About
Tucked into the Bosboom Toussaintstraat in Amsterdam's Oud-West neighbourhood, Gertrude is a bistro that weaves French culinary tradition together with Asian influences. Candlelight, white linen, and a vintage-tinged interior create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and effortlessly convivial.
The menu is built around sharing: snacks, starters, and mains sit alongside a chef's menu, all shaped by the seasons. A wide-ranging wine list offers plenty to explore alongside whatever lands on the table. Gault&Millau awarded Gertrude 13.5/20, and the restaurant's consistent quality is echoed by a 4.4 Google rating across more than 620 reviews.
When the weather allows, the terrace is an equally inviting spot. Vegetarian options are available, and from Friday through Sunday the kitchen opens at noon — making Gertrude a fine destination for lunch as well as dinner.
Book your table at Gertrude and let one of Amsterdam's most characterful bistros do the rest.
