Easter is the perfect excuse to clear your schedule and thoroughly enjoy good company and even better food. Whether you opt for classic French, a touch of luxury, or a relaxed shared dining experience, these Amsterdam hotspots ensure your Easter brunch is anything but standard.
Cafe Caron
On Frans Halsstraat, you will find Café Caron, where French cuisine is deliberately kept accessible without compromising on quality. The Caron family's kitchen is known for its classic foundations, but always with a light, seasonal approach. During Easter, this translates into a menu centered on the first spring vegetables. The informal bistro setting ensures that you can linger here for hours just as easily as in Paris…
NENI
NENI is about more than just food; it is a way of sitting together at the table. The concept originated with the Molcho family, where food, family, and sharing are inextricably linked. This philosophy is reflected in the way dishes are served: not in courses, but meant to be shared. The cuisine has an Eastern Mediterranean character, with influences from the family's diverse backgrounds. During the Easter brunch, this means a table that fills slowly and an atmosphere that unfolds naturally, exactly as intended.
Brasserie Margaux
In Amsterdam Zuid, Brasserie Margaux brings classic French brasserie culture to life. Think of an interior with Art Deco influences, a terrace for sunny days, and a kitchen centered on familiar dishes. The menu features classics such as magret de canard and tarte tatin, prepared with attention to both ingredients and technique. Wine plays an important role here, with an extensive selection from various French regions and a sommelier to guide you.
Bisous
At Bisous, Easter takes on a unique interpretation, with a menu centered entirely on the egg in all its forms. Some dishes simply appear on your plate, while others you have to find yourself. In addition to the set menu, à la carte is also available, allowing you to spend the afternoon at your own pace.
Nela
At Nela, pull up a chair for Easter for a lunch that builds up naturally. The 'Celebrate Easter' menu starts with light dishes to share, after which the focus slowly shifts to the grill. Dishes featuring fish, meat, and vegetables follow one another at a leisurely pace, with the open fire always remaining in the background. Those who wish can pair the menu with a glass of Ruinart champagne with each course. And to finish? Golden Easter eggs, of course…
