Blue Pepper

Despite its rather unlikely location along a residential stretch, just a short stroll from the Leidseplein, this modern white-linen Indonesian restaurant is coveted by foodies and food critics alike. Its chef creates sublime contemporary dishes with a distinct West Javanese/Bandung accent, peppered with Chinese and Filipino influences, not to mention an entirely unique 'rijstafel' (rice table). An impressive wine list and rare teas complete the experience.
