The Village Coffee & Music in Utrecht has established itself as a must-visit spot for coffee enthusiasts. The staff, often sporting beards and tattoos, are skilled at brewing filter coffee using various methods and high-quality beans from Belgian roaster Caffenation. Located conveniently close to the train station, this former prison building exudes a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal place to savor delicious snacks and seek advice from the baristas.
The best cafe I've been to in the Netherlands! They not only have incredible coffee that's roasted by them, but the location in Utrecht is incredibly cozy, artsy, and awesome to spend time in. Everyone I've brought here has been so impressed!

Food: Great - had the PB&J cookie on Saturday: would trade one of my kidneys for it Today: choc brownie (see picture. Was delicious) Flat white, cappuccino with this or that milk also great. Bonus points: Music. Idles on Saturday and today on Tuesday full on 3 albums of the boss. Bruce Springsteen nonstop & no song skipping. Lovely, thank you. See you again soon

Visited The Village, a café conveniently located on Voorstraat in Utrecht. The atmosphere is a unique blend of rock and tribal vibes, mixed with an industrial aesthetic, creating a distinctive and inviting space. I tried their Iced Latte, which was good, quite refreshing and balanced. I also sampled their Hazelnut Cookie, which was a pleasant surprise—deliciously flavorful without being overly sweet, making it a perfect companion to the coffee. The café itself is cozy, offering both indoor and outdoor seating options, depending on your preference. Whether you’re into café hopping or just looking for a cool spot to relax, The Village is definitely worth a visit.

the coffee is really great, smooth but bold flavours with distinct notes. don’t miss out on the pastries either, i had the gluten free cookie and i just had to get another one. the atmosphere is very pleasant and the really good music definitely made me stay for a few hours to study! definitely come check it out when in utrecht :))

The cafe offers an array of filter beans from different regions, ensuring delicious flavors with every cup. Visitors can savor organic breakfast options paired with fresh filter brew from Dutch roaster Single Estate and delectable homemade cakes.
Beautiful place with good coffee and tea, cookies & apple cake are delicious!

This cafe is a rare find, especially in the Netherlands - it opens as early as 8 am., even on Sundays, making it perfect for morning people like me. I personally love sitting outside on the street in the mid-morning sun (when we’re lucky enough to have it). It does get busy at times, but in my experience, the service is always quick. They serve an excellent cappuccino, along with tasty granola with yogurt, sandwiches, and some of the best cakes in the area. My personal favorite is definitely the banana bread! It’s not the kind of place where you’d linger for hours, but it’s just right for soaking up some sun and enjoying a lovely breakfast or coffee break. Inside, I’ve noticed there’s a fee for laptops, which might not appeal to everyone. But overall, the atmosphere is pleasant, and if you’re from the area, I’d definitely recommend stopping by.
Anja — Google review
Products are good but service is beyond terrible. 3 or 4 people working there and even when there is almost no customers they will take 20 minutes to come to your table if they ever come, and if you go to ask for service they get annoyed that you disturb their chatting and phone scrolling so you are tell to sit and wait…we live few blocks away so we have had this repeatedly and it’s not improving since the last 2 years
Claudia P — Google review
Good coffee but extremely slow service even with 3 employees and only a few costumers. I have left more than once and I am not going again because they were going first to tables that arrived after mine and were just generally very slow and not experienced enough to know how read the room.
Laura L — Google review
This was my first stop in Utrecht. I had a flat white and it was lovely. The service is AMAZING. The lady taking and serving my order was super nice and friendly. They have quite sufficient seatings outside to enjoy the sun and relax in a Saturday morning. But also a lovely place to set inside and watch from aback. Love the interior. They seem to also serve lunch but I haven't tried any. They have a free WiFi as well. My choice of this coffee spot was a bit random but it was definitely a great decision. Llkeepcit up guys.
Amal T — Google review
One of my favourite coffee places in Utrecht! Freshly baked cakes, organic products, friendly staff and cosy interior - you forget that you are not in the city centre of Utrecht. The benefit of its location is that it is not overly crowded (although busy) - making it the perfect place to work or study (the downside: you must pay hourly if you use your laptop)… or just meet with friends for a cup of coffee or brunch! I hope that we will start seeing more places like that in the area.

Nice place, not too busy, coffee is quite good and nice lunch options. If you’re coming with laptop be prepared to be seated at dedicated tables and pay 2.5 euros per hour (this kinda discouraged me), but otherwise pleasant and friendly cafe.

Nice experience. Friendly staffs and nice atmosphere. There’re some benches outside, not with canal view but on lovely peaceful street. We ordered matcha latte and chai latte. Matcha was ok but must try chai latte. The cinnamon taste got me. Apple pie is a bit hard. Its not too sweet tho

Café Het Gegeven Paard is a trendy and vibrant venue located near Tivolivredenburg, offering a variety of finger foods, pub meals, coffee, beer, wine, and unique cocktails. It's a popular spot for gatherings and meetings with ample seating and a lovely outdoor area. The café is praised for its great cocktails like the Twin Kicks but some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and service.
Great cafe for a coffee and snack, or a meal. Nice food and quick service, and so convenient if you're going to a concert at the Tivolivredenburg.

Every time we come here for the past years, the service is terrible and sooo slow. There are always so many staff just standing inside and chit chatting, it takes soo long for them to come out and take your order and when you want to order inside they say someone will go and take your order. Well hello ive been waiting already for 20 minutes for someone and thats why i had to come jnside to order. In the past Ive never left a review giving them multiple chances, but today it wasn’t even busy and thats just unacceptable. We are never coming back, its a shame cus this place is nice near the canal but i guess thats the only appealing thing and bad service just ruins your mood and experience.

Came for a quick snack and some drinks before a concert. The nachos was not constructed well, uneven toppings. Borrel snacks were standard. Nothing amazing. Location is nice and the high ceilings are nice. However they also seemed a bit short on staff/staff were un-attentive so it was hard to get their attention to order, so much so we decided to skip the last round.

BROEI is a well-established spot in Utrecht, offering a comfortable and homely atmosphere with outdoor seating by the canals. The staff is known for their friendliness and they have their own bakery producing sourdough bread. The menu features a mix of vegetarian and vegan options, including cooked and raw dishes. The space itself is described as cool, cozy, and creative, making it suitable for various occasions such as casual hangouts or meetings.
I had the 4 course menu and it was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't know that Brussel sprouts could be so decadent, they were the surprise highlight of the meal. The rest of the courses were well balanced with interesting flavors of fermentation, roasting and sweetness. The service was nice, attentive and fast and the prices were fair. The wine list was a bit limited but sufficient.

Mila S — Google review
Incredibly bland food with no taste whatsoever. I was told the vegetable bowl would be warm, it was served on a pumpkin puree base that was straight from the fridge. Unfortunately, the dish I ordered has never seen seasoning in its life. The bread I asked for on the side was also chewy sourdough. It’s a decent place to work out of, but I’m disappointed with the food as I had been really excited to try it. It perhaps also has to do with my palate, I’m not used to bland unseasoned food.

Went here alone and was only planning to drink some chai latte and have some snack while (finally) continuing to read my novel, but ended up with a 3-course dinner, and I'm glad I did!! My first time trying Aardperen, I love how they combine it with a savoury chips. Another memorable one for me is how they cook the mushrooms, echt lekker!. Dessert was bread pudding i think? With ice cream and mousse. A refreshing palate cleanser. I got seated at a very comfy couch, quite secluded. 2 hours just flew by. I was quite lucky to get a seat despite not having a reservation. And the staff are lovely! Top notch service.

What a wonderful restaurant! The food, the location (you can sit outside next to the beautiful canal), and the staff—everything was perfect. The menu is varied, with a quick and easy choice between four or five courses. Very tasty and inventive food; the chefs were all fantastic. Compliments to everyone working here. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Wow wow wow! This place was full of colour, life, good energy and very tasty food at a very reasonable price. Each plate was more and more enjoyable and tasty with a wide range of flavours, from very noticeable to much more subtle that’s only a finely tuned tongue would appreciate. This is my number one place to eat in all of Utrecht and I can’t wait to come back. Thanks for being so kind and lovely to two tourists.

