Indonesian in Utrecht
Fortunately, you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen for a good rijsttafel, because at these restaurants in Utrecht you can simply sit down for the tastiest Indonesian dishes.
Restaurant Blauw
This restaurant has been at the top of the list of Indonesian restaurants in the Netherlands for years. Blauw is not a toko, but a stylish establishment with passionate service (there is even a wine expert on staff). Blauw’s rijsttafel is well known throughout Utrecht and the surrounding area. Another nice touch: there is a vegetarian option.

Toko Mitra
Actually, Mitra is simply the best toko in Utrecht. The large counter filled with dishes, snacks and sweets makes choosing difficult. Fortunately, there is a clear menu, and the staff are happy to help too. Put together your own meal and take a seat in the spacious dining area, or leave with a bag full of containers to enjoy at home.
