RM Selamat — Restaurant in Bukittinggi

Food was tasty but too expensive and not a good value compared to others for what you get. I got alot more food yesterday from a similar restaurant for half the price. Service was exceptional and very friendly. Just spent 75,000 and I’m still hungry yesterday I spent 35 and I was almost full, so yeah, not too impressed. I won’t be back and I can’t recommend when there’s other places that are much better value maybe because it’s right in the central tourist zone. The prices are inflated or because I’m a foreigner they charge me more. I’m not sure there’s no way a local would’ve paid what I paid for what I got and been happy with it I feel like I got scammed a few pieces of small meat and a plate of rice and it was almost 5 dollars. Normally they should cost me one to two dollars so I definitely double paid for it and not too happy about it now I have to go and buy breakfast again just so I’m not hungry. I’ll end up spending over 100 K for breakfast which is...

This place is located in the area of jam gadang so it's pretty easy to find. One of their specialty is rendang.

Their specialty -- Rendang tasted amazing. It was soft and easy to chew, the flavors tends to be on the sweeter side. Surprisingly their fried rice is tasted really good. The interior of the place reminds you of those old school restaurants wit tons of big and long tables. The price is normal considering they are located in jam gadang area (~175k for 2 portion of rendang, 1 portion of dendeng batokok, 1 fried rice). The staff are all friendly and even the owner will be more than happy to talk with you.

The parking space is...

The best thing about the Beef Rendang at RM Selamat is that it manages to be so rich and flavourful without being too dry or hard, common issues with many other rendang. Is it great? Perhaps not. But in Bukittinggi it's easily...
