Indisch Spandershoeve BV - Hilversum

Ditto Michael C. As he suggested, and despite the 3.5 hour duration (would 've been longer had we not asked to order and later for the check), we do owe him one. By 'we ' I mean my immediate family, plus the collective Yelp community. Rijsttafel just bumped Korean BBQ off its 30-year perch at the top of my list. Thanks for the thorough and accurate review, Michael.

If you like indonesian food and you need some benchmarks.. Try Spandershoeve. I have been a regular guest for 2 years now... And i havent been disapointed once. To me its one of the best indo restaurants in the country. They team is great and friendly and each dish has its own personality and flavor opposite to so many indon restaurants where all dishes sort of taste the same . Try the menu.. Or order rijsttafel.. To have the best experience. Spandershoeve is worth a 1 hour drive : the prices are 100% fair and you getmore then what you pay for.

Being born and raised in former Dutch East Indies I think I know something about Rijsttafel . This is the best Indonesian restaurant I know. Service is great and food is great in a great ambiance.

Stumbled upon this place by accident with totally zero regrets. Apparently it's quite famous since you need to make a reservation approx.. 3 days in advance! Nevertheless they allowed us to quickly eat something before the place was full. We got 1.5 hours since our spot was actually reserved. Man, that food is great. No wonder they are in the Michelin Guide! We really enjoyed everything we've tried and come back another time to eat more (careful, they actually serve A LOT). If you are into Indo food, do not hesitate to go to this family owned restaurant, I repeat; do not hesitate to go. Amen.

Great indonesian food in a nice atmosphere! We ate here 3 times while living in the Netherlands for several months and had a great experience each time. It's hidden away in an upscale neighborhood (we discovered it as we were staying nearby) but well worth the visit. Great service and the food is delicious. So fun how they serve the food over little candles to keep it warm. Lots of little dishes and flavors to enjoy. I have to avoid gluten (which sucks) and we eat vegetarian but they accomodated us, no problem. Had a wonderful chat with one of the owners/managers! Even my 16 year old nephew loved it! When we return to the NL we will be sure to visit again! Not cheap but worth a visit at least once.
