Aragosta Bistro
Bistro Aragosta
A Bib Gourmand French bistro on Voorstreek in the old town, known for its lobster menu and classic French cooking.
A classic bistro with closely spaced tables, a relaxed atmosphere, warm service and an excellent wine list. Chef Wouter prepares classic French dishes with some Italian influences, and the surprise menu adds a more modern touch. Diners can choose the surprise menu, the lobster menu or à la carte. The Michelin Guide praises it as a model of value, and it still holds a Bib Gourmand in 2026. Located in the city centre within easy walking distance. Booking ahead is recommended on weekends.