The vintage decor gives the place a really unique charm, with old bikes and retro furniture all around. It’s small inside, but the vibe is cozy and welcoming.

Belgian restaurant
Belgisch Biercafé Olivier Utrecht is housed in a 19th-century townhouse that conceals a secret - a clandestine church dating back to the 1640s. This former Maria Minor church has been transformed into a cafe specializing in Belgian and Dutch beers, maintaining its historic charm with restored ecclesiastical elements and an updated interior. The restaurant offers traditional Belgian cuisine, complemented by an extensive beer selection.
A very unique an grandeur setting! It’s a beerplace in an old church ⛪️ the experience and atmosphere inside is immaculate <3 i also love the snacks (cheese spring roll??) hahahaha my dad also loves the beer he said it’s a very nice taste with only small bitterness
Mahira P — Google review
Decent selection of classic good Belgian beers. Some waiters were really friendly and professionals, others I think they were looking for shortcuts, but overall nice experience nothing too bad. I loved the place inside, drinking a beer there was really good. I loved that each beer had his own correct paired glass. One of the nice waiter also stated that they didn't have any Guinness anymore, so suggested to have another stout; then corrected himself saying that they didn't have any glasses for it, so this is definitely a positive point for their honesty and professionalism. Food wise I think they can improve, my salad was everything but a salad. Overall would be a 4/5, but I didn't like the approach towards some people. Place inside was almost empty, we were there for lunch, most tables were reserved for the evening. Those entering were first suggested to sit outside or in a not reserved table, even if more than 6 hours were between current time and the one marked on the table. I also saw one poor guy that just wanted to see the tap beers at the counter, friendly being sent back outside with the reason that tap beers were marked on the menu. He just wanted to have a look 😅 Then when a tourist group came in with their guide, they could just roam around taking pictures and videos while talking, like it's not a restaurant. It's fine and understandable, the place is very beautiful and probably with rich history, but it was funny to see the difference.

Incredible place. I was surprised the moment I got inside. It’s a huge and nice place. I never imagined to see a Bar/Restaurante in a church. Despite being a bit noise when it is crowded, it’s outstanding! Service incredible and friendly. Carpaccio one of the best I ever had!

This Belgian beer café is a hidden gem with a remarkable setting. It appears to be housed in a former church, which gives the entire space welcoming feel. The location alone makes it worth a visit! I had a few bitterballen with my drink, which were crispy, hot, and just what you’d hope for. The staff was super friendly and impressively quick, even though the place was quite busy. The beer selection is massive, one of the most extensive I’ve seen. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just curious to try something new, you’ll definitely find something here.
Laura — Google review
While it's a unique setting with great beer and good food, I found the natural acoustics of the church amplified the sound of everyone too much during rush hour. At some point I had to shout for my friend to hear what I was saying. If I went at a quieter time I would probably have had a much better experience. Recommended: If you're looking for a unique or new experience. Not Recommended: Big groups, business meetings, during busiest hours (unless you don't mind the noise)

The Streetfood Club is a vibrant and trendy venue that offers a fusion of Asian and Peruvian street foods, along with all-day brunch options and unique cocktails. The interior is a colorful and lively space, adorned with bright pinks, greens, florals, and lush succulents. While the brunch menu features classics like smashed avocado and poached eggs, the real highlight is the street food menu served after lunchtime.
first time to try the special sushi dish. was so great. the kfc was good. shrimp salad was boring. last time we had the lunch to share was also super yummy. waitresses are nice. nice music at night. busy so reserve before you come. sweets ate nothing special so would save calories and go somewhere else.

Great experience at the Streetfood Club! The food was delicious, with a variety of dishes inspired by different cuisines. The prices were quite reasonable considering the quality and creativity of the menu in my opinion. The ambiance was super nice since the decoration of the place is stylish and i loved the retro aesthetic. It gives the place a unique vibe. It’s the kind of setting that works for anything really, whether it’s a casual lunch, a dinner with friends, or a date night. Service was friendly and efficient. The only minor issue was the kimchi, which was way too salty, perhaps just a one-off with that batch. Aside from that, everything else was spot on. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back myself.

I had the High Par-Tea, which turned out to be a really fun and tasty experience. A playful mix of savory street-food bites and sweet treats, with plenty of variety to keep things interesting. Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful, and the balance between the savory starters and the dessert selection worked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, which suited the relaxed vibe. The restaurant itself is a real eye-catcher. Colorful, stylish, and full of quirky décor details that make it a great place to just sit back and enjoy. With the combination of good food, a lively atmosphere, and unique presentation, it’s an experience I’d happily repeat next time I’m in Utrecht.

Good food overall, had some really salty bites from the tuna unfortunately. Most food was sadly also barely warm or had too much stuff going on. We could see the kitchen from our view and it appears that food was staying at the counter for abit. Pretty interior however the decor and colours can be overwhelming. Also ALOT of chatter, - lots of girls. Outdoor seating looks way more pleasant.

A Wonderful Surprise! I didn’t quite know what to expect — it had been a while since I made the reservation, and I had forgotten what the photos looked like. What I did remember was that the menu featured exotic dishes, and we were really looking forward to our lunch. And yes, it definitely exceeded our expectations! My Croque Madame was delicious, as were the shrimp dumplings. The passionfruit mojito mocktail was absolutely amazing — fresh and perfectly balanced. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. The interior is beautifully styled, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. In short: highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back! 15/07/2025 Just like the first time, we had another wonderful dining experience. This time we tried different dishes, and they were all delicious. The cocktails were fantastic — my favorites are the Bubblicious Daiquiri, the Pornstar Martini Slush, and of course the Passionfruit Mojito. The service was excellent as well. I had booked for 1:00 PM, but due to public transport issues we arrived 30 minutes late. I had informed them by email, and it was no problem at all upon arrival. We’re definitely not done dining here 🤭 and will be back again soon! 25/10/2025 It was my third time here and my girlfriend’s second, and once again we had a delicious meal! The dishes are super tasty and prepared with great care. We’ll definitely be coming back, because we haven’t tried everything yet. Highly recommended!

The welcome upon arrival is very friendly, and you step into a beautiful and welcoming setting that exudes tranquility. The food and drinks were delicious, and the guests didn't overpower you, so it wasn't noisy. The beautiful, clean, and well-maintained restrooms are also a huge plus. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail. Definitely recommended.

Last night, I went out for dinner with four girlfriends at The Street Food Club in Utrecht, and wow – what an incredible experience it was! From the food to the interior and the overall vibe: everything was spot on. We chose the shared dining menu for €35 per person, which I highly recommend if you’re going with a group. For that price, you get a wide variety of small, surprising dishes, each with its own character and often served with a delicious matching sauce. The food is truly special and unique, the kind of dishes you won’t easily find anywhere else. Think creative combinations, bold flavors, and presentation that turns your table into a colorful celebration. What made the dinner even more memorable is that at the end of the menu, you get to pick one dish to have again, a fun and generous touch that really makes the experience stand out. The service was also excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they came to our table quickly, and we didn’t have to wait long for our food. The interior is absolutely stunning. Every room is decorated differently, each with its own unique, eclectic style. The design is playful, bold, and full of personality. The music matched the atmosphere perfectly, fun, upbeat, and trendy without being too loud. The location is also great, right on the corner across from the church, making it easy to find and adding to the charm of the place. The only thing for us as long dutch people, was the space for our legs. The table was quite small, which caused that we didn’t have enough space for our legs. In short: great atmosphere, delicious food, beautiful decor, and top-notch service. The Street Food Club is a place I’ll definitely come back to, and one I’ll be recommending to others for sure.

I had breakfast there because I found out it was so highly rated. Indeed the coffee was excellent the view was unmatched and I had a great experience with a pistachio croissant which I've never tried before! Was delicious! I was sorely disappointed about the açai bowl which was the main reason I came there. It seem to have been made from some kind of powder or something because it was warm and bitter and it was nothing like fruits to give it zest and flavor. Açai bowls are one of my favorite things to have anywhere in the world, and when they are excellent they are really remarkable Unfortunately in this case I had at Max and Anne was very poor, and tasted quite terrible!

