Gertrude — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Gertrude is a restaurant and bar in one, inspired by a French neighbourhood restaurant. Gault&Millau calls it a French bistro with Asian influences. Inside, candles are lit, tables are dressed in white linen and the atmosphere is nostalgic. Outside there is a terrace that gets plenty of sun in the afternoon. Chefs Amadou Dia and Billy Wattimena cook with the seasons: lots of vegetables and responsibly sourced fish and meat.

The wine list is large and put together with care. Raisin, the natural wine guide, lists Gertrude as an address with a great selection of natural wines. The list also features wines from small producers, such as the Côtes de la Molière by Isabelle and Bruno Perraud. The staff are happy to help with your choice. The small dishes are made for sharing, so you can try several wines with different bites.
