Little Bonfire Amsterdam is quickly becoming an extension of your living room. Not because the interior is relatable (we wish!), but because the atmosphere is so cozy, the food is truly delicious, and the terrace enjoys sunshine almost all day. Count the benefits.

Atmosphere and interior at Little Bonfire Amsterdam

The interior of Little Bonfire Amsterdam was designed by Lisa Boissevain of Investoria, also known for a number of other (handsome!) catering establishments in Amsterdam, including Williams FarmhouseDon't think Bonfire is a copy; quite the opposite. At Bonfire, you'll feel like you're in the living room of a chic art collector with a somewhat eclectic taste. Think: a warm color palette, lots of natural elements, and even more art on the walls.

An added bonus: the long bar at the back of the restaurant is right next to the kitchen. If you sit there, the chefs will serve your dishes directly to you.

Menu and dishes at Little Bonfire

Bonfire's menu offers a good selection of classic dishes and equally good matching wines. Our favorites? Too many to list, so we recommend sharing some dishes with the table. We dined on a selection of snacks and bites, including pan con tomate with anchovies (a fantastic combination!), stracciatella with zucchini and peas, a green salad, crispy eggplant, and sea bass with clams. After these dishes, we were so full that the Basque cheesecake unfortunately didn't fit in, but according to our neighbors on the terrace, it's a must-try for a future visit.

That next visit will definitely come, because a wonderful, relaxing evening on the terrace at Little Bonfire simply leaves you wanting more.

Endless chats with your best friends on the patio, a dinner date (great at the bar), or a meal with family? Any occasion is a good excuse to visit Bonfire. And what's even better: you can make reservations for the patio.
