Eat or Learn to Cook authentic Indo-Dutch Cuisine!
Indonesian flavours are deeply embedded in the Dutch food culture. The Dutch use Ketjap Manis and Sambal like the English use mustard and Worcestershiresauce.
Most Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands also offer Indonesian dishes. Not like those cooked in Indonesia. Instead, they are living proof of the Dutch wholeheartedly embracing the cuisine of their historic colonies and making it their own.
The “Rijsttafel” is the quintessential Indo-Dutch Culinary Experience. A banquet of different dishes, the heady smells and exotic flavours beguiling you, so you won’t even know where to start.
You can now enjoy a unique Bespoke Rijsttafel Experience in your home or self-catering holiday accommodation.
Or book a Cooking Class to learn all about the Indo-Dutch cuisine, its traditions, ingredients and recipes.
