Nordic restraint meets the lively energy of Jakarta’s kopitiams, right in the heart of De Pijp. Warm wood and a deep-red tiled bar, topped with a sculptural LED ribbon, open straight onto the bustling kitchen. Here, Swedish chef Ellinor Strinnholm cooks Indo-inspired dishes, reimagined with a gentle lagom touch. Think oysters crowned with tangy sambal matah. Or kaya toast on thick sourdough served on mismatched vintage plates. Open for brunch and dinner, the bistro hosts an annual Midsommar celebration featuring collaborations with young artists. 

We all know that sharing is caring, but Mana Mana lives by the mantra. Their delicious Middle Eastern comfort food is made for ripping, dipping, spooning and sharing.

If you ever tire of Dutch food (mais, non!), fine-tuned, seriously delicious French cuisine is in order. But where to get such food? Auberge. The newest restaurant in Richard van Oostenbrugge and Thomas Groot’s portfolio, Auberge takes what’s already good—French food—and makes it even better. Ford the streams of tourists on the Albert Cuyp in search of some of the best French food in town. It’s worth it!