Quite a disappointing experience. Since this place focuses a lot on breakfast, I expected the scrambled eggs to be tasty, but unfortunately they weren’t. The texture was strange, with an overcooked or reheated taste, and there were even some green parts in the eggs. When I asked, the staff explained it was from the rucola on the side, but my husband’s bacon and eggs had the same issue. At 13 euros per bowl, it really didn’t feel worth it, and sadly we couldn’t finish our meals. After this visit, I don’t think I’d return to this or their other locations

It's a decent bar, but the same as all bars in the Netherlands, they are very expensive. 7.15euro for a single Guinness is a little too much. The bar was cozy, quiet, and not crowded at all (positive or negative up to you). The bartender was friendly and would help you with charging your phone, and they have multiple plugs available. Guinness was too bitter for my taste, but that's on Guinness :))

Utrecht offers many coffee places but this place is by far the cosiest we have ever been.

Hi, fellow traveler! I've visited this place to chat with a close friend. All in all, I liked it. Here're the pros and cons. Pros; - Interior design is sweet and cozy. (Especially windowside places are nice in rainy days. You will have a nice view.) - Their coffee and desserts are not perfect, but good enough. - Staff is very friendly. - It's very close to the center of Utrecht. (You can just continue your trip without walking too much.) - Prices are affordable. Cons; - Mostly, it's a little bit crowded. - Sometimes, it's noisy and hard to have a quiet conversation.

They used to have the most velvety chai latte, sadly not the case anymore. I’m also not a fan of the new interior design, it’s so dark and full of plastic. It used to be so much brighter, happier and cuter. I also miss the cinnamon sugar. I don’t know what happened that triggered these changes, but I don’t think it’s one of my favorite cafes anymore.

My girlfriend was shouted at and harassed, while speaking with me on the phone, by another customer and the waitress/owner. The coffee shop was super busy and loud. They started to shout at her while I was on the call. Expect to have me in in, in the near future. Appending response: Hello again, First, both the customer and waitress shouted at my girlfriend in clear English, so please reply to me in English as well. I don't speak Dutch, and responding in a language I don't understand is itself disrespectful. Second, update your contact information or actually answer your published phone number. I called three times between 9:30 AM and 1 PM specifically to avoid a public dispute and resolve this matter privately in a civilized manner. I only mentioned coming in person because you failed to answer your business line during operating hours. It's unprofessional to publish contact details and then ignore calls. Simply answer your phone. Third, if you interpret my message as threatening, that confirms to me that you acted in bad faith when you publicly harassed Kateryna while she was on a call with me from thousands of kilometers away. Your reaction to this review demonstrates malicious behavior. I need to know which authority in the Netherlands has jurisdiction over customer service standards and harassment complaints. Your response here serves as evidence of your conduct. If you're willing to do the right thing, cooperate with this report. Failure to cooperate will confirm this is a more serious matter than poor customer service.

Had cake and a single espresso. The cake was absolutely terrific. The espresso was lovely also, but there was only one type of beans to choose from. Roasted by local roaster Keen. As a coffee shop that doesn’t roast its own beans, Cupp does a very good job. There were a few bean references from Keen roaster available for sale along with funky beans from a roaster in Amsterdam. If you want a friendly coffee shop and good coffee, this is a perfect spot. If you are a coffee snob and seek more bean choices, maybe aim for roaster Keen’s coffee shops instead.

The most lace is ok. The food was mid. I got a breakfast and the cheese on my egg was plastic American kind (no offence USA but the cheese is terrible). The service lady was smilie at least. Especially when she informed me that in order to keep the place cosy they put people with laptops at the front window(with only one plug at the corner). I was not aware that my laptop broke feng shui rules but their cafe their choice I guess. Until you realise: They CHARGE for using your laptop. 2.5€ without informing you prior. Tldr: don’t bother there is another caffe at the next corner.

The coffee is excellent. As soon as you sit down, even before placing your order, they bring you a glass of water. They have their own pastries, and much of what they serve is freshly prepared on the spot once you order. Because of this, the waiting time can be a bit longer, but never too long. On one occasion, after a slightly longer wait, I was even given a free cinnamon roll. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially if you manage to get a table with a bench in the corner.

Absolutely the best beer bar in Utrecht and it’s due to the efficacy of the bartenders.

We order catch of the day and the waitress brings the food and spill the oil on my friend’s iPhone…seriously unacceptable. No urgently or action to take necessary action just ask after served the plate whether my friend phone is ok or not…. In term of the food, we order variety of food to share and most of the food is very salty. The fried ideas over cooked, rib is mostly burnt so do the chicken. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for dining dinking at the bar is ok.

If you don’t want to wait 1.5 hours after ordering your food, do not come here. We also ordered duck, and it was undercooked inside. The oysters came gritty and uncleaned. I absolutely do not recommend this place—don’t come. We were very dissatisfied.

Food was ok but unluckily the very youthful staff were more interested in socialising with each other rather than serving customers… on the first visit for drinks, our order was missed and ignored without explanation (we walked off without being served), on the second, despite 8 staff and limited customers, none would be waved done for service! Shame as lovely location and set up…

Very poor service , the food took over an hour to arrive, and the wrong dishes were brought. The waiters were inattentive, the food was tasteless, and overall it was a bad choice. I will never come here again. The place has a nice atmosphere, but don’t let that fool you

I've been coming here every now and then through the years but recently their portions have become really small. If you order a broodje kroket it's not a regular size one but a small one, on a small bun, with nothing on the side. No salad, no sauce, no fries... the drinks are also quite expensive it ended up being more expensive than the food (2 drinks per person). We went to get some extra food somewhere else afterwards.

Stadskasteel Oudaen is a historic events venue in Utrecht, dating back to the middle ages. It sits along one of the most beautiful canals and houses a restaurant, modern theater, and a local brewery with tours available. Originally built as a medieval defense tower in 1276, it has since been transformed into a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The castle offers an authentic dining experience with local beers to sample and enjoy.
We booked a reservation here despite never having been, and we’re so happy we did. We had the MOST incredible time, the servers were all incredible, thoughtful, and efficient. We had the falafel salad and the warm brie & pear salad to start, then green curry and the chicken satay for our mains. The beers are to die for - especially the dubbel and Sagittarius A! If it wasn’t full, we would’ve come back the next evening to try even more things from the menu.

Nestled along the picturesque Oudegracht in Utrecht, Oudaen presents itself as a charming blend of a cafe, restaurant, brewery, and meeting place. Its exterior resembles a small castle, making it a delightful sight that sets the tone for the experience inside. Upon entering, I was immediately captivated by the decor. The interior features large, striking paintings that add character to the space, creating an inviting atmosphere. The combination of historic charm and contemporary art makes it a unique setting to enjoy a meal. For lunch, I opted for their toasties, which were nothing short of delicious. Perfectly toasted with a satisfying crunch, they came with an array of fillings that balanced flavor and freshness. Each bite was a treat, showcasing quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The service at Oudaen was commendable—attentive without being intrusive. The staff was friendly and eager to ensure that our dining experience was enjoyable, providing recommendations and promptly addressing our needs. In summary, Oudaen is a delightful spot in Utrecht that beautifully combines its historic charm with modern amenities. Whether you’re looking for a cozy lunch, an inviting atmosphere, or a spot to enjoy a crafted brew, Oudaen delivers a memorable experience. Don't miss it if you get a chance to visit!

Great restaurant with a good, well rounded meals that are tasty and of good quality. They have a variety of banquet rooms, I ate at the top floor which is great, good lighting, high ceiling and spacious for a couple dozen people. They offered a three course menu which was great, a salad, main and dessert. Nice brewery at the lower level.

They changed menu one day before, so it was a bit confusing to order. The place is lovely and I recommend sitting outside, too bad the canal tables were closed on a wednesday. Had the satay and their own witbier, strong taste and go very well together, the satay is not spicy at all, which I like.

Nice place but the salad was a bit below standard. A bit boring and mainly salad and carrots to go with the goat cheese. Wouldn’t order that again. Fish was good according to my fiends. They have their own beers, that made up for it.

