The delicious details
CousCous Club is a single-concept restaurant on Ceintuurbaan, next to the Rialto cinema. Owner Wouter Apituley opened the kitchen to fill a gap in Amsterdam's dining landscape: a dedicated couscous restaurant. The menu offers just three dishes, all built on the same foundation of hand-steamed couscous and seven steamed vegetables.
The space feels like a Parisian living room, with chandeliers, baroque wallpaper and candlelight, accompanied by French chansons and Argentine tango. Behind the kitchen, a greenhouse (the CousCous Kas) supplies fresh herbs and vegetables directly to the plate.
Everything is steamed. There is no microwave and no deep fryer in the kitchen, keeping both the food and the energy footprint light.
