Blue Pepper Restaurant and Candlelight Dinner Cruises Amsterdam
(since 2002)
The flavours of Indonesian Haute Cuisine based on fresh herbs & spices with vegan friendly alternatives.
A Royal Indonesian Feast
Indonesian Restaurant Blue Pepper
Blue Pepper brings back to life what a Royal Indonesian Feast tasted like. Our rice table (rijsttafel) takes you from mellow hints of spice to wickedly complex, rich dishes where spices remain centre-stage but using them properly is revealed as an art form.
Our Rijsttafel / Rice Table, consisting of lovingly curated Indonesian classics as well as modern creations is a feast of fish and seafood, poultry and game, meat and vegetables, pickles and sweets.
Vegan with a twist
Pan-Asian Vegan
Our vegan menu is extensive, consisting of elaborate and innovative twists on pan-Asian vegan traditions.
At Blue Pepper there’s no place for faux meat, fake sushi, or huge bowls of raw green stuff that make you feel the way cows feel. All laboriously cooked to perfection.