It’s an alright place that’s a bit less crowded, however, we were there on a busy day and literally wouldn’t be seated. They said lunch would take half an hour but eating from a sofa isn’t ideal. The apple crumble clearly came out of the freezer, warm but hard apples. They have a good selection of beers though.

Great Dutch food in Utrecht! We needed a place to eat at noon, after walking around Utrecht in the morning. I saw this place near us recommended on here so we gave it a spin and it sure surpassed our expectations. The food was really cozy and heartwarming, accompanied by great, friendly service. The place is situated in a nice, quiet tree-born square. They were also hosting a delightful jazz band accompanying our eating, part of their culture-agenda. Would definitely recommend!!!

Cool spot with live jazz playing — gives off a great vibe, especially on a late summer or autumn afternoon. Only downside: the service. They’re quick to seat you, but after that it feels like you’re invisible while they do their own thing.

On planning my trip to the Netherlands - a country I was about to visit for the first time - I decided to stay in Utrecht instead of Amsterdam despite the fact that Amsterdam is one of Europe's most iconic cities. I felt that Amsterdam could do with one less Brit falling into a canal and on seeing that Utrecht is actually called 'Little Amsterdam' then that would be an excellent alternative choice of experiencing Dutch culture for a few days. When I got there. I was happy but I was also hungry too so near my hotel was Hofman's and it turned out to be a perfect choice as I went in there daily when I was in Utrecht. I had the same thing daily which was beef rendang and it tasted lovely - well, so much so I had it again and again because when I returned to England the chances of myself eating beef rendang is next to zero. Add to the delicious food, it had a great atmosphere and great service. However, despite all these great things about it, the best thing about my experience there was I got talking to some of the guys there and we would talk about travel (and the delights of Manchester) football (the fleeting fortunes of the mighty reds as well as the unfortunate business of Ajax losing to Alkmaar) and I don't know if they did this on both nights because they thought I might be lonely and might have wanted some company. Being a worldwide traveller like I am then you get accustomed to dining alone and have done so from Osaka to Iquique - being a solo traveller means it is a solitary endeavour both mentally and physically. If they did think this then it shows their wonderful empathy and kindness that I might have wanted company. I was happy to talk to them because they were interesting and pleasant and an absolute credit to their families as well as their workplace. A review can talk about the food and the prices (both were excellent by the way) but sometimes the humanity of such places need to be highlighted and I am happy to do this with Hofman in this review so it gets a full five stars from me.

First time in the Tivoli. I had the pleasure of attending Ensemble Hemiolia's "Concerti Grossi XXL – Corelli and Melani" concert. The venue's seating is steeply raked, which guarantees a fantastic line of sight from every seat. The acoustics were equally impressive. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere; it's wonderful to see how much passion the Dutch public has for early music—a level of enthusiasm that is quite distinct compared to audiences in Germany.

The service was really friendly. The menu card is not too long (4 mains) and that is really a positive point in my opinion if you want to get fresh food. (And less waste?) Food was tasty. Will definitely come back to try other mains.

I am quite conflicted here. From my perspective the food was overall (very) nice. However... - My girlfriend had a Cesar salad with dressing, bread crumbs and literally only (mostly unchopped) romaine lettuce. Nothing else (in the salad). - On a Saturday early evening (not even 6 pm) the restaurant ran out of crunchy tofu and the kitchen didn't communicate that to the waiters. - We had to wait for the dessert for almost 40 minutes(which then was more sorbet with fudge than fudge with sorbet). - If you aren't completely full after a 3 course meal (120€ for 2 people) then there is conceptually something off. You want to orientate as a restaurant at higher cuisine? Fair enough, but even at a 5 course meal bread for instance, or generally some carbohydrates, are simply included. A pity, it could have been easily a much better experience. Thank you to the waiter though.

1. This place is centrally located. Very close to the Centraal Station. The locality is also very Dutch (which is amazing). 2. The staff is very friendly and patient. Fast service too. 3. They make their drinks from premade syrup. So it's not cold pressed or anything. For the price I expected cold pressed. 4. We ordered their Shakshuka and sandwich. 5. It was definitely filling. And the taste was good too. Nothing great. But pretty good. Overall a good place. I would recommend a visit here if you're around.

I like that this restaurant is now fully gluten-free because I'm celiac and have IBS. However, I feel the quality of the food and service got worse over the years. On my last visit, I had the 8 small dishes menu. Shared them with a friend. The cauliflower dish had weird crips that tasted like cardboard, the salad was watery and flavorless, the waiters forgot to bring the mushrooms, and the remaining dishes were only impressive in appearance but not in taste or texture. An hour later my friend got diarrhea and I struggled a lot to diggest the food. Honestly, I wish they had some non vegan options because of IBS I sometimes struggle digesting vegan food and I think this was one of those cases. Based on this experience, I recommend sticking to one big dish. And to the restaurant I suggest at least to guarantee the quality of the food because cardboard and watery are not good characteristics of food 😅

The food was tasty but we waited 40 minutes to get eggs on toast when we were starving. We were eventually informed that there was a problem in the kitchen, which was causing the delay, but that was after a whole 40 minutes had passed. We would have appreciated if that were communicated to us earlier so we could maybe change our order or go somewhere else. No effort to rectify the situation was done either. It ruined the experience for us.

Food here was simply not worth the price and a complete mismatch to the quality of the interior and location. Inside the restaurant is nice and in a great area but sadly all 4 dishes we tried were mediocre to bad. Watermelon Feta... Grilled watermelon just isn't a thing because the mouth-feel is disgusting. Crisp, fresh watermelon would have been so much better. Asparagus was badly overcooked. Too much lemon. Was the best dish of the 4. The risotto was watery and bland. With lots of salt and pepper was edible but not at all worth the price. Steak was gray, clearly right out of the freezer. Medium rare is hard to accomplish when you are starting from such a low quality product and it was rubbery and unpleasant. Potatoes were greasy and poorly put together. Salad was weird and difficult to eat. Maybe a bad night for the chef but it really gave me kitchen nightmares vibes. Worst meal in NL and for over €100 a horrible experience. Avoid for dinner. At least the drinks were good.

The interior is stunning, filled with beautiful shades of blue and plenty of lush plants, creating a cozy atmosphere. I visited with a friend and we indulged in a delightful meal - brioche bread topped with crayfish, avocado toast paired with salmon, and a side of Risotto Bitterballen. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and the freshness of each ingredient truly stood out. The dishes lived up to the hype and were definitely worth the price. Plus, the presentation was impeccable, adding to the overall dining experience. The prices were well worth for what you get and I definitely recommend this place.

Nice, cozy restaurant. We went with a group of 16 and had booked the private room. Really good food, and the presentation was one of the best I have seen. However, we had to wait around 30-45 minutes between courses (which is explainable for such a big group, but still something to consider) I had the ribeye steak, which was amazingly flavorful. The vegetables on the side were also a great addition. I would recommend picking the 'wentelteefjes' as dessert, as they were impeccable.

There are alot of pros to this place : 40 years in existence, friendly staff and service, the music playing was awesome and tasteful. The decor is sharp, the seating is comfortable and the restrooms very clean. Cocktail was good but the food I ordered, the chicken Satay, was served nearly cold and the sauce was thick (and cold). Served with bread and rice chips which I dont eat. So all I got from my meal order was coleslaw and seriously below expectation chicken. I wish I could give 5 star on this one everything was beautiful and good service but I would never order food here again.

Will not return, was very disappointed. We had mediocre food: the avocado on toast (bland), the club sandwich (way too much cheese) and the burrata sandwich (basically just bread with tomato and burrata). The actual food menus were scarce, so we had to share 1 tiny (and dirty) menu. Not too many veg/vegan options to choose from. The place was understaffed when we were there, so we had to wait a long time and actually just got up to order ourselves (which was first met with resistance, but luckily the bartender realised we would have left otherwise). Staff was friendly but just not enough of them around. Lastly, I would advise not to go to the restroom - they are disgusting!

