Ron Gastrobar Indonesia in Laren

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was fantastic and incredibly helpful. We wanted to sit next to each other on a bench, and as soon as they had room, they were happy to move us to a different table! Now that's what I call thoughtful and accommodating!

We went again and this time we sat at the front, but you do feel the pull from the door. Otherwise, we had another delicious meal, and I'll stick with the following: We had the extensive rijsttafel (rice table) in a lovely atmosphere, with good service and a pleasant ambiance. Reservations are required, but the food is very good. Why 4 stars? Considering the price in relation to the portions, there are restaurants that do better. For example, two people with one egg is a bit meager.

The food is good, but the service doesn't live up to its reputation. Food comes before an aperitif. Drinks are forgotten and rarely asked for in between. Empty glasses aren't cleared away for the entire dinner. The Rijsttafel (rice table) isn't complete and isn't brought back until very late. And coffee for half the table arrives after everyone else has already finished their ice cream. It's a shame, I had higher expectations. We did get free coffee, as we later saw on the receipt.

Had a wonderful evening at Ron Gastrobar Laren. Great cocktails, fantastic food, and a beautiful location!

What a charming location in the delightful, Christmas-themed village of Laren. Agus's Indonesian rice table was delicious, and the champagne was fantastic!

Cozy atmosphere, but the food was disappointing. We dined here yesterday. The restaurant is warm, tastefully decorated, and truly exudes Indonesian ambiance—which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, we were less enthusiastic about the food. We chose the Rijsttafel Agus (rice table). With the exception of the satay ayam, we found the other dishes lacking the right balance of flavors. Several dishes clearly deviated from the authentic Indonesian flavors we're used to, and we even found some too sour. We also felt that several dishes lacked the depth and harmony you normally find in Indonesian cuisine. All in all, the food was unfortunately disappointing. We realize that the flavors are probably fine for the average Dutch eater, but for those well-versed in Indonesian cuisine, our experience is best described as disappointing.

Nice restaurant with friendly staff, and it was so sweet that they sang for my bday! Noise levels are ok, service fine however a bit messy (ie having to ask for the wine of my wife 4 times), the food itself was good, although a bit depending on the saus sometimes. Highly recommended, would come back for sure.

The food was delicious. The welcome and service were mediocre. We waited a long time before being greeted, and after our drinks, no one was seen again, even though our glasses were empty. The portions were embarrassingly small. For a "normal" price, that would have been small. All in all, if you pay that much, you should expect more.

The quality and taste of the food are excellent, but it's a real shame that they use (small) containers. For four adults, this is very little. The quantity was therefore extremely disappointing. €40 per person for a rijsttafel (rice table) is not worth it. Such a shame...

Fantastic food and friendly service.

What friendly service, a pleasure to eat there

The food was delicious. We had to repeatedly remind the staff to order drinks. The price-quality ratio is starting to get a bit out of whack, especially with drinks/wines (cappuccino €5?).

It was wonderful and importantly, the staff was very nice and positive 😀

As a native Javanese, I simply had to eat here at least once, even if it's a good hour's drive. Absolutely no regrets. It was delicious, just as Indonesian food should be. We chose the Agus rice table, which is highly recommended. It was well-seasoned and had plenty of variety. "Our" hostess (Sophie?) still knows the ropes: polite, friendly, hospitable (and everything by heart).

Nice restaurant, friendly service, delicious rijsttafel (rice table), reasonable prices, only €6 for a small bottle of tonic I find quite a lot!

Delicious food and a wide variety of Indonesian dishes. Friendly staff. Update: We ate again, the rijsttafel (rice table) through Social Deal. It was delicious, tasted great, very generous portions, and had a great variety. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The desserts were delicious. We also had a nice private seat, and even though the restaurant was full, we weren't bothered by it. We will definitely be back!

Cozy place with friendly and helpful staff. The food was pretty good. The naananas (pineapple with rice porridge and something else) wasn't as good. The rice wasn't cooked through from the rice porridge.

The food, in terms of taste, atmosphere, and service, is superb! But the portions for groups are embarrassingly small... I see photos posted of a tray with a set menu for two people, but two trays with the same ingredients are served to a group of 10, 5 people per dish! With Indonesian hospitality, you always have leftovers, now going home with a rumbling stomach... too bad, 2 stars for the meagerness; otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars because the flavors were good.

