Blauw
Utrecht, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Blauw is an Indonesian restaurant on the Springweg, one of the quiet old streets threaded through Utrecht's centre. Indonesian cooking occupies a particular place in the Netherlands — a long culinary exchange that turned spice-layered, share-everything eating into a Dutch habit — and Blauw works squarely in that tradition, with mains around €18. Four independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite, which in a city with as many Indonesian kitchens as Utrecht counts for something. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are part of the menu rather than an afterthought, so a mixed table is easy to feed.
