A delight for vegetarians and omnivores alike, this organic, veggie-centered eatery (albeit with meat and fish as accents, if you choose), close to the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, highlights local ingredients in its inventive tasting menus. The sparse, informal decor ensures the focus is where it should be: on the beautifully presented small plates—think fresh, seasonal ingredients in dishes, served with a variety of textures and flavors.

Als je Amsterdam en groenten zegt, kom je ook snel terecht bij Choux. Het vegetarisch afhaalmenu (35 euro) geeft u de kans ook thuis van hun trendy gerechten te smullen. Het enige dat u hoeft te doen is de gerechten afhalen en afwerken (a piece of cake, zoals ze zelf zeggen).

Exploring eating in Amsterdam, our next stop is Choux, a haven for vegetarian options conveniently located near Station Centraal. With a meticulously crafted rotating menu, Choux presents captivating dishes like pigeon leg confit and butter beans adorned with edible flowers, distinguishing itself within Amsterdam’s culinary landscape. Additionally, their Theater Menu offers an affordable €50 early dining experience, making Choux an ideal choice for a romantic evening before immersing in the jazz tunes at the nearby Bimhuis.

One of the new wave Amsterdam restaurants, Choux has been around for a few years now but still manages to top many of the must-eat lists due to its exceptional food and plates that are simply works of art. Offering a tasting menu with dishes listed as ingredients, part of the appeal lies in the mystery as well as the extraordinary looking and tasting food. Heavily plant-based, they primarily offer vegetarian or vegan food but will accommodate meat and fish eaters. A very special evening out.

Zo ongeveer naast het centraal station tref je Choux, dat in een knalrood gebouw met een kas op het dak zit. Dit restaurant blinkt al tien jaar uit in creatieve gerechten waarin groenten een hoofdrol spelen, en wordt (helaas nog steeds niet met succes) regelmatig als Michelinsterkanshebber genoemd. Terecht, Choux was en is – onder leiding van chef Merijn van Berlo – een voorloper op het gebied van de vegetarische (fine dining) keuken én het schenken van natuurwijn.

Choux had its gestation in two hugely successful pop-up restaurants before the team settled on its current location in a spacious, airy converted warehouse looking out onto the Ij waterfront. It’s been one of the pioneers in bistronomy-style cooking – serious cuisine that nonetheless breaks the formal, fine-dining mould, and in natural wine. The menu invites you to choose a number of courses, all cryptically identified only by their main ingredient.

Just behind Amsterdam’s Centraal Station, you’ll find restaurant Choux in a roomy, industrial space with a casual vibe. Chef Merijn van Berlo offers a five-course fixed menu that’s highly seasonal and veg-led, which means that vegetarians and vegans can be catered for no problem. The evening I ate there, a particular highlight was a starter of black rice, pork and squid sliced so thinly it resembled tagliatelle – delicate and salty-sweet.

Kolen in de winter, doperwten in de lente, tomaten in de zomer, boerenkool in de herfst: in dit trendy, industriële restaurant zijn zij de sterren op het bord”, schrijft Michelin over Choux aan de De Ruyterkade. Het restaurant heeft een vermelding in de gids en 16 punten bij Gault&Millau. De duurzame mindset van chef-kok Merijn van Berlo komt in alle gerechten en dranken terug, met een focus op groenten en biologische wijnen.

Choux is a new venture by chef Merijn van Berlo and sommelier Figo van Onna, who have previously opened Repéré and Foyer, two successful pop-up restaurants in Amsterdam, in 2014. The restaurant opened its doors in May 2015 and has its abode in the Spring House, located on the south bank of the IJ river in Amsterdam. Where in London a new restaurant would get all the critics in, in th...

The red building that houses Choux can be seen from the Central Station, and yet it still feels like a hidden gem. It is hard to place in any category, but it is the best place to get surprised as a vegetarian. Or as a non-vegetarian, for that matter, but you should really try the vegetarian options—sophisticated, boundary-pushing and creative cooking by chef Merijn van Berlo.

Choux puts the spotlight on dishes in which vegetables play the leading role. So much so that in 2022, it was awarded the title of 'best vegetable-forward restaurant of the year'. Head chef Merijn van Berlo joined forces with sommelier Figo van Onna of Zuiver Wijnen to craft the wine list, resulting in a masterful pairing of exquisite food and second-to-none natural wines.

With a focus on seafood and vegetables paired with natural wines, Choux offers a five course tasting menu. Although Choux favors the complex and beautiful plating techniques fine dining restaurants are known for, the dining room is relaxed and informal. At the moment this one of the trendiest restaurants in Amsterdam – the place to see people and be seen.

Located a mere stone’s throw from Centraal Station, Choux’s farm-to-table dishes are as tasty as they are beautifully decorated. Its menu is modern French, predominantly vegetarian and sprinkled with edible flowers, turning a stack of fried potatoes into a veritable bouquet.

Restaurant Choux – Geroemd, geroemder, geroemdst… Een heerlijke stijl van koken en gastheerschap waar je ‘u’ tegen zegt!. De enige vraag die rest is: wanneer gaan we?

Choux: eveneens overheersend vegetarisch hier, en hoewel we de gerechten heel af en toe een beetje al te ver gezocht vinden, aten we er altijd meer dan verrukkelijk.
