Description

Spandershoeve has been showcasing traditional Indonesian cuisine since 1972. Anita Boerenkamp was the first chef in the Netherlands to put a sophisticated spin on the famous rijsttafel. Her confident take on the fiery and intricate blend of spices was remarkable. The kitchen team honours her legacy. They know, for example, how to roast goat until it is succulent, how to employ soy sauce to powerful effect, and how to add texture with raw and fried onions. This welcoming neighbourhood restaurant is the perfect introduction to Indonesian generosity and hospitality.

Review summary

Spandershoeve, an Indonesian restaurant in Hilversum, receives mixed reviews. Food quality is polarizing: while many praise the authentic rice tables and flavorful goat satay, others report dry meat, bland tastes, or uneven heating. Service is generally positive, with friendly staff accommodating allergies, though some note pacing issues. The ambiance suits families, with pleasant outdoor seating, but noise levels can rise during celebrations. Value perception varies significantly; some find it worthwhile, while others consider the prices high relative to the experience.