Broodnodig Mariaplaats is a cozy spot in Utrecht with three locations, each with varying opening hours. It's owned by a Swedish family and offers a delightful selection of Swedish dishes and desserts. The breakfast options are fresh and original, providing a pleasant surprise compared to typical breakfast places in the area. The coffee is excellent as well.
Best place to rewind after a busy week! The location is perfect on the Mariaplaats in the middle of the city centre. It’s very cozy inside, but the outside terrace is also great because of the big trees. The coffee is always perfect and the food is very nice, they serve a lot of Swedish delicacies. Both their Swedish pastries and breads are great! Pricing is very reasonable, especially for Utrecht. 😉😌☕️

There were multiple people working a half full restaurant and terrace, yet it took almost twenty minutes to get our drinks. We then weren’t asked about food (during lunch time) nor did we get enough menu’s for us all. When your prices are as high as Broodnodig you can’t have people waiting this long for their orders and have the service being that lackluster. A bummer for a place I used to love.

This place was completely opposite, I tried a nice Swedish bun with cinamon and a toast with ham and cheese. Fresh and original. Moreover, the coffee was excellent. It's quality was far above the average Utrecht level. I would not agree with 4.2/5 rating, this place deserves much higher rating. Much recommended for a breakfast, but don't expect eggs, Swedes do not eat fried eggs in the morning as the wait told me.

Broodnodig is a small lunchroom located on the edge of the center and within walking distance of the Dom-Tower. Unfortunately, the interior is not inviting and definitely needs a refresh. Menu/Lunch is neat, but price quality is just right. It's in this sense, especially because of the somewhat boring setting, not to price your own out of the market. More than fine for a quick breakfast or lunch, but we won't be back after 1x. Unfortunately just not special enough.

The cocktails are well balanced with a lots of options. Also whatever you want, just ask the bartender armed with its expertise will make it happen.. Prices are descent as compare to the rest of what you can get in the city. Definitely to try if you are visiting or living in the city

Arrived at the bar (Sunday evening) after reading reviews about service being poor and drinks being amazing. I don’t think the service is anything to write home about, but that’s not why I came. If you came to be amazed, let it be because of the libations. I had the espresso martini which was fantastic, and then followed that by the Old Fashioned which took some time but was PERFECT. If you enjoy an old fashioned, this is the place to get one. I also tried the Yellow Bird which was really fruit (sweet) forward, but flavor fantastic. As the rest of the reviews state, if you come for drinks you won’t be disappointed. Bravo. Did have some good conversation with the bartender as well once he was done doing his work on the computer. I did hear him engaging in educating other customers on different drinks and whiskeys as well, so nice to hear that passion. Definitely recommend.

The cocktails were great, but the service was disappointing. We were a small group of three, and the bar wasn’t busy, yet we felt overlooked. It was hard not to wonder if our experience was affected by the fact that we were the only non-white, non-Dutch speakers, as the other customers seemed to receive better service.

This is a beautiful cocktail bar. The atmosphere is lovely, the owner/bartender is incredibly knowledgeable. The drinks are top tier, the selection is fantastic. It gets busy, like busy busy, on the weekends. Don’t be a jerk - wait or go somewhere else. This is a small bar for people who really enjoy cocktails. One of my favorites in the world.

Small cocktail bar where the love for cocktails and Japanese Whisky is celebrated. Since it's currently closed due to it-which-must-not-be-named, they offer a delivery service, which is also highly recommendable! Of course the social component is missing, but if you are a cocktail fan, do try it :)

Very nice cocktailbar. The cocktailmaker didn't speak any Dutch but that didn't bother us. He was very informative and clearly knew his stuff. Our favorite cocktail was the lion's tail. We also ordered some Parma meat. This was a big quantity but I feel the quality could be better. Maybe give less meat but higher quality.

The staff is friendly, the coffee is good, the shop is great to read something or work with Laptop, the second floor is also good to have a seat.

While the matcha was a bit underwhelming and lacked the bold flavor you were hoping for, the shortcake was outstanding—perfectly made and truly delicious. The standout was the service: friendly, helpful, and respectful of dietary concerns. The staff went the extra mile to check ingredients, which is always appreciated. The interior was also lovely and inviting. Overall, a very good spot with room for improvement in the drinks.

Great place for working or studying. Most coffee shops are small/cozy with limited seating, but this is somewhere you can easily find space to work. Four different seating areas on the first floor alone, plus seating upstairs and outside. There are also outlets at the long table downstairs, which is a huge plus. Coffee is great (can’t speak for the food; didn’t order any—but they have a cheap breakfast + coffee option on the menu👍👍), and baristas are nice. Good music playing, and it’s not too loud. Also, no speakers in the area where I’m sitting (long table downstairs), which I love because it’s not distracting or too loud to take calls. WiFi is free/unsecured and seems to have a strong signal. No issues so far.

De Keuken van KEEK is a charming bakery and cafe located at the top of the Oudegracht. They take pride in using seasonal, organic ingredients to create delicious handmade food. The cozy shop offers a bright atmosphere with seating by the window where you can savor their delightful biological breakfast and enjoy a cup of The Golden Coffee Box coffee. Customers rave about their delectable croissants, sweet scones, and organic bread.
Great coffee spot on the canal with good scones. Love the little side window to serve guests who wish to sit outside as we did.

Great location and ambiance. Excellent for that small town, no laptop vibe, with hipster music. Unfortunately baked goods and teas are not to my liking. Croissants are perfect crunch outside but inside is thick like a brick. Ginger teas are very weak/warm water with ginger in them/very clear liquid (even after letting it soak for 15 minutes). Personal preferences though so others may enjoy the food and drinks.

Starting with such friendly staff and ending with a delicious apple tart. Highly recommend, small indoor but has some nice outdoor seating (benches for people watching). They are very attentive and the girl who took our order went through the effort to double-check the ingredients of the tart in their book for allergy issues. Big portions. The apple tart was very light, just right apple filling, not too sweet and crunchy base and top. The scones they have look promising too. We'll need to go back to try their coffee:)

KEEK on the Oudegracht is a cozy little spot to get a coffee and indulge in something sweet, such as scones with jam or a piece of cake. I had the carrot cake and their home made ginger lemonade, and I was happy with both. You can sit outside or inside or grab something to go.

Koffie Leute Brauhaus is a relatively new addition to Utrecht's coffee scene, but it has quickly made a name for itself. The focus here is on slow (filter) coffee, and the owners are passionate about educating customers on various coffee-making techniques and the subtle flavors of filter coffee beans.
Prob the best café in Utrecht 🥰 Great coffee and drinks, as well as desserts, they make some sandwiches too. Decor is super great, you have comfy sofas and chairs, you have tables, and smaller places for sitting as well, so everyone can find what they like. They also have a little corner where you can play games, I suppose it’s a playstation, but not sure :D Has a nice view of the canal too! Very cool place, definitely recommend! Staff is very kind and friendly.

Coffee was really good. But first the filter was warm, not hot — it was quickly replaced by fresh & hot 💕 I liked peanut butter sandwich a lot, a “no avocado” sandwich was strange and kinda empty, too light, and the egg was cold, we’d like it to be warm.. Overall I loved the place and the guys are really nice! Can’t wait to come there again🙂 Also we enjoyed a few board games, I almost started learning how to play chess..

The restaurant offers a refreshing atmosphere and high-quality food, including the Lebanese salad bowl with labneh yogurt and the rose cardamom cheesecake. Guests love the cozy vibes, stunning canal views, and carefully crafted dishes like poached eggs and pancakes.
Excellent food, well presented and balanced. Each dish was delightful and great value. The venue is located next to a canal so try to get a table near a window. The service was friendly although they did ignore us once we received the food. Maybe that's their style?

I liked all my food except the curry dish. Everywhere I travel, I end up eating Indian food for the spices, remind me of Mexico/ home. I had the curry dish and it was flat, very lack luster, tasted like tomato soup. Don’t get me wrong all the rest of the dishes were great and the pastries were to die for. The view of the canal is one of a kind and I enjoyed my experience at Tim… just avoid the curry dish if you like spices.

