Roux sits on Westerstraat in the Jordaan and presents itself as sophisticated bistronomy. The cuisine is strongly French oriented, but with a clear focus on local, seasonal ingredients. Their menu changes regularly and counts classic dishes like oysters, fish, charcuterie, escargots and delicate creations like brioche with jamón Iberico.
What sets In Roux apart is the cross-pollination between cuisine and wine. The wine list is certified and carefully curated - the establishment figures on the Star Wine List with a "White Star." With that, Roux aims to serve not only fine food, but also wines that carry the story.
The atmosphere is relaxed without letting go that you are in a serious restaurant. Long dining, listening to staff recommendations, making choices with consideration - that kind of experience. It's not big bloated, but solid and integer: the bar in the middle, subtle lighting, a space that leaves room, not excess.
"Roux shows that finesse is not in show, but in understated flavors that stay behind in your memory."
Guests range from couples celebrating to connoisseurs looking for dish & drink combinations. Reviews especially praise the balance: flavor innovation versus familiar elegance.
When you dine at Roux, you not only taste the dish, but also the thought behind it. Here, the team speaks from ambition: not to amaze, but to impress with precision and taste awareness.
