our menu

The food at Papote is designed to be savoured and shared.

Our menu is seasonal, meaning we let the time of year guide what’s on the plate. We follow a zero-waste philosophy, using ingredients across multiple dishes and reworking them thoughtfully to avoid unnecessary waste.

The flavours draw on our Anglo-French roots, balancing nourishment with gourmanderie: comforting, generous food that still feels special.

We’ve developed the menu alongside a child nutritionist to ensure there are safe, age-appropriate options for all stages of childhood, without ever compromising on taste.

What's on

We will trial a few creative and food related workshops in February and beyond.

Our Story

Papote was born out of early motherhood, and the identity shift that comes with it.

Papote was born out of early motherhood, and the identity shift that comes with it.

As a non native Dutch person, and the first in my friendship group to have a baby, I felt deeply isolated. I loved Amsterdam, but suddenly struggled to find places where both my child and I felt truly welcome.

De Baarsjes is full of great cafés and spaces- just not many that are both genuinely child-friendly and adult-friendly.

Every outing felt like a compromise: either loud, overstimulating places with oily fries, or beautiful adult spaces where bringing a baby felt inconvenient.

I kept thinking:
why should either of us have to compromise?

That question planted the first seeds of Papote.

I left my corporate job to build the space I wished existed for myself, my daughter, and for families navigating the early years of parenthood.

A place where food and play live together seamlessly. Where parents feel seen and thought of. Where children are welcomed as they are.

Papote is, above all, about people.

A space to gather, to pause and to enjoy life together, at every age.
