This bistro combines a certain nostalgic charm with an atmosphere that never stops buzzing. A seat at the bar is highly recommended if you'd like to soak up the energy of the kitchen. The menu is entirely à la carte, the wine list is full of tempting choices, and the chef is able to impart his infectious enthusiasm to his team and to diners. Those qualities alone are enough to win over any food lover. And that's before you discover the occasionally creative take on French classics. Crisp white asparagus, for example, is enlivened by a smoked egg yolk cream, dried chicken skin and coppa, vanilla oil and a fresh, tangy hollandaise espuma. Troef epitomises the laid-back vibe of Amsterdam!
