Upon entering the CousCous Club in Amsterdam, guests are immediately welcomed into an atmosphere radiating warmth and conviviality. The owner's greeting, paired with the cheerful strains of traditional, vibrant music, sets a lively yet comforting tone for the evening.
Efficiency is key in this establishment – a trait our group greatly appreciated, given our subsequent meeting. The staff's ability to provide prompt service without compromising the quality of our dining experience was commendable.
The menu at CousCous Club is a focused affair, offering a trio of choices centered around its namesake dish: vegan couscous, traditional meat couscous, and a meat-enhanced variant. The vegan couscous, my choice for the evening, was a revelation. Laden with an array of fresh vegetables, it delivered a symphony of crisp textures and deep, harmonious flavors, fully embodying the essence of what one would expect from a couscous-centric restaurant.
Our meal culminated with a complimentary tarte tatin, a dessert so masterfully executed it whimsically suggested a rebranding of the establishment to "TarteTatin Club". With an average price of €28 per person, including wine (though I opted for the delightfully refreshing mint-infused water), the value proposition was evident.
The decor of CousCous Club is charming in its simplicity, creating an inviting and cheerful atmosphere. The interior, while unassuming, complements the attentive and vivacious service, contributing to the restaurant's overall appeal. This setting offers a unique charm suitable for various dining scenarios, from solo visits to family or group outings. It exudes a casual romance, though it may not align with those seeking an overtly romantic ambiance.
In conclusion, CousCous Club in Amsterdam is a gem, offering a delightful, straightforward cuisine in a setting that feels both welcoming and spirited. It is a recommendation I extend with enthusiasm to anyone in the city, be it for a solo meal, a family gathering, or a casual yet intimate dinner. This establishment stands as a shining example of the beauty inherent in simplicity, served with a warmth that is both rare...
Read moreLived in the neighbourhood for years and noticed this restaurant while walking by but never actually tried it. What I can tell you, except, that I should have gonne sooner!
It is all you can imagine it would be while peering into the window. It is quaint, sweet, and charming, with attentive service, and that is just talking about the atmosphere and the staff!
The couscous is done perfectly. Not too dry or wet! And depending on a meat fish or vegeterian one, it is scrumptious! All they serve is couscous dishes, so, clearly they've got it down to perfection.
And an absolute must it their pastry desert! It is light and tasty! A...

Simple menu that is very well executed, clean and nourishing. It is one of those meals you could eat every day.
The service was phenomenal not being fussed that a toddler was at dinner, but rather making him feel so special with a cous cous meal that he loved.
This restaurant is a total gem that I hope gets the continued...
