About
Tucked away on Falckstraat in the heart of Amsterdam, Le Bouchon du centre is one of the most singular dining destinations in the Netherlands. For 27 years, Hanneke Schouten has run the place entirely on her own, modelled on the traditional Lyonnais bouchon — a type of no-nonsense eating house that Lyon has made its own.
The cooking is hearty, precise and deeply satisfying. Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant a score of 13.5/20, recognising the kind of quiet, unwavering quality that only comes with decades of dedication. Guests echo that verdict: a Google rating of 4.7 from 75 reviews speaks for itself.
Lunch is served Wednesday through Saturday only, making every seat here feel like a small privilege well worth planning ahead for.
Reserve your table early — this Amsterdam gem opens just four days a week, lunch only.
