Reviews
Dinner at Blue Pepper was incredible—the food and service were flawless. The absolute highlight was their new Lichi Lips dessert. It came with an electric sensational flower that you eat first; it creates a wild, tingling lightning-bolt sensation in your mouth that perfectly sets up the flavors of the dessert. A must-try culinary surprise in Amsterdam!
We were looking for traditional Indonesian cuisine on our recent trip to Amsterdam and found Blue Pepper. We didn’t have a reservation but they greeted us with warm, friendly smiles and luckily had one table for 2 available. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive, the presentation was beautiful and the flavors were divine! The atmosphere was warm and cozy, a welcome reprieve from the cold bluster going on outside! Despite being quite full, they talked us into the lychee ice cream and I’m so glad they did, what a treat! The Szechuan berries were a fun surprise! The whole meal was a perfect experience, we will definitely be back on our next trip to Amsterdam! Don’t miss it!
Very nice small restaurant with Indonesian food. Food freshly prepared and very tasty. Wine pairing offer - very good. Friendly staff. Good choice for trying Rijstafel in Amsterdam
We had an amazing experience on the Blue Pepper Dinner Cruise! Everything was top-notch from start to finish. The food was absolutely fantastic – truly delicious and beautifully presented. The boat ride itself was wonderful, with breathtaking views of Amsterdam from the water. Such a special way to see the city! A big thank you as well for the smooth and uncomplicated organization – everything was perfectly arranged. Highly recommended – we would definitely do it again!
I planned a corporate team dinner for 17 people inside of their main restaurant, and everything was fantastic. The event team was very responsive and accommodated several dietary restrictions in the group. The food was incredible, and the staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend for your next event!
