This concept is reinforced by the stylish yet simple decor that puts the focus on the food and wine. The restaurant primarily serves multi-course dinners where each course tells a story about the season and the origin of the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-79461\" title=\"kaagman-kortekaas-french-restaurant-amsterdam_4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-600x270.jpg\" alt=\"kaagman-kortekaas-french-restaurant-amsterdam_4\" width=\"600\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-600x270.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-1536x691.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-400x180.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4-500x225.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamnow.com\/app\/uploads\/kaagman-kortekaas-frans-restaurant-amsterdam_4.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to \u00e0-la-carte meals, Kaagman &amp; Kortekaas also offers delivery and take-out menus, including a 3-course menu, charcuterie with sausages and a wine store with carefully selected bottles.
