The name already invites contemplation: <em>choux<\/em> is French for cabbage \u2013 traditionally the vegetable with the lowest status \u2013 but <em>choux<\/em> are also cream puffs, which represent refined, higher pastry. Building on this, it also means &#8220;sweethearts&#8221; or &#8220;darling&#8221; (as in <em>mon chou<\/em>), and Choux combines the earthly and the elevated with a charming appeal.<\/p>\n<p>It is located in a striking, bright red building at the quirky edge of the De Ruyterkade, just under the bridge near Amsterdam Central Station. Guests can choose from three (\u20ac33), four (\u20ac41), or seven courses (\u20ac55). The young owner serves only wines made with as few artificial processes as possible; there is also a delightful option with half-glasses starting at (\u20ac21). The predominantly unpolished, light style of these so-called <em>vins naturels<\/em> pairs beautifully with the food \u2013 here, it gives green vegetables an edgy twist, there is freshness to balance richness \u2013 and it&#8217;s exciting throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Text: Hiske Verspille, from <em>Het Parool<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11696,"template":"","bistro-provincies":[228],"bistro-categorie":[],"class_list":["post-11694","bistro","type-bistro","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","bistro-provincies-netherlands"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro\/11694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bistro"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"bistro-provincies","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro-provincies?post=11694"},{"taxonomy":"bistro-categorie","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bistronomie.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bistro-categorie?post=11694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
