restaurants in Rotterdam and Amsterdam?

Hoping for some suggestions on restaurants to check out in Rotterdam and Amsterdam - particularly interested in non-touristy Indonesian, Surinamese and traditional Dutch - nothing too fancy or expensive, just good food. Thanks for any tips!

In Amsterdam I enjoyed Moeders and The Pantry. You will need a reservation.

husband and wife cook a dinner in their home in the heart of amsterdam. they do a bistro dinner or traditional dutch meal. click and see what it offers and then book it. the husband olav does a tour of the history of the city if interested.

pedestrian only, blocks and block of hundreds of stalls with anything and everything. stop for a beer or wine, order an appetizer or local favorite, people watch. always check days/times places are open, some may have closed permanently with pandemic

amsterdamexcursies.nl
check some of the guided tours they offer
we also found a pedicab driver near city center and offered euros for a tour so we could see parts of the city. he was willing, set a price and off we went to learn history, architecture, people. great tour and we laughed and had fun.
this will keep you busy, we've been twice and loved it. be very careful of all the bikes, bikes, bikes everywhere when walking. enjoy a canal boat cruise daytime & night time, the whole atmosphere of this gorgeous city. it get crowded so go with the flow