100% recommend this place. Cozy atmosphere where you can sit by the canal, tasty food and coffee. Loads of variety on the menu so you’ll definitely find something that you like. The Lebanese salad was delicious, fresh and filling. The Turkish eggs was a perfect delicate savoury breakfast option (I just wish the portion was a bit bigger or if they complemented the dish with something more).

My favourite place in Utrecht, the Hidden Gem of the coffee places. I've visited a lot of coffee places in Utrecht and this one is definitely the best. The atmosphere is very calm and chill. Man behind the bar (the owner, perhaps?) is super chill and amicable. Due to its remote location in the city it's fairly calm compared to some of the more popular places like The Village, 30mL or De Ontdekking, which is exactly my preference. the snacks are great and the coffee is fantastic. I love reading a book here.

Was excited about having breakfast here based on the great reviews. I was in there shortly after it opened and was the only customer at the time. Unfortunately, I found a long and very obvious strand of hair on the food as soon as it was brought out. Let them know and they apologised and said they'll get me a new one which they did. Halfway through, I found another piece of hair which made me question whether it was the original plate they just brought out again. Was horrified. I paid and left quietly. The rest of my day was kind of ruined as I thought about the bit of the pancakes I had eaten before finding the hair the second time. Wish I hadn't stayed to be served the same thing for the second time.

An incredibly cozy and pleasant bakery in the center of Utrecht. We stopped for breakfast, where we tried everything from scones to cinnamon rolls, banana bread, or carrot cake. Everything was wonderful. The banana and carrot delicacies were really moist, and the scone had a truly cheesy flavor. The service was also incredibly friendly and warm. And of course, I can't miss mentioning what is maybe the biggest highlight, which is the coffee, perfectly sour, yet very smooth and rich in flavor. For us, it was a perfect morning, and we're grateful for it!

KEEK is a must when in Utrecht! Try their two most popular baked goods - cinnamon roll and the KEEK scone. The scone is worthy of praise - moist, not too sweet and delightfully filling without being too dense. The cinnamon roll was similarly pleasant though the scone was more memorable for this reviewer. I’d return in a heartbeat to have both again and to try even more.

Beers & Barrels Utrecht offers a unique experience with tabletop mounted beer taps, allowing guests to pour their own pints without leaving their seats. The bar is located in a cave-like wharf and features billiards, darts, board games, and card games. Students appreciate the affordable beer prices. The venue also offers BBQ dishes and a DJ for entertainment. It's recommended to make reservations due to its popularity.
This is such a perfect canal-watching place - the draught beer selection is excellent and if you’re hungry, the platters of food are awesome. Keep in mind: the “plate for 2” could easily be shared between 3 people! It’s a lot of food. But really delicious. We ate here two nights in a row. Also to get a decent table we highly recommend coming before 6pm, it fills up quick on a sunny day!

Probably we just got a bit unlucky as we are with 6, and all dishes are brought all at once for each course. But the food was really really good. I had a vegetarian appetizer and vegetarian burger, and it was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the two homemade lemonage and it was great too! My friend who had a regular meat burger said that it was easily the second, if not the best burger he's ever had. Another order ribs, was quite a big portion but still tastes amazing. Just can't fault anything in terms of food really! The beer at the tap on the table was okay, but quite on the expensive side. It's expected I suppose for the experience of pouring your own drinks. Really wish the appetizers were a bit faster, that would really make the whole experience perfect.

Visited Beers & Barrels in Utrecht and had a good experience overall. The service was generally good, and we appreciated having proper seating available. The atmosphere was lovely — cozy, vibrant, and perfect for an evening out. They offer a great variety of beers, which made it easy to find something for everyone’s taste. One small note: the girl behind the bar seemed a bit tired and wasn’t the most service-minded, but it didn’t take away too much from the overall positive experience. Would definitely visit again!

We got the ribeye steak which was only ok, rather under seasoned and very thin. We've definitely done better at home on the grill. The salad we ordered was delicious but very different ingredients to what was on the menu so double check if you have allergies. The view of the canal was incredible though, right next to the water and very cool interior, being built into a cellar like space under the main buildings/street. The service was incredibly slow, even though we were there around 5, well before the main dinner crowd. Not sure if it's just the normal European pacing or if we were supposed to go inside to pay or what? It was a long time between them clearing all of our dishes and drinks away and being able to flag someone down to get the bill. You're mostly paying for the atmosphere and the view at this restaurant, the food is ok, not terrible but not amazing. Service very slow.

This former courthouse has been transformed into a nostalgic restaurant where guests can indulge in an array of dishes, from hearty breakfast options to exquisite risottos and fresh fish selections.
A wonderful place for a good time with friends or family over food! Was there with colleagues and I must say the vegetarian options served were really good. Very well presented, tasty and looked like they prepared it with lot of love! Staff were polite and friendly. Restaurant was completely packed for Wednesday evening and the ambiance is wonderful.

The food and service is great! For starters we had a salad and the tatami, both of which were delicious. For mains we had two types of meat (which was SO delicious) and the risotto (which was ok). And we finished with the Eton mess and the trio of chocolate for dessert. Both the desserts were SO GOOD! Will definitely go back.

Great place to come for a drink. Fantastic cocktails at very reasonable prices. I had the Smash and Dash, it was exactly as described in the menu. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too sour, it was a perfect refreshing drink while sitting next to the canal. I saw that they offer food as well and the inside of the restaurant also looks interesting so next time I'll be sure to try it. The service was friendly and quite fast as well.

Lightly spicy, sweet, sour, crunchy – everything is perfectly balanced. The food is served quite quickly and the service is also very good.

A Pleasant Surprise! We originally came just for drinks, and I have to say—the frozen Porn Star Martini was the best I’ve ever had! It was so good, we decided to stay for food, and I’m so glad we did. Everything was absolutely delicious—we even ended up repeating a few dishes! The entire experience was lovely.

My son's regular spot in Utrecht, so it was time to experience this for myself. Wasn't disappointed, great tasting food and attentive service. Nice ambience, since this is situated in 2 old wharf or cellars. Limited space, however they have done a superb job of using every inch of these. Professional staff and great music, extensive choice of cocktails, incredible. Outdoor seating is possible if the weather permits. Worthwhile visiting.

Teds All Day Brunch in Utrecht offers a delightful brunch experience with its prime location right by the canal. Especially on pleasant days, enjoying breakfast with a beautiful waterfront view creates a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The location and ambiance make it an ideal spot for those looking to take a peaceful break in the city. The staff are very helpful and attentive, ensuring a welcoming and friendly service. The service is generally fast and efficient, which enhances the overall brunch experience. However, there are some shortcomings when it comes to the menu. There is a noticeable discrepancy between the items shown on the menu and the dishes actually served. While the expectations are set high, some meals arrive looking quite plain or incomplete in terms of presentation and content. Overall, Teds All Day Brunch is worth considering for its beautiful location and charming atmosphere. However, the inconsistency between the menu and the actual dishes might be disappointing for some guests. If your main priority is enjoying a relaxed breakfast or brunch with a scenic canal view, this place can still be a good choice.

Great beer selection, great atmosphere, great bartenders.

As said, you should come to Prague and when you do, do get in touch. We can hang out or can give you some local tips at least!

I came here to eat lunch today and despite my gibberish English pronunciation, the service was great, the food delicious (a toasted sandwich with bell pepper, onions, ham and cheese plus a salad on the side).

Very cosy bar with decent choice of beers in a cool unique location ‘in’ the canal, in the centre of Utrecht. Sometimes bands play there, which I can definitely recommend. Young and friendly staff. Despite the hard work of the staff, it took quite a long time before you could order anything, perhaps it could be a bit better staffed on busy evenings.

Stopped here for a drink. They place has a nicely terrace just next to the canal so that you could enjoy your drink by the water. The menu is creatively published on vinyls which I found a pretty interesting idea. Drink menu is good, but I couldn’t find much interesting food. Overall I can recommend the place. What I didn’t like is people smoking all around, I felt like in other places it was not the case. But if you are a smoker you would enjoy it I guess?

