The table of the city

Bouillon d’Amsterdam brings the soul of the city back to the table. A place where all kinds of people sit side by side — from plumber to banker, from local to curious visitor. Inspired by the classic Parisian bouillons, but with our own Amsterdam twist, set within Die Port van Cleve.

Then and now

Behind Dam Square, on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, lies a place where Amsterdammers have gathered for centuries. Once the De Hooiberg brewery, later the beer house Die Port van Cleve, now an icon where history and new energy meet.

The heritage that made De Port great — shared tables, good food, and a place for everyone — lives on in Bouillon d’Amsterdam.

Comfort Bravoure

We believe in simplicity without compromise. Good food, prepared with care. Service that isn’t rushed, but smooth and welcoming. A place that feels like coming home, right in the heart of the city.

Comfort is about warmth, familiarity, and flavour. Bravoure is about boldness, pride, and saying it as it is. Together, they define who we are: French at the core, Amsterdam in character.

Accessible: Everyone feels welcome — from locals to visitors, young and old.

Genuinely good: Familiar dishes, honestly prepared and full of flavour.

Bravoure: Amsterdam boldness, pride, and personality in everything we do.

Togetherness: Human, warm, and built on a sense of connection.
