Corner bar à vin with natural wine and gougères

Order a glass of natural wine, a plate of charcuterie and the gougères, and forget about dinner plans. Bar François is a bar à vin in the French cave à manger sense, on a corner of the Douwes Dekkerstraat, and it feels a lot more Paris than Oud-West.

The small plates run from mackerel dip and blue cheese with cherry jam to a frittata and a tournedos for the hungry. The terrace is where everyone ends up.

Great little spot, Paco puts in lots of love. French vibe that feels real and doesn’t need to proof anything. Worth coming back here!
