Tempo Doeloe, Amsterdam

Tempo Doeloe is an Indonesian restaurant. The Dutch history with Indonesia goes back to the days when the country was one of many Dutch colonies. Just like the U.S. does with Chinese and Mexican food, the Dutch have added their own twists on Indonesian food. The rijsttafel (rice table) is the most popular Indonesian meal and consists of a large bowl of rice, with up to 30 small dishes. A rijsttafel is more of an experience than a meal and one that we certainly recommend trying while you’re in Amsterdam. Depending on the size of the meal you order, expect to spend as long as three hours dining on the various dishes. The cheapest rijsttafel starts at €30 (per person), and more extensive ones can easily reach €50.
