"Great place to dine, with good foods and nice atmosphere. Especially when you get an outdoor table. Foods are really nice, with generous portions.
Service also friendly and nice. Prices also reasonable. Overall, a great place to eat!"
Alan Karyono
"Fast service, great food, very decent pricing, and charming setting. There was self-service for fresh water with ice cubes and lemon (very appreciated on a sunny day!) which was for free. The apple crumble with caramel ice cream was especially wonderful. It was the drawing of the crumble on the chalkboard that pulled me in, so the artist did a good job!"
Chloé Peyrègne
"One of the best place in Utrecht in summer time. Next to water. You can have nice fresh water with lemon ment ice. Personal nice and fast."

Restaurants in Utrecht
This place is on Ledig Erf, one of Utrecht's small squares, which becomes a hive of energy and is filled with huge shade umbrellas when the sun comes out. The café's tables spill over the bridge, so you can sit overlooking canalside gardens as you tuck into basic rolls and salads at lunch or steaks and burgers in the evening.

De kade langs de Oosterkade is dé spot voor zonaanbidders die liever wat lekkers van huis meenemen. Maar je kunt natuurlijk ook een ‘koffie to go’ of ‘take away maaltijd’ bestellen. Heerlijk chillen op de kade en zwaaien naar de boten die langs varen.