Last weekend, we ate at Ron Gastrobar Indonesia in Laren for the first time, and it was a treat! We had a wonderful meal (it was truly amazing!). We had a great spot (a table for two against the wall by the bar). The rijsttafel (rice table) fit perfectly because they cleverly created a raised platform so we could add something underneath (and there was plenty of it). The service was friendly and professional. The restrooms and chairs were excellent. Paying the deposit wasn't a problem (it's understandable, and you have to pay anyway :-) This is highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back.

We ate at Ron Gastrobar for the first time, and it probably won't be our last! Ron Gastrobar is a charming restaurant with delicious food. The team was very friendly and service was quick. We'll definitely be back! ;-)

The food: Exceptionally delicious. The service: perfect (Thanks, Noor!) The atmosphere: very nice.

The food was quite good, the rijsttafel was good but not significantly different from the average Indonesian restaurant. So, the reputation is a bit overblown by the Ron Blaauw brand name, which is a good excuse to make the (not listed on the menu) drinks extra expensive. The service was friendly and fast...until you want to pay...

This is a fantastic restaurant, the food was delicious. The service was great from the moment we walked in. It has a lovely, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!👌

The rice table was full of variety and well-seasoned. Only the satay was a bit dry.

No chance! Paying a €30 deposit for a reservation, then being stuck with a 2-hour and 15-minute time limit, despite explaining my illness and tube feeding, so I can't eat quickly. It's all a hassle. (Very hospitable, and Indonesian hospitality is hard to come by.) It's a shame you've lost a regular customer of both the home boxes and the restaurant. P.S. Maybe recruit fewer social deal-loving customers and treat your normally well-paying guests fairly.

Delicious food, definitely worth it!

Excellent Indonesian food, friendly and competent staff

Everything is right about this restaurant, the service is excellent, everything you eat and drink is made with care. Recommended.

Recently took advantage of the Summer Deal. A (surprise) menu for two people including a bottle of rosé for €85. This is provided you reserve early or later in the evening and pay in advance. The food was very good and the service excellent. The only thing that bothered us was that you had to order the rice separately, which wasn't included in the deal. The main course consisted exclusively of meat or fish, so the rice was absolutely essential. This felt like a catch. Should have made the menu a bit more expensive, including the rice? Or communicate the menu beforehand, so you're transparent about what to expect.

We had a wonderful meal at Ron Gastrobar Indonesia in Laren. The welcome from Rachel was fantastic. Hospitable and friendly without being intrusive. Hats off to Rachel! Of course, our compliments also go to the chef, who ensured that every dish surprised us with the authentic flavors of Indonesia. We'd love to come back.

The food was absolutely delicious. It was very busy, but the staff did everything they could to bridge the wait for the rijsttafel (rice table). The food is delicious, but again, you do have to wait a while.

We had a lovely meal here. We made a pre-order, as there was no room left on our previous attempt. It's a bit odd that you have to pay a deposit when making a reservation. In our case, it was €30. I understand, but it doesn't seem very customer-friendly. Anyway, we ordered the rijsttafel (rice table) for two, and there were quite a few portions. If you order a rijsttafel at a Chinese restaurant, you can eat from it for three days, but that's definitely not the case here. I never go to those all-you-can-eat restaurants, but personally, I thought the portions could have been a bit more filling. I also found the portions of white rice and nasi goreng quite small. Of course, this is just my personal experience, and some people will find this more than enough. Not for me, and I'm not a big eater. However, the quality of the food was very good, and I can only be positive about that.

Cozy interior...delicious extensive rijsttafel and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful meal. Highly recommended if you love Indonesian food.

Ron Gastrobar in Laren had been on our to-do list for a while. The ambiance is beautiful and atmospheric. The high tables are a bit cramped, but luckily, a low table was arranged for us. We were served by Noor—and truly, every restaurant deserves a Noor! What lovely, hospitable service. The rijsttafel (rice table) arrived quickly and the flavors were excellent, only a shame it was served cold.

