Arles is a modern bistro located in a quiet side street of the Amsterdamse Pijp, just around the corner from here. Just like in the Parisian 'bistronomy' scene, you will find creative dishes in an accessible and artistic environment.
Numa Muller, their chef from Arles, creates a new 4 and 5 course chef's menu every month (à la carte is also possible). His neo-bistro dishes are surprising because of the special combinations of French cuisine with outside influences.
The restaurant has held a Michelin Bib-Gourmand since 2018.

To remember one of the most underexposed parts of our history. And to celebrate Keti Koti - chains broken - the official end of slavery within the Dutch Kingdom in 1863. Although It took another 10 years before enslaved people were free to do what and to go were they wanted.
