Le Petit Chef Rijswijk: in the French style and also with a twist

Le Petit Chef Rijswijk is a charming – looking French bistro. It is located in the beautiful old town Rijswijk on the corner of Kerklaan and Emmastraat. The street makes me feel as though i am in Paris, and the bistro fits in perfectly. The French ambiance truly radiates from here. Read more.

Le Petit Chef, a delicious combination of wine and food

You can visit the bistro Le Petit Chef for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What i really like is that the staff walks around in cute shirts with a croissant on the back. You naturally associate the croissant with France, and the bistro is perfectly suited for a delicious croissant with a cup of coffee or tea. Whether you go for lunch or dinner, the bistro serves classic French dishes as well as with a twist. The Chef draws inspiration with other cuisines. It is an unique and creative interpretation, which can lead to surprising flavors and unusual combination.

For those who enjoy vegetarian food, there are also delicious options to choose from. I had the opportunity to try a number of dishes from the menu. These are ideal for sharing with a dining companion, a romantic partner, or even with a group of people. Characteristic of these dishes are the rich base of butter and cream, the use of fresh herbs, and the perfect harmony between wine and food.If you are wondering which wine pairs well with which dish, the staff can provide sound advice. As well as the desserts, the dishes are beautifully presented and tasteful.

What I do like less is that the desserts (Tarte Tatin and Dessert Aux Figues) are too sweet. If the desserts were just sweet enough, it would be perfect for me. But here, too, tastes differ, of course. What is too sweet for me might be just right for someone else. Apart from the desserts, it was still a successful evening for me and my dining companion.