Opgegroeid in Indonesie, met ouders, grootouders en tantes die daar geboren en opgegroeid zijn, kan ik beweren wat rijsttafel betreft aanzienlijk ervaring te hebben. De katjangsaus was al een gedicht. Sate Kambing met geit en niet met schaap. Sate geroosterd op houtskool, zo als het hoort. Ongelovelijk. Personeel matig attent, tweede ronde bier duurde 20 minuten, maar ze waren wel heel aardig.

We had a rijsttafel here last month. The food wasn't bad, just a bit average. I expected more; you know, Ron Blaauw. The atmosphere was relaxed, though a bit dark. Initially, we had a small table, but luckily a larger one was available. The service was friendly, but a bit too obvious about routine for my liking. What bothered us quite a bit was the music. Not too loud, but it didn't fit the surroundings at all, and somehow it became irritating.

Amazingly delicious food and superb service! Highly recommended.

The food tastes good. But for what you get, it's overpriced. If you're not a big eater, it's okay, but still a lot of money for what you get. It was a one-time visit for us!

I didn't experience the promised (taste) sensations; most dishes were mainly salty. What a shame!

Highly recommended. Fantastic! We think this location is the nicest and tastiest of this chain. It has a lovely atmosphere, and the chef even comes to your table during dinner.

We zaten heerlijk op het terras. Het is een smaakvol ingericht restaurant en de bediening is reuze vriendelijk en voorkomend. We namen met z’n vieren rijsttafel Agus. De meest uitgebreide met vlees en vis. Helaas konden we in de Udang Peteh en in de Sajoer Lodeh geen petehboon vinden. Het was lekker, maar we misten toch wat uitgesproken smaken. Zo vond ik de Nasi Goreng niet te vergelijken met die van thuis, lekker maar voor mij vreemd. We waren euro 269 kwijt voor deze lunch. Tja.

Food was very tasty but not warm and on the small side in terms of quantity. Therefore still expensive.

Delicious food, friendly staff, nice ambiance

Rice table on a 40x40 cm table On the wall It was immediately advised to order more so that the Social Deal discount would be canceled The food was little Dish on sauce bowls We could put drinks on the flower box next to the table

Met een Social Deal voucher maar eens een rijsttafel uitgeprobeerd. Deze werd op een ludieke rijsttafel geserveerd en was heerlijk. Het personeel was uitermate vriendelijk en gaf duidelijk aan wat alle schaaltjes bevatten Dat maakte alles af.

Heerlijke rijsttafel met niet te grote porties zodat je niet te snel genoeg hebt. Het attente personeel gaf duidelijk aan welke gerechten het waren en in welke volgorde je deze het beste kon eten.

Ron Gastrobar Indonesia Laren is truly a fantastic experience! The Indonesian food is delicious - full of flavour, beautifully presented and prepared with care. We have been there several times now and it is a party every time. Extra special: during our last visit Ron Blaauw was there himself! That made the evening complete. We will definitely come back here. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a disappointment! For a three-person rice table, you get exactly the same amount of food as for a two-person portion, except for the chopsticks. Then we are glad that we ordered a starter, because otherwise this would really have been too little. In addition, as a lady on the toilet, you can look forward to being wedged against the toilet bowl - i.e. in the left toilet. The right one is completely unusable for women who are a bit wider. Oh yes, and although that did not apply this time: if you come too often, the service conveniently forgets to serve the kroepoek as a welcome. So for the time being, not worth repeating for us.

Beautiful ambiance and delicious food

Delicious starter. Delicious rice table. Great service 👌

What a great experience to eat here. Tasty dishes with top service. A definite recommendation

Never before had a rijsttafel served so quickly. The staff came to ask 3 times if we had made a choice. The aperitif was not finished yet and within 5 minutes the dishes were on the table. Very tasty, very sweet. Not very fresh; Atjar clearly not fresh and kentang not either. We decided to leave it at that. Within the hour we were standing outside, disillusioned.

We often visit Agus/Ron in Laren, even though we no longer live nearby. Every time the food is of an excellent standard and exceeds our expectations. The chef knows what a good taste palette means and that is reflected in all dishes. The staff is of an excellent standard and knows how to make it a very nice evening! Knowledge and expertise that you don't often come across!

