It is undoubtedly one of the best Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands, never mind Amsterdam. The rijst-tafel speciality is excellent but be warned - the dishes go up in stages from the very mild to the tongue-meltingly hot - not for everyone! I have seen bad reviews of this place - mostly because of bad service, but I've never had a problem here.close

   Great little pub like restaurant with super friendly staff and cheap tasty food. Portions are large. The place is tiny but somehow they fit in a lot of people and that creates a really nice atmosphere. Very reasonable prices too. A good place to hang out.

   Good Argentinian steakhouse. Other food options available but the emphasis is on red meat and lots of it. Plenty variety on cuts and prepartion methods. If you like your steak then you'll like this restaurant. Good wine selection as well.

   Even though it's in a touristy-as-hell location, you can still get decent Dutch fare in this restaurant. A lot of mains aren't more than €12.

   This is a chain of deli/sandwich shops in Amsterdam. Good for lunch on the go. There's one at Dam Square which is convenient.

We took a taxi out from the centre as it was quite far out, it was dark and raining though so was hard to get a feel for the area it was in! The restaurant itself is very impressive, one large room with a small bar where you can wait for your table. There are massive chandeliers scattered throughout the room and the kitchen is in full view of everyone with “fifteen” written in graffiti on coloured corrugated iron above it. The back wall of the restaurant also had this coloured corrugated iron, must have been a theme running! The decoration was a mix of old school with the chandeliers and the linen tablecloths etc and contemporary with the corrugated iron and the plastic casing the chandeliers were in. I don’t know if it is the norm but there was a set menu the night we ate there. There was 4 courses with a choice of your 1st and second course. While the food was delicious I found the service to be terrible. We were seated and literally 2 seconds later our appetizer arrived, which contained meat after me asking to see the vegetarian menu (I’m not a vegetarian but wanted a look!) we then had to wait a further 10-15 mins to actually ask for a wine menu and order wine, which usually would be done before any food arrives! After then we had to wait 45 mins for our next course and then a further half an hour (at least) between the other courses. Food was excellent but I won’t be rushing back as the service (or lack of!) put a bit of a dampner on things.close

It was recommended to us by the hotel and we weren’t disappointed! The atmosphere was great with a guy playing good tunes on the piano! The food was great, the beef dish was like a piece of steak chopped up and cooked to perfection! I would steer clear of the desserts but I suppose Indonesian restaurants aren’t well known for their desserts! If your going and like steak I would definitely opt for one of the beef dishes or if you are a fish lover the seafood curry’s are great too.close
