"Run by Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, the renowned duo behind Restaurant 212, this is a bistro of the old school. As you enter this charming, lively place in the bustling Utrechtsestraat, you receive a warm welcome from the chefs, and delicious aromas waft towards you. You quickly get the feeling there are no obligations and yet anything is possible. The entire à la carte menu is a real treat for any foodie.The chefs are not afraid to use lesser-known ingredients such as oxtail and zander. The intensity of their no-nonsense dishes makes a convincing case for why this overlooked produce is deserving of more attention. Veal kidneys, for example, are served with an irresistible creamy sauce based on a veal stock with a shellfish jus. The zander is candied in smoked butter, topped with zolderspek (smoky bacon) and goose liver, and combined with roasted quince and the strength and acidity of sauerkraut. At De Juwelier, they keep things straightforward and yet will still surprise you with traditional rich flavours, modern freshness and French finesse – a feast like in the old days!" - Michelin Inspector

The most budget-friendly MICHELIN-starred restaurants in the Netherlands

"Like its little sister Bistro de la Mer, De Juwelier is a vibrant place where you can get a great à la carte meal seven days a week, for lunch and dinner. Yoran Jacobi has no qualms about incorporating less mainstream ingredients such as pike-perch and bone marrow into his uncomplicated yet impactful dishes." - The MICHELIN Guide

My partner and I chose De Juwelier for our 15th anniversary dinner. The service was top-notch! They made everything possible (and even more) to make us enjoy the evening. We started with a glass of champagne, Irish oysters, and a smoked cheese souffle besides a delicious, creamy butter with bread. For appetizers - pate and beef tartare. The pate with foie gras was a work of art! The tartare with oyster was an interesting, yet delightful combination. For mains, we ordered red gurnard and seabass. Red gurnard with Iberico ham, paired with a salty, foamy sauce, resulted in a flavorful and strong dish. The seabass, served with its scales, created a perfect balance in terms of texture. The aroma of fennel complemented the fish and added freshness. Thanks to the team, the wine pairing elevated both dishes. Last but not least, the baba au rum was an inventive and interesting finish to the evening. Will definitely revisit in a random day.

Like all my reviews, it's all about expectations. This one delivers! Exactly what I expect from an "a la carte" 1 star. Great service, delicious, known dishes cooked extra well. They also had pretty good wine knowledge!

The third Michelin Star Restaurant from Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot, this one a Bistro, focuses on classics in an a la carte format where all dishes are similarly portioned for sharing thanks to a recent menu change. Located mere steps from Bistro de la Mere, bar seats leading to a staircase with tables one story above, guests will find service quickly paced but perhaps a little understaffed as a lone man tended to delivering and clearing plates for five tables while neglecting beverage service. High-priced for what is essentially French Tapas, €7 “Streetfood” inspired Souffles two bites at most, dry Reisling pairs well to starters such as lean Beef Tartare complimented by the Sea as well as a steamed “Souffle” reminiscent if Quenelle de Brochet. Impressing with Pate en Croute, a thin slice but nicely textured, confit Turbot seems unneccesarily complicated while €33 each sees Sweetbreads amidst Olives a far better proposition that a single slice of glazed Duck. Not afraid to go bold with local Lamb, wrapped for texture in a rich Sauce bolstered by Cumin, Paprika and Harissa, Sweets all come kissed by Booze with both Pecan Pie and a flaky baked Apple outpacing a Ducasse-priced Baba at roughly half the size.

Visited this establishment over Amsterdam Restaurant week for the 5 course Michelin lunch. Having dined in many Michelin starred restaurants my experience here was rather flat. Service was good, the atmosphere is cozy, however the food lacked the experience I’d expect from a starred restaurant. Some of the flavour combinations were too pungent for my palette and did not quite hit the spot for me personally.

Went there after a very disappointing dinner and I gotta say, this place did not disappoint! We only had two desserts and a couple drinks but the precision being the dish that we got were so well executed. I wish we had more time to spend in Amsterdam to go back I try the rest of the menu.

Wonderful experience. Our waiter Alex was amazing. The food was good and the apple pie dessert was out of this world.

Had an amazing lunch (5 courses). Wonderful play on taste and textures. Was glad to find some acidity in some of the dishes to cut with the fat. We still had to drive, so I cannot speak about the wine list (although I did see there were very few by the glass). Fortunately they did have an alcohol free wine. The portions of our set 5-course menu were rich and delicious. The prices were very very reasonable and I almost felt bad that we didn’t order any wine as their non-alcoholic menu was limited. All in all a lovely experience.

So the restaurant looked really nice. Some really good wines. Cohesion was unfortunately not there; no communication about structure of food and wines. Dishes were good, but only the main dish was former Michelin worthy. Big mis match with red wine and desert (cake with sweet rum). We give feedback about this, they acknowledge about this they also didn’t care. If you are reading this and looking for high cuisine then trust me, there are betters for a lower or same price and much more wow factor! Expected more so that’s the reason for 3/5 stars.