Veel over gehoord en gelezen en nu met werkgever gegeten!! Wat een ervaring en van af hap 1 in het voorgerecht (black box, een aanrader) t/m het desert, één groot smaakpapillen-feest!!! Met collega’s beide rijsttafels laten uitserveren (combi vis en vlees) en van alle gerechtjes genoten!! Het toetje met de mousse in de vorm van een pinda zag er echt geniaal uit!! Vriendelijke bediening, vooraf reserveren, ben je verzekerd van een plek. Locatie midden in Laren, dikke prima….:.:

Heard a lot about it and now dined with employer. From the first bite of the starter (Black Box) to the dessert a great taste bud feast‼️dinner both the Rijstafel Danny and the Rijstafel Agus served and all dishes were top of taste. Lots of diversity, both fish and meat/chicken, everything completely in balance. Top dessert was the mousse in the shape of a peanut, genius. Friendly service, but make a reservation in advance. This way you avoid disappointment.

Such a nice place. Food was fantastic and service 100%.

What a fantastic meal you can have here! We had the rice table with fish and meat. What carefully prepared dishes. Individually weighed flavours. Nothing was too 'thick'. The serving staff were friendly, quick and humorous. A place to come back to, chapeau! One point for improvement is perhaps the metal chairs. After more than an hour I got cramps in my thighs due to the high position of the metal tube at the front of the seat. After walking and stretching in the toilet for a while and exchanging the chair for an armchair, the cramp was gone.

Delicious Indian food with the well-known Indian warmth and hospitality. A restaurant to return to again and again.

The staff was friendly and very attentive. The food was varied and very tasty!

Delicious food. We had the Indo fusion menu. After a delicious appetizer, four people shared 4 dishes. Crab, pork belly, spare ribs, etc. with delicious sauces. Special dining experience. There is also the option for a traditional rice table €40 pp

Tasty food. Nicely made but expensive. A lot of noise inside and several times we had to wait very long (15 minutes) for the coke ordered.

Wow..great restaurant with delicious Indonesian rice table food, great atmosphere, they even wrote me a birthday card.

What delicious cuisine and cozy atmosphere! Recommended 100%

Good food, value for money in terms of quantity of dishes, nice atmospheric environment

Had a fantastic meal at Ron Gastrobar in Laren! We had a culinary evening here. Toast with a champagne Brut reserve, the bold start to an evening full of culinary temptation. The amuse gueule: it started well with the oyster that lay so temptingly on that plate... it looked so delicious that I didn't want to leave it any longer than necessary, and so did all the other small wonderful snacks before dinner. Really nice! Then came the real deal: a table full of dishes with great taste sensations that will conquer your heart. Taste, style and nice service, everything was perfect. No hassle, just class. What fun! Great evening! Tasty food! What more could you want! We enjoyed it and will definitely come back.

A party every time!! Delicious food and wonderful staff!!

A lovely restaurant a little bit out of town. We got a uber. Really good food and excellent variety. Staff were so friendly especially Sophie. Would love to come back again.

Very cozy atmosphere, nice friendly service, great appetizer and delicious rice table, with a glass of wine... TOP

Such an amazing authentic Indonesian place! The food is out of this world! Decor and service are also super. We had such an amazing time here!

Really incredibly delicious food. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Flavor explosions in your mouth. The atmosphere is nice. Too bad the background music was not in the same mood at all. But that can also be a matter of taste. I found the service young and not appropriate for the restaurant. They were sweet, but lacked the professionalism that you would expect from this type of restaurant. One older or more experienced person in between would have brought it more into balance. But that could also have been due to the day. I would come back for the food. But less for the ambiance. You can also pick up. So maybe that is an option for me.

Nice and cozy atmosphere and delicious food.

Had a wonderful lunch in honor of my oldest friend's 75th birthday. Very cozy.

This was so delicious, a true taste explosion mnnnnn

Delicious food and good service

The food is excellent, perfect balance of spices. Enough choice. Service is extremely friendly. The atmosphere is cozy in an Asian ambiance.

Wonderful evening with many smaller dishes. Nice menu with many choices. Wine list is also accessible. The staff is extremely nice and competent, neat and pleasant to deal with. Really hospitable.

Delicious dinner with 6 people. Tasty snacks beforehand. We then had the rice table meat and fish. It was a bit busy at the reception and you were left waiting a bit awkwardly in the entrance.

