I also tasted the spicy meat egg rolls and shrimp tempura which were all delicious. They had a nice sweet and spicy chilli sauce to dip everything in and it was really good, although service was slow, which I suppose is expected in Europe by now no? The food was great and for the price, very inexpensive. The bread that came with my soup was homemade and seriously one of the best breads I have ever had, let alone at some random pub! I also had this nice beer called Wieckse which is a nice white beer if thats your thing. The atmosphere here is very chill and easy going, good place to go with friends or for a few hours of drinking/eating and talking.

Foodies will adore sitting at the kitchen bar to watch all the action. At night I'm sure it will have a clubby vibe, but during the day has a light filled cafe feel. As someone who's family is from Singapore, I'm familiar with most all of the dishes. So happy they have picked up on a lot of the local flavor and dishes (murtabak!) But they are definitely their own take. The dishes benefit from professional cookery skills and presentation. Spice levels are scaled, but the flavors are all there and all authentic. I sat at the kitchen bar and chatted up the chef and kitchen, ordered murtabak, sate, and nasi goreng. If you had sate as true street food, you would get a spindly bit of charred-out and stringy meat (ah the memories). Here it is cooked on open charcoal and finished in a convection oven; results in tender bites of chicken and so much more enjoyable. I could be happy just eating the peanut sauce and rice. This food is labor intensive, and I truly appreciate the kitchen staff who put in the work. You have to credit a chef who will source candle nuts for his curry sauce preparations. I challenge you to find a candle nut anywhere in Europe or North America. Happy that they do not overly rely on salt to season. And for the one customer at service who asked for salt, they received a collective, and concealed, eye roll from the kitchen. Bravo. For the nasi goreng, a spiced fried rice, I was surprised they kept the flavor of dried shrimp (or maybe it was ikan bilis). It's an acquired taste, akin to sardines or whiting, and lends a savory umami flavor. Not everyone would like it, so I respect a place that will but it front and center in a rice dish. Then again, for a people whose national dish is raw herring with onions, maybe not so much of a leap. I think it's worth a stop while chef Luke is around.

Ron Gastrobar Downtown was our first real dinner on our recent trip to Amsterdam. My friend is the…read moreone that discovered this restaurant and made the reservations ahead of time, and from the pictures, it looked like a fun place to eat. I was excited. From research, it seems as though Amsterdam is known for having some good Indonesian food, so that was something we made a priority of trying while we were there. Though somewhat pricey, the entertainment, decor, and food here definitely exceeded our expectations. To eat, we had already decided to order the rijsttafel (rice table), which is essentially a variety of small Indonesian dishes. In total, I believe there were about 15 that we were comfortably able to share and enjoy. In addition, we ordered a few street food appetizers, which included the black angus tartare, tacos, and albacore tuna tartare. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the street food appetizers, which were presented very uniquely. While I'm glad we tried the rijsttafel for the authentic experience, there were only a few dishes from it that I really enjoyed. Still, I'd recommend ordering it for the experience. It was pretty cool to try so many Indonesian specialties in one meal. If looking for a fun restaurant to dine at in central Amsterdam, Ron Gastrobar is an option you should heavily consider. The ambiance and atmosphere are unrivaled, and you are bound to have a great time. The live performances are very enjoyable. Service was also very accommodating and friendly, and the drinks were superb. Go ahead and check this place out!
