Discover the fascinating role of Indonesian food in Dutch culture
Do you want to give your dinner companions the chance to experience delicious Dutch and Indonesian cuisine at various locations? Are you looking for an interesting alternative to a night out at a single restaurant in Amsterdam? Then an Indonesian Rice Table Private Tour might be the right choice for you.
On this tour, you will have a full dinner in three stages. The tour is designed in such a way that you first get to enjoy traditional Dutch snacks in typically Dutch establishments, after which you go to an authentic Indonesian restaurant to experience the unique rijsttafel (rice table). Do not let the name deceive you – there’s much more to this experience than just rice!
Throughout the Indonesian Walking Dinner Private Tour, your guide will be there to answer questions about the food and the city and to ensure that you have the best possible culinary experience in Amsterdam.
Why go for Indonesian food in Amsterdam?
Indonesia was a Dutch colony for over 340 years, and therefore the food plays a huge role in Dutch cuisine and culture. By choosing to experience the Indonesian food in the city, you learn about another aspect of Amsterdam. You also get to enjoy some of the tastiest food in the city.
The rijsttafel, for example, which you will be served on this tour, is a collection of various Indonesian dishes (including meats, fish, vegetables) that are served with rice and other sides. It is a very festive meal that is highly suitable for large groups with different tastes and dietary requirements.

The tour was really good and amazing food, especially as I have quite a few intolerances. The company was really good in providing history with the food. Thijs was very accommodating and our tour guide was brilliant. Thanks guys!
We had a wonderful time with Thijs. All the food stops were excellent and Thijs was extremely informative and friendly. It was not only a food tour, but a tour of different areas of Amsterdam with great background information. Would highly recommend. It’s a no brainer.
Highly recommend this tour, Bo was a fantastic tour guide. The history, shops and food were incredible. We did this on a rainy day and loved every minute of the tour.
Catherina was fantastic. She was funny, engaging, and entertaining. It was a good mix of food, culture, and history and it was perfect. It was Hazella!
Our guide Mark was excellent. His deep knowledge of the history of Holland and Amsterdam in particular was top notch. Sharing his knowledge of Amsterdam from its early days of it being a commercial power in merchant trade and how this influenced the cuisine and culture of Amsterdam to this day. We visited small shops with expertise in traditional local foods. From apple pie made with apples only found in Amsterdam to an excellent cheese shop whose cheese master recently was awarded the world gold medal. I cannot more highly recommend this tour if you are both a foodie and history buff as me 🙂
My wife and I had a great time on this food tour. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the area, and we tasted a variety of delicious foods. Catharina was a fantastic tour guide, very personable, and a true local, as evidenced by the various passers-by greeting her as we walked around Jordaan. I highly recommend this tour!
Marc was a fantastic guide! Knowledgeable, funny, and warm. We stopped at very “off the beaten path” stops that gave us a real sense for the different tastes of Amsterdam, as well as a better understanding of its history.
Excellent! First trip to Amsterdam? This is a must do on your list. Second visit to Amsterdam? Ok, you didn’t have time or didn’t know about it on you first visit. Do not pass this by. By far one of the most pleasant tours. Superior tour guides with award winning personalities blending local knowledge with some basic history of Amsterdam create a cohesive food trail that all comes together as a delightful little feast. Thank you Katrina and Thijs. Ok…. Stop reading …..Book it NOW! 😊👍
Enjoyed this tour, travelling solo it was an opportunity to taste local food, gain an insight into local culture and help find my way around. Tony’s Chocolonely shop was fun.
We loved this tour so much. We came as a family of three including a young teenager and it was wonderful for all of us. Thijs, the founder, was our guide, and he was delightful. So friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, and the discussion of history and local information was always interesting. I highly recommend Amsterdam Food Tours!
