About

In November 2023, Bistro Francis opened its doors and quickly gained the hearts of many in the area. Led by chef Paul Keijdener, the bistro evokes fond memories of the days when his father ran the renowned Chez Paul just a mile away. With a grandmother as the first female celebrity chef and a childhood steeped in gastronomy, passion for cooking was in Paul's genes from an early age.

Within months of opening, he was garnering praise for his culinary talent, particularly his sauces, which, according to De Limburger, are “sauces to love.” The success of Bistro Francis crowns the French concept, where craftsmanship and accessibility go hand in hand. Here it's all about enjoyment without fuss, with dishes that are as refined as they are inviting. An asset to Valkenburg and an ode to the rich culinary tradition of the Keijdener family.
