Dieses Restaurant wurde 1992 eröffnet und wird von Bert und Sara van Buschbach geleitet. Warum das so erwähnenswert ist? Wenn man berücksichtigt, dass Bert seinen Unterhalt damit verdient hat, in den besten Restaurants von Amsterdam zu arbeiten und Sara leibhaftige Önologin (Weinkundlerin) ist, dann wird klar, warum De Compagnon eines der besten französischen Restaurants von Amsterdam ist. Verbunden ist das mit einer angemessenen Preisgestaltung und einer ausführlichen Weinkarte. Das Restaurant sieht sehr gepflegt aus, und die zentrale Lage ist sehr günstig. Die relativ niedrigen Preise locken ein ganz gemischtes Publikum an. Da die 13 Tische auf drei Etagen verteilt sind, wird eine intime Atmosphäre geschaffen. An den Wänden findet man Skizzen, die Ansichten von Amsterdam in verschiedenen Jahrhunderten zeigen. Die hier servierte Küche wird als französisch-burgundisch bezeichnet. Die recht beschränkte Speisekarte wird viermal im Jahr verändert.
