The story
Bistro Toost sits at Dorpsstraat 90 in Amstelveen, listed under Amsterdam, and runs a modern French kitchen with a Dutch streak. The Michelin Recommended distinction arrived in 2026, and Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant 12 points the same year.
Oysters open the menu three ways: Classic with red wine vinegar and lemon, Oosters with soy and spring onion, and Spicy with chili. Heavier plates include steak tartare served with grilled brioche and sea bass roasted with artichoke and yuzu beurre blanc. The tarte tatin with foie gras and red port jus shows the French side of the kitchen most clearly.
The wine list is extensive, and bottles from private cellars are priced to be approachable. Staff will help you match a glass to your plate. Guests can sit at the bar, at the counter, or at one of the cozy tables among colourful flowers. The kitchen suggests ordering about three dishes per person, which suits sharing.
