This bistro exudes an endlessly appealing nostalgic charm, as well as a fully à la carte menu and a chef who is able to impart his infectious enthusiasm to his team and to diners. In short, it has enough aces up its sleeve to convince any self-respecting foodie. First and foremost among them is the creative spin the chef puts on classic French dishes. Take, for instance, his perfectly cooked langoustines, topped with slivers of lardo di Colonnata and served with a delicate butter sauce infused with vin jaune and vanilla. Troef epitomises the laid-back vibe of Amsterdam!
