Schout-by-night's concept is framed by thoughtful, no-nonsense hospitality: understated style, seasonal produce and a vintage sound-system that sometimes makes the music almost tangible. Whether you haut a wine at the bar, or dine on the chef's menu - from 16:00 you are welcome for bar bites and from 17:30 the kitchen unofficially opens: à-la-carte or a daily surprise menu, inside, at the bar or - weather permitting - on the cozy terrace.
On the plate? Classic French and Mediterranean dishes with an Amsterdam wink. Pure flavors, no fuss, with subtle references to Dutch roots - just as chef Hessel Blok intended: simple, sharp and flavorful. .
Scout-by-night is more than just food. With a vintage sound system on Friday and Saturday nights, spinning vinyls by selectors, and changing artwork on the walls, this address offers a complete evening experience - from drinks to dinner.
"With simple sophistication and a rotating vinyl system, we create a place where good food is right with music and atmosphere." - Benjamin Kats and Hessel Blok
The decor breathes the neighborhood: understated warmth, natural materials and surprising details - no blaring horns, but a relaxed balance that suits the Jordaan and locals as much as curious guests.