Bagels & Beans offers a delightful breakfast experience with a variety of options to choose from. Whether you prefer sweet or savory, their freshly baked bagels with cream cheese and sides, along with yogurt bowls, smoothies, and power juices cater to different tastes. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great place to relax. While some visitors experienced slow service, the wide range of unique bagel options and fresh, carefully prepared food make it worth recommending.
Looking for a great vegan option while in Utrecht? Check out Bagels & Beans. We ordered the avocado with pesto/sun-dried tomato“cream cheese” on whole wheat bagel, the “Thai Chicken Chili” on whole wheat bagel, and the porridge pleasure. All vegan! The porridge is served with lots of nuts and seeds, dried fruit and cinnamon. It could use more oats to thicken the mix as we don’t think you should be able to drink porridge. The bagels were both excellent! But, we wish the lettuce served was fresh. Having browned bitter lettuce took away a bit from the flavor. We definitely can recommend this tasty spot for vegan noms in Utrecht! And we will visit again on our next trip.

Great breakfast option for bagels. You can choose between different kind of bagels and they also offer gluten-free options :) beside the salmon avocado bagel we had a matcha latte soy & an earl grey black tea (incl a little bit oat milk).

We visited Bagels & Beans on a Thursday morning, and were delighted to find the place practically empty, which made for a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who were quick to assist us with our orders. The breakfast bagels were impressive, with a wide variety of healthy options that didn't disappoint. Everything we ordered felt fresh and was prepared with care. We particularly enjoyed the "wild Alaskan salmon and avocado" bagel, which was generously topped with fresh ingredients and had just the right amount of creaminess from the avocado. The restaurant's location on Mariaplaats, one of the most beautiful squares in Utrecht, is an added bonus. The square hosts the stunning Conservatorium building, making it a lovely spot to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee. Overall, Bagels & Beans is an excellent choice for anyone looking for healthy, fresh food and a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the coffee and tea are top-notch, and the bagel options are endless. We highly recommend this charming restaurant for a quick bite or a leisurely meal in the heart of Utrecht.

Bagels were good, but we asked for some water to drink. They only had sparkling water in bottles,no more still water, so we asked for tap water. We were served 4 glasses of water, which was warm .

A limited menu. Although there's lots to choose from, most of the dishes are similar. We tried many things, but the peanut fries, ginger chicken, and asparagus were by far the nicest.

This is probably our favorite place to hang out with the girls and have a drink. The cocktails are always delicious, and on Thursdays there's a great promotion where cocktails are cheaper.

Booked for a little dinner on Saturday. Arrived early and asked could we start but was turned down as table ‘wasn’t ready’ fair enough. We wasn’t offered to wait with a drink, just sent away. We returned on time and placed on the same table that was free 30 minutes ago, still dirty. Ordered drinks and food. First dish came 15 minutes before any drinks arrived. Our drinks were served by the bar man reaching over from the bar, over the side of our table - not really etiquette I expect but atleast we finally got some drinks. Food comes out all random times which isn’t explained anywhere. Fries came without the toppings, had to chase down service to correct it, but they did. No one came to do a check back, no one came to ask to refill empty drinks. Service really hard to get any attention. One dessert arrived, then the other 15 minutes later - Considering we were a table of 2, that just isn’t acceptable. Food standard wasn’t high, probably all bought from frozen at Sligro to suit the busy environment (fair enough, but don’t expect much) The ‘snickers special’ dessert was abysmal - 3 poorly scooped (hollow scoops) with afew crushed nuts and a drizzle of caramel sauce. if the cooks cannot do a quenelle I expect a decent scoop of ice cream. We didn’t bother asking for another drink because we just wanted to leave. Service staff probably working long hours, busy night, probably no break so I can understand the lack of ‘good service’. So don’t expect any decent service if you come here. Really basic food, doesn’t taste bad but nothing you cannot buy yourself from the freezer section of the grocery store. The only good part of this evening was the fact it was bought on social deal, and was half the price it should of been. If you fancy a drink on a busy terrace, with slow un bothered service it’s fine. If you want some sort of nice dinner with adequate service, I would skip this. It should have been €88 for 1 wine, 1 alcohol free beer and 6 small dishes and 2 desserts - if you can call them that. Social deal we paid €56. I would not of paid full price.

I recently visited this place after purchasing a deal through socialdeal, but I must say I was deeply disappointed and would not consider returning. The service was incredibly poor, with staff exhibiting rude behavior such as giving us the nasty looks and rolling their eyes when I had questions.

Although the place has a cute ambiance, the overall experience was marred by the disrespectful service.

(Very) small restaurant/café but really cool. We went there for lunch without any reservation and, although they were expecting a larger group and had to free half of the tables (which meant that we had to swap our table about halfway through our lunch), the waitress did her best to find another cosy spot for us. The food was very tasty. They had 3 savoury and 2 sweet vegan options. I tried the mushrooms toast and the pumpkin stew, both delicious, and my friend had the croque madame, which she also liked a lot (although I must say that the slices of bread seemed very large to me). Overall a good experience and recommendable lunch option.

Overall, a good place with safe food options (healthy ingredients, vegetarian- and vegan-friendly). They have interesting pies and brunch choices. Their signature ingredient is, of course, rhubarb, and they know how to cook it. We liked everything we ordered, but I wouldn’t say anything was exceptional enough to give 5 stars. Cappuccino was good. They also have cocktails to make your brunch boozy, but I haven’t tried them. What I would improve is the atmosphere. It feels like it could use a bit of maintenance – my coffee plate was chipped, and the paint on some chairs was peeling. I would also improve the presentation of the cake stand; right now, it looks a bit messy in my opinion. But overall, I can recommend the place. especially if you’re looking for rhubarb. .

This used to be one of my favourite places during my student years in Utrecht, so I was excited to come back last Friday to relive some memories. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the cheesecake we ordered. The cake tasted distinctly burned, even though it was not immediately visible at first sight. It seemed as if whipped cream had been added on top to disguise the burnt layer. Once we removed the "slagroom," we saw that the top was indeed burned. In addition, there was too much crust compared to the filling, which made the cake unbalanced. But the most unpleasant aspect was still the burnt taste. I want to believe it was just an unfortunate day for the baker, but it did leave me wondering: isn’t there any quality check before serving cakes? Surely someone must have noticed the burnt top, or the baker themselves. Covering it with cream did not solve the problem—it only made it feel misleading. Sadly, I have to say this was the worst cheesecake I’ve ever tried. On a positive note, the service was correct (though not particularly warm), and the atmosphere remained as charming as always.

Quaint sweet cafe that serves vegan dishes. It’s been a while since I’ve wanted to come here and I’m pleased that it surpassed my expectations in how good the food is. The boekweitflensjes with prunes were original and combined with dukkah it created a nice balance in taste between sweet & salty. The frisse witte bones dip was even better. The geroosterde venkel (roasted fennel) was so well cooked and I couldn’t get enough of the way it was spiced. The complementing ingredients of salsa, seaweed and greek pita made it all come together ever so smoothly. Really enjoyed my meal and the staff are super friendly. Tot ziens.

PK Bar & Kitchen in Utrecht is an industrial-chic eatery offering a diverse menu of contemporary Dutch and global cuisine along with a variety of cocktails. The welcoming staff and picturesque canal-side seating make it an ideal spot for solo diners. The gourmet pub-style menu caters to both meat lovers and vegetarians, featuring dishes like a large vegetarian burger with thick-cut chips.
A great spot in the city center with a wide variety of options, so there's something for everyone. The sandwiches are delicious, and the portions are generous! The space is open and inviting, though it can get a bit crowded and noisy during peak hours.

Unlike the relatively fast-paced streets of Utrecht, this cozy American-style brunch spot offers a calm and chat-friendly atmosphere. The cheerful and friendly staff make the place feel even more welcoming. The kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer.

I walked in at 20:40 and was greeted with a surprise look of seeing someone that showed up that late and was informed the restaurant closes soon but I have time for one drink (even though I later noticed it’s open till 22:00). I asked for a large beer and got a small one instead. Staff looked as though they already signed out.

