About
Tucked into the Westerstraat in Amsterdam's Jordaan neighbourhood, Café Parlotte is the kind of place where an evening out has a way of stretching well into the night. The room hums with conversation, the welcome is warm, and the atmosphere effortlessly straddles casual and considered.
Chef Maarten Pinxteren draws on French bistro tradition — honest cooking, fresh produce, and a menu that ranges from charcuterie and oysters to more globally inspired plates. That combination has earned Café Parlotte a 13.5/20 from Gault&Millau and a place in the prestigious Lekker 500 for 2026.
Wine is where Café Parlotte truly sets itself apart. Head sommelier Margot Los and sommelier Nina van den Broek oversee a varied list that is accessibly priced yet never short of something special for the curious drinker. The restaurant was awarded Sommelier van het Jaar (Sommelier of the Year) in 2023 — recognition that the wine experience here is as carefully crafted as anything on the plate. Manager Eveline Feijten and host Marjolein Peltzer complete a team that ensures every visit feels genuinely looked after.