Delicious rice table Friendly staff

A beautiful ambiance and cozy relaxed atmosphere. We opted for the Danny rice table (5pers). Super tasty different dishes with fried rice and definitely recommended.

Had a really nice evening! Cozy, great service and the rice table was fantastic! Every dish was delicious!

Een heerlijke rijsttafel gegeten. Vriendelijk personeel. Jammer dat het restaurant niet bij ons in de buurt is. Echt een aanrader!!

We ate here for the second time, because we enjoyed it so much last time. We wanted to let our dear friends taste it too. Once again it was delicious! With our compliments on how well people with a nut allergy are taken into account here. A lot of restaurants can learn from this. And finally, extra compliments to Melissa, what a gem of a hostess. We will 100% come back here again.

Very surprising and delicious food! Very nice friendly employees! Highly recommended and we will definitely come back!

The place to be if you like good food

Very disappointed in the Toko. I got the feeling that they had forgotten to cook all the vegetables. The Rendang and shrimp were also not high flyers.

Delicious!! Highly recommended, nice place!

1 van mijn favoriete restaurants waar ik altijd graag terug kom! Ik raad het restaurant dan ook zeker aan anderen aan. Bedankt weer voor de goede service en het heerlijke eten!

We made a reservation a day in advance. We had a delicious and tasty meal there. We ate the noodles, pork belly, satay ajam and satay babi, and also spare ribs with a delicious sambal badjak. The pork belly was crispy and soft at the same time and almost melted on the tongue. Service was knowledgeable and very hospitable. This tent is a reason to drive to Laren!

Great food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended

Familie etentje bij Ron in Laren, een gezellig sfeer en goede Indonesische keuken. Bediening vriendelijk, prijs is ok. Zeker een aanrader.

Delicious food, highly recommended. But especially the service was great: hospitable and cheerful. Definitely come back again.

Heerlijke rijsttafel gegeten, mogelijkheid om bij te bestellen als het niet genoeg was. Enig minpuntje was dat het eten snel afkoelde. Bediening was super: gastvrij en vrolijk.

We had a delicious meal there again. Always a nice restaurant to go to. If I want to eat delicious Indian food, this is the place for me. Or order a rice table box via Eat Sous.

Expensive, mediocre, bad service. The rice table should be the calling card of an Indonesian restaurant. But we did not experience that at Ron's Gastrobar Indonesia in Laren. The service was clumsy, irritating and not professional. You can expect a higher standard from Ron Blaauw, who links his name to this. The food was mediocre. They were not told what was in the containers and bowls. It was actually very messy. No, not a recommendation for Laren!

Tja… net als een tijdje geleden was de saté van ossenhaas van mindere kwaliteit. Te ver gegaard ….gaan jullie bezuinigen op de kwaliteit? Dat past niet bij jullie. De sausen bij de sate’s zijn te zwaar, waardoor je de echte smaak van het vlees niet echt proeft. Jammer……echt jammer. Wel moet gezegd worden dat de dames in de bediening erg vriendelijk en voorkomend waren….by the way: verander de kaart eens…..het wordt saai…..

Super lekker gegeten met 4 man. Bediening top en super aardig. Lekkere fingerfoods vooraf met daarna een heerlijke rijsttafel…het is niet goedkoop maar voor Indisch eten ook niet super duur….zeker niet op deze locatie…..ga niet eten met in je hoofd een michelin ster restaurant te bezoeken! Dit is heel wat anders. Maar voor een gezellige avond uit eten met heerlijk eten en drinken zit je hier goed.

Spontaneous eating at Ron Gastrobar Indonesia remains a party! The welcome is very hospitable and the atmosphere is great. A few street food dishes to start with; the martabak and the panipuri, delicious! This time we did not order our favorite white Muga, but water with bubbles and an alcohol-free beer. (from the dry January card;) Then on to the main courses. We ordered the ikan dabu, salad tempeh, ikan ijo, and a chicken satay. The presentation of the dishes was top notch and the taste was as always delicious, with the ikan ijo being the highlight. Really super tasty and refined. We enjoyed it again and will be back soon!

I liked the cozy atmosphere at Ron Gastrobar Indonesia. We tried the rice table and it was delicious.

Delicious food. Nice location. Good service. Definitely come back.
