Enjoy in simplicity
Honest, pure and fresh.
Within the city canals of Leeuwarden, the capital of the beautiful province of Friesland, you will find Bistro Aragosta. Here you can sit down in a relaxed, stylish ambiance and enjoy delicious dishes that are characteristic of the bistro kitchen; honest, pure and fresh.
French cuisine reigns supreme here with delightful excursions to Italy. A bistro like you might find in Paris, New York or Florence.
Lunch is available on Friday and Saturday, and dinner is available from Wednesday to Saturday.
( Please note: We are currently on a short holiday but will be back at your service from September 6th. See you soon!)
"Passion for the kitchen"
Wouter Brandsema
Bistro Aragosta is the restaurant of patron cuisinier Wouter Brandsema. Shortly after his training, Wouter started working with Jan Gerard van der Wal. From 2016 as sous-chef at Le Petit Bistro in Sneek and from 2021 as patron cuisinier of Bistro Aragosta in Leeuwarden. Wouter turned out to be a driven young man who has further developed his culinary and business talents.
Together they have managed to direct Bistro Aragosta to the highest level in Leeuwarden in no time. Since the opening, the restaurant has been sold out almost every night and major culinary events have been organized, such as the rosé event June 2022, the Frysk Gala in November 2022 and the Fête du Champagne in March 2023.

Passie voor de keuken
Patron cuisinier wouter brandsema
Bistro Aragosta is een restaurant van patron cuisinier Wouter Brandsema. Kort na zijn opleiding is Wouter gaan samenwerken met Jan Gerard van der Wal. Vanaf 2016 als sous-chef in Le Petit Bistro in Sneek en vanaf 2021 als patron cuisinier van Bistro Aragosta in Leeuwarden. Wouter bleek een gedreven jongeman die zijn culinaire en zakelijk talenten verder heeft ontwikkelt, mede vanwege de ruime gastronomische ervaring van Jan Gerard.
Samen hebben ze Bistro Aragosta in no time tot het hoogste niveau in Leeuwarden weten te dirigeren. Vanaf de opening is het restaurant bijna elke avond uitverkocht en zijn er grootse culinaire evenementen georganiseerd, zoals het rosé event juni 2022, het Frysk Gala in november 2022 en het Fête du Champagne in maart 2023. In april 2023 heeft Jan Gerard Bistro Aragosta vol vertrouwen overgedragen aan Wouter.
