Established in 2014 and run by the Caron family, Café Caron is a French bistro with a distinct family character. Chef Roel Paping is in the kitchen, preparing both classic French dishes and French-Dutch combinations. The Sunday Roast is a fixture on the menu served every Sunday, with an extra focus on this specialty in February.
The restaurant is located in De Pijp, a lively neighborhood where French culinary traditions meet local Dutch influences. The interior of Café Caron, unadorned but with a warm, homey atmosphere, makes you feel as if you are sitting at the table of a family that takes its hospitality seriously. This ambiance meets the desire of owners Alain, David and Tom Caron to create a place where guests feel welcome and relaxed.
The Sunday Roast is a dish that gets to the heart of that tradition: it is served with care and attention, with flavors that feel familiar yet refined. It is a menu item that has become a fixture not just in the winter months, but throughout the year, especially in February, when it is given extra attention.

During the pandemic, Café Caron expanded its offerings to include Petit Caron and Cantine de Caron, allowing the family concept to continue even under restrictive circumstances. The combination of honest French food, a welcoming atmosphere and the commitment of an experienced family make Sunday Roast an experience that is not only about food, but also about perception.
