The interior of this large and spacious Indonesian restaurant is a serene take on Jugendstil (a sort of Austrian Art Nouveau). Although you can order à la carte, the menu is based on three different rijsttafel (rice tables), with an abundance of meat, fish, and vegetable dishes varying in flavor from coconut-milk sweet to distressingly spicy (tip: the sweet and light local witbier beer is an excellent antidote). Groups often come here to line their bellies before a night of drinking in the bars around the nearby Spui and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. You can also opt to hit the counter at the adjacent Kantjil To Go (Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 352, open noon-9 daily) for cheap boxes of noodley goodness.
