It is the uniqueness of the experience that has become the hallmark of its reputation, encompassing the quality of the  ingredients, the perfect execution, the sheer multitude of flavours and the quality of the service, all to be enjoyed in a lush colonial setting. Indrapura’s RIJSTTAFEL menu consists an array of Indonesian food creations which evolve, disappear and return in accordance with market availability, The well experienced cooks prepare what inspires them from islands that spread in jewel of Indonesia from time to time, from mother to daughter, a traditional family tradition that has been serenading the country and the historic relation between Indonesia and the country who colonial them for 350 years, Netherlands.

There (for me) is actually one thing you need to order and that's the chef's choice. So we ordered 5 times the chef's choice. It's always a treat to eat here. Ambiance, location and staff - also the food - are great. The menucard is actually very nice to look at, very well done! Also the coolers for their ingredients, how would that look like @ home ... :-)

Has been a while, but finally we're getting somewhere. Kitchen is ordered, the 1st floor is ordered and the front is almost done. Another step ...


Same for the back, all the windows are in, and almost all the 'walls' are done ...
