Blue Pepper Restaurant and Candlelight Cruises

We had a fantastic experience at Blue Pepper restaurant during our recent trip to Amsterdam. The team very kindly accommodated our dietary preferences. As someone who enjoys flavorful, spicy food, I can confirm that every dish exceeded my expectations. The price was also very reasonable for two people including drinks. I would highly recommend.

My husband and I came here on a friend's recommendation and loved it! We got the "Sultan and I" rijsttafel, and it was fantastic. 4 courses to try- all small to medium portions. We left very full but so happy. Great meal! The restaurant staff were also all lovely and so kind and helpful. They explained each dish as it came out. Can't wait to return on our next trip!

We went here on a friend’s recommendation, and it was absolutely smashing! Definitely the best meal we had in Amsterdam, and that’s actually very high praise! Meant to be Indonesian cuisine, it’s more like an eclectic mix of Asian cuisines that is perfectly executed and presented. We chose the pre-set menu which was perfect for 2 people. The duck, minced lamb, and the sorbet dessert were simply outstanding! Service was friendly and top notch. These folks genuinely love what they do, and it comes across in their attitude, food presentation, and taste. Loved it - and would highly highly recommend this restaurant! PS - if the restaurant staff is reading this, can you pls tell us the name of the fruit you use in top of your sorbet? That was truly a unique item to try! Thank you

Best Indonesian food I’ve ever had, served by extremely nice staff, in an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. Everything was cooked perfectly, the spices well balanced to make delicious dishes, both vegan/vegetarian and with meat. The wines were also very good, and don’t miss out on the dessert! We had a wonderful evening.

Our company has now been here on two different occasions — one for dinner only and another for dinner with the cruise — and both experiences were fantastic! Three different teams from our company have visited, and everyone came back with the same feedback: the service was a pleasure, the staff were incredibly attentive, and the food was consistently excellent. The dinner alone was already a great experience, but adding the cruise made the evening even more special and memorable. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, allowing us to enjoy time together as a team without worrying about a thing. It’s rare to find a place that delivers such quality and consistency, no matter the occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing food, excellent service, and an unforgettable group experience. I would for sure visit the Blue Pepper privately as well!

If you are ever in Amsterdam, you must experience Indonesian cuisine at the Blue Pepper restaurant. Chef Avijit and the staff at Blue Pepper provided an excellent dining experience for my husband’s 60th birthday celebration in Amsterdam. Initially, since we were traveling with a group from New York on our first trip to Amsterdam, we did not know exactly how to organize the birthday dinner on board Blue Pepper’s dinner cruise. However, from the start of our email communications, I found Chef Avijit to be immensely helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns. He offered several menu options and provided additional details and suggestions that gave me great comfort in selecting Blue Pepper for our very special occasion. He even arranged for a celebratory birthday cake. When we arrived at the boat, we were greeted by the chef and his delightful staff who provided us with glasses of champagne and added reassurance that we would be well taken care of. It is truly an understatement to say that the dining experience was beyond excellent! Each course of the meal was superb and we enjoyed eating some cuisine that we had never previously tried. Every course was perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious! Each member of our group could not stop talking about the food and the service, which were impeccable. Because of our extremely positive dining experience, I would highly recommend the Blue Pepper.

We enjoyed an extraordinary dinner cruise with a modern Imdonesian Rijsttafel during a business trip. It was the highlight of the trip with delicious food, professionel service, and special atmosphere. Avijit and his team made it unforgettable for us, and thus, all of us would highly recommend the Blue Pepper!

The cruise was flawless — beautifully organized with an outstanding dinner that exceeded our expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully tailored to our needs, making our private company dinner truly special. A heartfelt thank you to Avijit and the entire team for making it such a memorable evening!
