Restaurant ROUX Amsterdam
Restaurant opened in the heart of the Jordaan RED its doors. A gem of an Amsterdam business run by three friends with a shared passion for good (very good) food and who together have more than twenty years of catering experience. Look, that can't go wrong. And if you manage to transform a pipe drawer into a beautiful business, French brasserie style with a long bar in the center of the business that screams for long evenings, then you can't really go wrong. Anyway, gastronomy and conviviality, that's what ROUX is all about. A promising addition to the culinary scenes of the Jordan.
Roux's menu mainly consists of classic dishes with a modern twist. A nonsense of course, that sentence, but in this case it really is true. Starting with the bites (delicious bread and butter) and then of course starters, intermediate courses, main courses and desserts with matching wines. You can take it all, you can also choose. And that is one of the things why we think ROUX is such a nice addition to the Amsterdam Jordaan; just like the restaurant's neighbors, Parlotte, it is a place where you 'just' want to sit down and where you 'just' experience a very nice evening, whether that is just for a main course and a glass of wine, or an evening-filling program. The wine list is extensive, with more than 300 wines on the menu. A glass starts at six euros.
The menu includes dishes such as crab from the North Sea, white asparagus with garlic and Parmesan cheese. And our favorite: the langoustine.
With room for 75 guests per evening, there is plenty of time to dine quietly without end times or rushing. The restaurant is open from Thursday to Monday. Delicious and truly a new addition to the Jordaan.
