Ampera is a well-known Sundanese restaurant chain with multiple locations in Bogor, serving the classic format of West Javanese food: dishes arrive already arranged on the table, you eat what you want, and pay only for what you've touched. The selection typically includes fried chicken, grilled fish, tempeh, tofu, various sambals, and a large plate of lalab — the raw vegetables (cucumber, cabbage, long beans, bitter leaves) that are the hallmark of Sundanese eating.
The style is casual and inexpensive. The branch near the Botanical Gardens is frequently full at lunch; it is best to arrive before noon or after 2pm. Open daily.
