Wine Bars With Small Plates in Amsterdam
La Dilettante's anchovy toast is as talked-about as its wine list, and De Nada pairs an organic wine list with Spanish-inspired small plates at its riverside spot in the Rivierenbuurt. Bar Babar, a candlelit corner of Paris on Utrechtsestraat, and Fabus, which pairs bottles with a resident chef's cooking, both treat the food as a real program rather than an afterthought to the wine.
