Tujuh Maret

About Tujuh Maret

Tujuh Maret specializes in the cuisine of North Sulawesi, also known as Manado food, a regional Indonesian style distinguished by its use of fresh chilies, herbs, and charcoal grilled meats. The restaurant operates from Utrechtsestraat in central Amsterdam, a street known for its concentration of independent restaurants and cafes connecting the Museum Quarter to the city's canal ring.

The restaurant is family run, and its menu centers on charcoal grilled satay alongside a rice table format that can include between twelve and eighteen individual dishes depending on the size of the order. The signature rice table is built around a minimum of two guests and typically includes chicken satay, yellow rice, pandan scented rice, a sweet and sour salad, and prawn crackers, along with other dishes rotated according to availability. The restaurant has drawn attention from food publications in recent years, including a mention among a broader list of recommended Amsterdam restaurants published in early 2025.

Tujuh Maret is open daily from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with no separate hours listed for weekends. The restaurant does not offer an all day schedule, so walk in diners arriving outside this window will find it closed. Given its reputation and relatively compact dining room, the restaurant is often busy during peak hours, and prospective guests are encouraged to arrange a table through the restaurant's own website rather than relying on walk in availability.

The combination of a specific regional focus and a family operated kitchen sets Tujuh Maret apart from Amsterdam's broader roster of Indonesian restaurants, many of which offer a more general survey of dishes from across the archipelago. For diners specifically interested in Manado cooking, the restaurant remains one of the more consistently mentioned options in the city. Its central location on Utrechtsestraat also places it within easy reach of the Museum Quarter, making it a practical stop for visitors combining a museum visit with an evening meal in that part of Amsterdam.
