Restaurant Blauw

Amsterdam


The New York Times voted Blauw the 'best Indonesian restaurant in the Netherlands' and legions agree. The rijsttafel (Indonesian banquet) is a feast with a choice of meat and veg, seafood and veg, or veg only; otherwise you can opt for à la carte. Menu standouts include ikan kembung (mackerel with candlenut sauce) and gulai domba (braised lamb with coconut curry and cinnamon). Reserve ahead.
