fish, and a bit of lobster. The rouille was well done. It had nice seasoning and a lot of flavros. The seafood was well cooked and was not too chewy. A great dish Croque Monsieur http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bistrot-neuf-amsterdam?select=wrwwuxBxKom1IwoZnP_RKQ#zS84eP9bl1bEkVbW5znCeA Rustic croque monsieur smothered with delicious cheese. Every ingredient was perfect. From the artisan bread which was a great idea instead of Pain de Mie, to the thick slice of ham, to the small salad. The bechamelle was well balanced and the right amount was put on the sandwich (which is not too much). A simple, small but feeling Croque Monsieur. On your way to Central Station, take a small detour to enjoy good french dishes in the mist of Amsterdam. read more

My husband and I shared a marvelously romantic late dinner here on our first night in Amsterdam. Everything was perfect: the friendly, attentive service, the atmospheric low lighting, the excellent bottle of Sancerre we split, and most of all the food. We were overwhelmed by the menu, since everything on it looked amazing. We ended up getting the chef's tasting menu, as well as a dozen oysters, and were so glad we did! We were hesitant because there was a foie gras appetizer we really wanted us to try, but the waiter assured us that foie gras would make an appearance in the tasting menu...and it did! And it was delicious! I unfortunately don't remember details about what we ate (see previous note about the bottle of Sancerre), but everything was lip-smack-tastic and we cleaned our plates. After a couple of days in Amsterdam we headed to Paris, where we naturally ate French food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the duration of our stay. Despite this, our meal at Bistrot Neuf stands out as among the best French meals we had in Europe...and it's not even in France! read more

I had been wanting to eat at Bistrot Neuf for like, forever, and finally made it during restaurant week. It was as nice as I had hoped! Now, being restaurant week it was SUPER busy, but we were seated pretty quickly (of course had a reservation) in a corner spot that despite the chaos was calm and we could hear our dinner companions just fine. We had no problem with service, everything was prompt and the food was amazing! We stuck with the 3 course restaurant week deal (the fish stew I had was a giant portion of cod served with mussels on the side on a puddle of saffron broth....YUM). The lentil salad that started was also really nice. One of our pals tried the steak tartar and raved about how nice it was (not on the pre fixe menu). Of course, because Bistrot Neuf is associated with the wine shop next door which resulted in a nice wine list to choose from. I really enjoyed eating here, and I hope to go again!! It was a lovely evening. read more

I like this place. Been here 3 times now- very happy with each experience. Seafood bisque is very tasty. Almost like meal... I live their oyster steak tartare. Really strange combination... But I love both so why not just have everything I like on one plate. The atmosphere is relaxed and quite fun. Definitely not the typical "French" restaurant that you would expect. Reasonably priced. Win! read more

Excellent food. Mushroom and snail apps. Wild boar and Halibut entrees. One of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The black sauce was perfect. Potatoes cut easily but didn't mash up. Fish melted in my mouth. Make a reservation, don't miss this place. read more

Small and pleasant. The service is pleasant and the the plates were balanced and tasty. The three course menu offers a number of interesting choices and you can substitute items from the al a Carte menu. read more

Perfect place in a perfect neighborhood. The ambience of this place is super cozy. I have had business dinners and dinners with friends here and it goes well for any occasion. The menu is updated regularly so there is always something to look forward to. Their brioche bun with foie gras used to be great, the oysters are always good, the cote de boeuf is more than plenty for two people...I could go on and on....I have always enjoyed the food here. The wine selection is brilliant as they get it from the wine store Chabrol next door - so rest assured, you will get what you want in terms of wine. The service is friendly, timely and lovely. I have never had lunch here, always dinners. I have always made reservations so mostly got the day/time I wanted. So, my recommendation - perfect for a lovely dinner on any occasion. read more

My favorite restaurant in Amsterdam! I love it so much, I ate here twice and was tempted to go back! Lunch: Sirloin steak with pepper sauce, fries, and salad: Good Dinner: Homemade classic pate with croutons, gherkins, and caramelized silver skin onions: Delicious! Lobster Truffle Sandwich: Delicious! Love the French oysters, wine selection, interior, and service. The menu varies a bit so what I've had may not be on the menu. The restaurant is relatively small like most restaurants in Amsterdam and may require reservations on a busy night!

