Blauw
Blauw is the place for stylish Indonesian food in Utrecht. Young and old alike enjoy superb rijsttafels (array of spicy dishes served with rice) amid the red decor that mixes vintage art with hip minimalism.

Toko Joyce
Pick and mix a platter of Indonesian- Surinamese food from the glass case; start with spiced yellow rice and add various spicy, coconutty stews. The ‘lunch box’ (you choose noodles or rice, plus two toppings) is good value. To finish, get a wedge of spekkoek, a moist layered gingerbread. It’s all takeaway, but canalside benches beckon a few steps from the door.

Tempo Doeloe
One of the best Indonesian restaurants in the city, Tempo Doeloe’s setting and service are pleasant and decorous without being overdone. The same applies to the rijsttafel: a ridiculously overblown affair at many places, here it’s a fine sampling of the country’s flavours. Warning: dishes marked ‘very hot’ are like napalm.

Café Kadijk
This hip split-level cafe looks like it can serve no more than coffee from its tiny kitchen, but in fact it does quite good Indonesian food. Go for the Eitjes van TanteBea, a spicy mix of egg, shrimp and beans, as well as the rich rendang curry. Thick sandwiches on grain-filled brown bread and saté s round out the menu.

Coffee & Jazz
This tiny eatery, with just a handful of tables and mellow jazz playing in the background, is run by an eccentric Dutchman and his Indonesian wife. She does most of the cooking – except for the house speciality satés, which he prepares. It’s a must for jazz freaks and anyone who loves a snug place with a passionate owner.

Cilubang
In the Negen Straatjes, cute, cosy and slightly romantic, celadon-hued Cilubang soothes the stomach and soul with rijsttafel and attentive, personal service. It’s been at it for 2½ decades. The food is west Javanese, and with any luck you’ll hear gamelan music too.

Bojo
After a night on the town, there’s nothing like a little Indonesian. Bojo is a late-night institution. Clubbers come for sizzling satés, filling fried rice and steaming bowls of noodle soup. The quality may be uneven, but the food is certainly well priced.

Sama Sebo
Another reliable old-timer, this Indonesian restaurant’s got the ambience of a brown cafe. It’s also got a wicked rijsttafel comprising 17 dishes (four to seven at lunch); order individual plates if that’s too much.
