Badcuyp

Badcuyp has quickly become a favorite in De Pijp, and for good reason. The space feels modern yet welcoming, with that freshly painted vibe that still manages to feel warm thanks to the dark wood and soft lighting. You’ll find yourself drawn to the open kitchen, watching Chef Joep work his magic over the wood-fired grill. The skate wing is a must-order—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Don’t skip the wood-fired vegetables either; they’re surprisingly the star of the show.\n\nThe wine list is where this place really shines. With over 500 options, you’ll find plenty to explore, and the staff are happy to guide you. It’s the kind of spot that fills up fast, so book ahead if you want a table. The terrace is a nice bonus in summer, but honestly, the interior has that cozy energy that makes you want to linger over your meal and a glass or two.\n\nIt’s not perfect—the service can feel a bit rushed when it’s packed, and the prices are on the higher side for the neighborhood. But the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worth it. This is the kind of place you’ll want to return to, whether you’re celebrating something special or just treating yourself to a great night out.