I visited Bistro Neuf ages ago when I first came to Amsterdam and had forgotten about ever since. In search of something out of our normal routine, we decided to go French for an evening. Charming and easy to reach location on the Harlemmerstraat which is nice. Tables are a bit too cozy for my taste, but it's to be expected. The staff is quite friendly and let us call ahead on a busy night to make a reservation which was handy. Nice appetizers (try the toast soldiers with egg & caviar) and the fish of the day was an amazing swordfish filet which was cooked perfectly. Service was mediocre - took ages to get menus, drinks, the bill, etc. When our wine was refilled, they didn't bring us the same wine as what we were originally drinking. Overall the food is enough to overlook the service, but it's a shame that that overshadowed what would otherwise have been a perfect meal. read more

Have been there already quite a few times, but always for dinner. This time, I tried it out for lunch and I must admit it was disappointing. I imagine the lunch chef is not the same as the dinner one. We ordered a pate to start with (very nice as always) I then had an entrecote : it was hard, well cooked but the quality of the meat was not good. It was tough and rubbery. It came with good fries, ncie mayonnaise and some veggies on the side My lunch date had a tartare which was not good at all. The pieced of meat were really big, not as it should be in a tartare. The dressing was ok, but overtaking the taste of the meat (maybe it was done on purpose) the service is always good , but was long that time We got a platter of different types of desserts and tea. It was ok, nothing exceptional All in all, better going there for dinner .. read more

We had an excellent meal with great, but unhurried service. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and I really enjoyed the pate with pistachios. The coq a vin was tasty enough to warrant spooning up the last of the sauce. Highly recommend for a leisurely dinner! read more

Terrible service and the food was unremarkable at best. The bouillabaisse was sandy and "dull / gray" in flavor. Escargot were the best part of the meal - and were just ok. The oeufs en cocotte came out after we had already asked for the check and had a weird and off putting flavor. Very disappointing - especially as highly regarded this place appears to be on yelp. read more

Dinner started well but then was disappointing when the beef steak was delivered rare without asking for the customer's preference ( which was not rare). Then the set menu order was not followed up for dessert. Two requests were made before it was served. Others at the table were not offered dessert, tea or coffee. The chips served with the beef, after it was sent back to the kitchen to be cooked, were overdone and mostly blacke. A discount was provedid end but overall the dining experience was extremely disappointing and not one that I would recommend to others. read more

Small, comfortable space, nice mellow mood lighting/music. Staff was very friendly and just professional enough. Our self styled tasting menu drew raves at each course. Along with great wine pairings from the staff (do the madeira with the bone marrow), this is one of the finer experiences I've had in a long time. And in NY it would cost twice what we payed here at Bistro Neuf. Go, you will not be disappointed. read more

Great food. A bit pricy and service could be better. Get the roasted lamb.

Escargot ! Escargot ! Escargot ! With plenty of bread to soak up the garlic butter ! Every time I'm in Holland this is my go to restaurant. Near my hotel, great menu, always good service and consistent quality food. I highly recommend Bistro Neuf, I also suggest a reservation because they are always pretty busy. read more

Shout out to Amir, our server, who recommended the escargot, steak tartar (the best!), and the cote with pate. For dessert the chocolate ganache with the blackberry ice cream was also great. Everything was so delicious and the service was very friendly and fast. You definitely need a reservation here because it fills up quickly. read more

Hmmm, Bistro Neuf looks like a 5 star place probably because of the atmosphere and oysters. Unfortunately, our dinner formule was disappointing with the exception of the bouillabaisse. I did not feel as if we received our money worth at Neuf. read more

It doesn't get any friendlier, beautiful, or special as this bistro. Went there twice this week. Service was better each time.

I LOVE this place, the food, the service and the price you get it all for!! A Bistro as it should be and with many great wines by the glass. When up for romance reserve a table in the back, the rest has a more modern and buzzy feel. read more

Service was perfect although a little bit slow on a busy evening. However staff were nice, polite and accomodating. Arrangement of food on plate was perfect. We ordered 2009 bottle of red Medoc and since they havent that bottle they offered a 2001 bottle with the same price ! read more

We four were staying just a few blocks from Bistrot Neuf, conveniently located a stone's throw from the Singel Canal and a five minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal station. It is a trendy-yet-cozy placed with excellent food and a good wine list at reasonable prices. The complimentary olive plate and Cipollini onions were hits, and included some tasty Periwinkles (the mollusk, not the flower) and little straight pins for extracting them. The menu was short, but we had some difficulty deciding among the various offerings, all of which proved to be nicely prepared and presented. I would include a photo, but that option does not appear available as I write this. The service was very engaging though a bit slow, but everything was indeed fresh, and we generally take many hours when dining together - albeit with a few more courses consumed - so that can be excused. The Manager, Jam, was kind enough to vet our list of restaurant candidates and added a couple of others that we were pleased to have patronized. We would gladly return. read more
