About The Archipelago Eats
The Archipelago Eats is a pioneering directory of Indonesian restaurants outside Indonesia. We document authentic Indonesian dining establishments across 20+ countries and 100+ cities to help food lovers discover Indonesian cuisine worldwide.
We currently feature over 500 Indonesian restaurants worldwide. Our database grows continually as we verify new submissions and expand into additional locations.
We include establishments that primarily serve Indonesian cuisine or feature a significant number of Indonesian dishes on their menu. Our data collection process uses publicly available information from sources like Google Maps, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and restaurants’ social media profiles. We cross-reference details across multiple platforms to ensure accuracy, and we regularly update our listings to reflect closures, relocations, or menu changes. While we strive for accuracy, we encourage users to check current hours and offerings directly with the restaurants. Learn more.

About Indonesian Food
Some of the most widely available Indonesian dishes worldwide include nasi goreng (fried rice), nasi rames (rice with mixed side dishes), sate (grilled meat skewers), rendang (slow-cooked beef), gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), mie ayam (chicken noodle), and bakso (meatball soup).
Indonesian cuisine is characterized by complex flavor profiles, aromatic spices, and the artful balance of sweet, savory, spicy, and sour elements. With influences from 34 provinces across 17,000+ islands, it’s one of the world’s most diverse culinary traditions.
Indonesian restaurants vary widely in price. Many casual establishments offer affordable meals, while upscale restaurants in major cities may charge premium prices. Our directory includes price ranges to help you find options that fit your budget.
Indonesian food often features spicy elements, but the level of heat varies significantly by dish and region. Many restaurants offer customisable spice levels to accommodate different preferences. Most menus include both spicy and mild options.