We were exploring Utrecht and stopped by here for a quick bite. We went in blind, but were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The service was a little slow, but very kind. The waiter recommended some good local favourites for us try. It was a little overpriced, but tasty nevertheless. Would stop by here for drinks again for sure.

I had Ice coffee and appeltaart. Because I'm allergic to nuts, I wanted to know if there was maybe nuts on or in them. The waiter looked rather aggitated. He didn't know. He got me the box so I could read the ingredients. He acted as if I was whining. Their Ice Coffee is very good!

Located in the heart of the city, a nice place to eat some snacks and have a good beer. We ordered some delicious bitterbalen and Kaassoufflé and fried sweet potato (which was good but we wanted the mayonese sauce apart, they put on top anyway). The upstairs toilet could be an issue for elderly or disable customers.

I made a spontaneous pit stop for a sandwich before delving into the city center. Surprisingly, it became the highlight of my day as the sandwich turned out to be delicious. With a vast selection of hot and cold cuts on the menu, I'll definitely be returning here in the future.

Awesome Italian sandwiches! Go for the classic one and don't forget to add some pickled pepper! You can ask the clerk to heat it up. Their Italian pizza, which looks nothing like an ordinary pizza, is also amazing! The pizza is filled with cheese and pepperoni.

Gys is a restaurant that caters to various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free and lactose intolerance. The staff is accommodating and patient when it comes to preparing safe meals. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner with mostly vegan options. The food is described as creative, delicious, and well-portioned. However, some customers have noted that the service can be slow at times. Despite this, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere with outdoor seating options.
Totally recommendable! The food was amazing, nearly everything had a vegan option and the service was super nice. Gys also seemed family-friendly, we got free lemon infused water and the prizes are really affordable. Loved it!

Amazing spot for gluten free and plant based food. The whole menu is gluten free, so perfect for celiacs. We sat out on the terrace on a lovely warm evening and had the sharing deal for 2 - 8 of the small plates - which turned out to be tons of food! Excellent service and a good selection of low alcohol beer if you are into that. Definitely recommend!

Almost everything is plant-based 💚 we had the breakfast platter and the vegan ricotta was a positive surprise (I don’t usually like vegan cheeses), the cheesecake was just perfect. The atmosphere is calm and chill, and the staff attentive and efficient

The food looked amazing, but we were a bit disappointed. Nearly a year ago, it was so much better. This time, the dishes weren’t hot enough, and something from the menu was missing. No one told us beforehand, and we only realized it after the meal arrived and asked.
Anna-Lena — Google review
I was recommended by my friend and I was not disappointed. I ordered sunflower risotto and I really liked it. The menu is very different but also interesting and delicious. It's a vegetarian/ vegan restaurant, so it was good for me as I am also lactose intolerant. The ambiance was also good, though I didn't get a chance to sit outside as it was raining. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something new to try.

They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner - almost everything is vegan, and everything is gluten free!! I’ve been coming here for over three years & it’s always delightful. The food is creative and always tasty, portions are good and staff is friendly! Only dish I would avoid: the pancakes. My go to: Shakshuka 🤤
David D — Google review
Food was fairly tasty but honestly the service was shocking. The young girl serving us was cheerful but clueless about almost everything. She needed constant chasers for drinks and food orders, and then she served my (sober) friend with alcohol beer - which she drank before realising - after she’d clearly ordered 0.0. There are far better veggie places to go in Utrecht so we won’t be back.
Toni C — Google review
Sooo good! I ordered Gys cilbir and even before tasting, the aroma of the spices already got me. Then I tasted it and just loved it. Everything in the dish was flavorful and you can really tell the ingredients are high quality. Now, don’t expect a very large portion, but it was still so satisfying! I also tried one of the juices and the cake of the moment – if I could, I would just keep ordering more dishes. The atmosphere inside and outside is really nice, and the staff are very pleasant. Super recommended, and waiting to come back

A very cozy and authentic place that offers classic Dutch cuisine. A special option is the stone grill in which you get an assortment of meats and vegetables to put on a scalding hot piece of marble by yourself. It's an interesting experience which adds very pleasant atmosphere. Decent craft beers are available. Nice dessert options.

Very friendly waitress, however even such good hospitality can't compensate for lackluster food. We had the ribs (default pressed meat), and a steak (very chewy, despite being medium-rare). Is it bad food? Not specificly, however for the amount of money you pay, it'll leave you unimpressed.
BattleX — Google review
Lovely place right by the Canal. They didn't have an English menu yet as they had just changed the menu but the waiter explained what everything was and how they could adjust for my husband who is a coeliac. They also didn't have a kids menu but he told us what they could do which was fine and it was half the price of an adults meal. The steaks were lovely and nice to get the chips in the paper cone - A traditional Dutch style. My son enjoyed his chicken nuggets and my daughter loved her child steak portion! Was good service and would definitely recommend. The kids even got an ice block at the end instead of choc mints - A really nice touch for a family.

Went there with social deal for the stone grill. Quite a lot of meat and vegetables but the quality of the meat is mediocre. The sauces are rather boring as well. It was good value with the deal but I'm not interested to go back again.
Mengshu T — Google review
This a cozy restaurant for a team or associates hanging out after work. Watch out for the hot Stones when they are brought to the table. Also do not put pepper on the stones otherwise there will be a room full of pepper smoke. Overal the ambience is nice. Takes Abit longer for food to come out so if you do not like waiting about 20 - 30 min you will miss out on a great DIY BBQ experience

This charming café offers a delightful atmosphere where quality food and drinks are complemented by friendly service. Diners can enjoy their meals on the terrace while soaking in views of the lively street scene below.
It's so lovely place to enjoy Belgium and Dutch beer. Nacho is also very good. But they don't have English Menu.

3.5 star actually, but not possible. The open hour wasn’t really accurate. The restaurant is only open for dinner and Saturdays (if I recall correctly) so i was a bit disappointed since the available food menu was just the sandwiches. The sandwich itself is mediocre, it was okay. The good thing about this place is the friendly staff and the good decorum of the interior. It also has a good view of the church and at noon it’s nice to see the sun

Amazing location! The cocktails are great! Admittedly, they are a bit expensive. Beers aren't the cheapest you'll find, but they won't break the bank either. I'm a big fan of their mojito! The ambience is great! There are some really nice launching areas, and the decor is interesting. There's also a place for groups upstairs with plenty of room. Most off the staff is super friendly and helpful!

Location is a fairly busy area which means you have a lot to look at when sitting outside on the comfy terrace. The tables are spaced far enough from each other which gives enough privacy to hold a conversation. Staff is friendly, service is fast. Small lunch menu with enough variety.

Please walk a few steps further from the church, there are many better restaurants there. Do not come to this restaurant. It's so true that this restaurant is rated so low. Very poor service and very poor food. Ordered a panini hot chicken. It was very salty. I told the waitress about it, and she said it was my personal taste and no customer had complained to them. She also said she had this for lunch and had no problem with it, then she turned around and left, ignoring us.

We popped over for a quick lunch and really enjoyed ourselves. On a sunny day the location above the main Utrecht water channel is picturesque. A great place to sit and people watch. Very friendly waiter and waitresses. All the food was very tasty and in nice portion sizes. The cost of the food was a smidgen higher when compared to nearby restaurants but the outside seating is worth it.
Carson G — Google review
Very weird that there's an "alcohol-free" section divided by barely anything. What's the point? We watched multiple people sit in this unmarked "section" for quite a while, waiting to get served, only to be told they can't drink alcohol there and have to either move or leave if there's no other tables available. Very weird. Also, overpriced.

Was charged 19,20 for 3 small paper cups of gluwein. If the owners feel comfortable charging this much money for a little bit of (poor tasting) gluwein, I would not trust the rest of their business. Would recommend to avoid.

Incredibly SALTY food, I've never eaten something so salty that it became bitter... I was hungry, but it didn't make me feel good afterwards. Fine place maybe for a beer, but also don't expect too much from it. While paying at the couter you're expected to know your table's number, so be aware of that.

We came here to enjoy the new filipino food on the menu (e. g. my friend had adobo!). The portion size is large and super tasty! Great to taste something authentic. The staff were also really nice! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
