Discover the Finest Indonesian Restaurant in Amsterdam

At Blue Pepper, we bring the best of Indonesian food to your plate. Known for being the best Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam that serves an Indonesian Rijsttafel in a fine dining style. You can forget about fifteen pre-cooked dishes all arriving at once within ten minutes of ordering. Because we will serve our signature Rijsttafel in four courses, taking the time to freshly cook each dish to perfection. While you sit back at our plush, art gallery-like dining room and, enjoy from our vast selection of fine wines, craft beers, and one-of-a-kind cocktails.

Our menu is also surprisingly different. At Blue Pepper, we boldly experiment with the use of authentic Indonesian spices combined with locally sourced Dutch ingredients, creating a unique fusion that sets us apart from other restaurants. Our ‘progressive’ Indonesian cuisine sits side by side with traditional classics.

Signature Dishes You Must Try at Blue Pepper

Our menu offers a delightful blend of traditional Indonesian dishes, each prepared with meticulous attention to detail. Some of our must-try dishes include:

  • Indonesian Slow-Cooked Beef Rendang: A rich and hearty dish made with tender beef, slow-cooked in aromatic spices.
  • Sumatran Style Spicy Prawns: Perfectly grilled prawns with a burst of Sumatra’s iconic spice blends.
  • Indonesian Rijsttafel: A culinary feast that features a variety of small dishes, showcasing the best flavors of Indonesia. This is the highlight of our menu and a true Indonesian dining experience
  • Balinese Roasted Watermelon: Watermelon slow-roasted Balinese-style, then marinated and grilled to a meat-like texture, a true standout.

We were looking for traditional Indonesian cuisine on our recent trip to Amsterdam and found Blue Pepper. We didn’t have a reservation but they greeted us with warm, friendly smiles and luckily had one table for 2 available. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive, the presentation was beautiful and the flavors were divine! The atmosphere was warm and cozy, a welcome reprieve from the cold bluster going on outside! Despite being quite full, they talked us into the lychee ice cream and I’m so glad they did, what a treat! The Szechuan berries were a fun surprise! The whole meal was a perfect experience, we will definitely be back on our next trip to Amsterdam! Don’t miss it!

Food was splendid. You get to try lots of different things and we liked all of them. Favorite dish was the beef rendang. Even the rice tasted better than other places. Highly recommended!

Excellent Indonesian food and service! Had the satay to start, followed by the sea bass and prawns. The staff made us a lovely 30th anniversary dessert that we enjoyed! Thank you!
