Blue Pepper

Amsterdam


This is one of Amsterdam's finest gourmet Indonesian restaurants, where Chef Sonja Pereira serves beautifully presented work-of-art Indonesian cuisine in an intimate dining room. The rijsttafel (Indonesian banquet) includes specialities from across the islands, such as wild scallops with saffron, orange, sea greens and macadamia nuts, and wild guinea fowl in a sweet, sour and spicy rudjak sauce.

Vegetarian and vegan rijsttafel menus are also options.
