Rijstaffel in Amsterdam?
 

Where is the best place for Rijstaffel in Amsterdam these days?

For rijsttafel, many people like Temp Doeloe in Utrechtsestraat. I like Flamboyant, Amstel 111, but it has been a while since I ate there.

In March we went to Srikandi at Stadhouserskade 31 for Rijstaffel and enjoyed it very much. Very warm atmosphere. Near the Rijksmuseum. www.srikandi.nl.<BR><BR>Karen

All the above suggestions are great. DON'T go to Kantjil en de Tijger. It gets great reviews (even a star from Fodor's!), but it is a sanitized, decorated, overly bright version of an Indonesian restaurant--we thought of it as Indonesian by way of Soho (NYC). Try out a more traditional place for a more authentic meal. We went to Kantjil after several other Indonesian-owned restaurants and were somewhat disappointed. The food wasn't bad, but a lot of it tasted the same, unlike the profusion of flavors at other restaurants we'd tried. Have fun!

I have been to two, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of either and don't have a record of either. One was done as a buffet and we loved being able to pick out the things we wanted (although I'm usually a hater of buffets). The other one was served at our table and was OK, but it seemed like there were some things I wished we had had more of and others I could have done with just a taste. Are the ones mentioned above all served at the table, or are they done as a buffet?
