    The menu at the Kantjil is hard to follow, but well worth the few minutes it takes just trying to work it out!

    The waiting staff will explain if necessary, but it is actually more fun to do it yourself. It gets the tastebuds going just reading their descriptions!

    There is a great lively feel to this place - staff are fun and the ambience of the whole place makes for a great evening! Great amateur portraits/paintings on the wall too!

    We had the set meal called Batavia. It was more than enough for 2! The wine was a reasonable price too.

    I have a very little exposure to Indonesian food to say that this resto is the best. But, I must say I am very satisfied (and full) with the food which by the way was pre-ordered by our VT Meeting organizer, Martin. We also have Dutch people in our crew that night who vouched for this restaurant's excellent food... I trust their judgement.

    Each paid 30-35 euros which is not bad considering the amount of food that we chowed down.

    I have to ask Martin!

    You haven't lived until you have had an Indonesian rice table (rijstaffel) in Amsterdam.

    I had a good one for a decent price here at Kantjil en de Tijger. Delicious.

    An Amsterdam specialty, and one of the best meals to be had on the planet.

    The rice table I had at Kantjil en de Tijger, a large, 10+ dish combination of seafood and meat rijstafel on yellow saffron rice was excellent.

    Noisy, busy, crowded, and great food.

    Very nicely done Indonesian restaurant, with quick and efficient service... a little unusual for most Dutch restaurants I've been to...
    The "rijstaffel" is an Indonesian dish, and is excellent here. You really couldn't go wrong with any selection off the menu. For two people, a small rijstaffel will be plenty...

    *Update... on the trip last week, we grabbed a table after a short wait on a Friday evening at 7:00PM, and immediately ordered the rijstaffel, and we were out in 45 minutes!

    I applaud the staff at Kantjil!

    I've only had the rikjstaffel, but it was as excellent as the recommendation. For two people, a small order has rice along with 8 different dishes of beef, chicken, vegetable and seafood. They bring the dishes out and build the table around the rice... hence the name, "rijstaffel."

    For two, about E45, E55 with 4 beers.

    This is actually a restaurant but I've only dined here once and the food is not so good. It speacilises in Indonesian fusion type of food. I am an Asian and I don't quite like the taste that much because I reckon that they've changed the ingredients to suit the Europeans.

    However, the lunch is good. I really like their noodle (chow mein) that comes in a box. You have a choice of fried rice or noodles. Then you can pick curry, sambal and another dish. All this is really cheap, delicious and cute cos you always see Americans eating Chinese food in those boxes but you don't get them in Europe but now you do in Amsterdam.

    The Netherlands is known for its great Indonesian restaurants.

    Kantjil en de Tijger is a very popular restaurant, but there are many more.

    Kantjil en de Tijger Restaurant
    Authentic Indonesian food is considered one of the best in Holland. It can be a bit of a tourist trap at weekends but still not to be missed!

    You must have a rijstafel (ricetable). Don't eat anything else during the day though!!

    Kantjil en de Tijger
    Indonesian Restaurant
    Dutch colonial without being opulent, relaxed atmosphere,beautifull lamps and stained glass.
    If you order a rice table for two people make sure that you are either very hungry,with more than two people or a gluton,

  • I had been looking forward to a rijsttafel for many years and I do understand that Kantjil en de Tijger is a lower-end version, but I was seriously underwhelmed.
    Compared to the Asian food I've eaten in the US [Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Cambodian] this food was fairly bland and many dishes tasted alike. The service was slow and not particularly helpful. Again I realize it isn't a gourmet place, but it left me wondering what is so wonderful about a rijsttafel.

  • In Amsterdam is a must to eat in a indonesian restaurant. There are many and usually you can order items "à la carte" or order a Rijstaffel (a combination of dishes).

    Rijstaffel: it's a combination of dishes. Fish, meat, rice, ... . Our table was full of food and it was really hard to eat everything.
