Our group had the Pad Krapow, Truffled croissant and the Steak Sandwich. Pad Krapow was a 3/5. Not that it wasnt good, but it was also not phenomenal. It was filling and the spice level was great, a bit of crunch could really elevate the dish. It felt more like a comfort foot than a food you'd get at this place. The Steak Sandwich was good. One of the people that ordered it noted that they didn't ask him how done he'd like his steak. It was also a small portion and the steak was not warm enough. The bread was too thick for the proportions and those that got it couldn't agree if it should have been crispier or softer, but both agreed it could be improved. Both people that got it gave it a 3/5. The croissant was good, the person that got it gave it a 4/5. The croissant was very soft and scrambled eggs. Overall good experience!

The staff here were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for me and although i opted for a standard B&B burger (usually opt for some chilli laden affair that leaves my mouth dying and numb) it tasted fantastic. The venue itself looks great and has awesome atmosphere. Seems as though u can have a table with your own beer pump!! Cant recommend this place enough.

I had a Pornstar Martini, which I found ok, but my friend's Mojito was actually very tasty, even though I normally don't like those (all those weeds in my drink, juck) I was pleasantly surprised to find this one quite to my licking.. euh liking ;) Personal was nice but a little aloof. Might depend on their mood that evening. I really liked the atmosphere of the place. Trendy design, lots of wood, and funny free Boomerang cards. Always fun ^^

Pretty solid and busy crowd on the weekend - but a bit narrow so it's hard to navigate or gather unless you have a seat. Save yourself the disappointment (and EUR 8) and skip the cocktails. We tried both the caprioska and ginger margarita and were disappointed before we even had a chance to swallow. Oh well, maybe some place in Utrecht will come through one day, and no raketjes do NOT count :).

Het Muzieklokaal is a music café in Utrecht that I heard about when it opened just over a year ago…read moreand finally had the chance to visit. Such a cool idea, it's a normal enough cafe but then with a grand piano in the middle. Why? Because they regularly have performances here by musicians and ensembles! I came on Sunday, where their regularly scheduled classical music hour happens from 16.00 to 17.00. My excuse for coming was that an old friend of mine was playing, but I was also curious to see the café. It was very busy but the waitstaff quickly came and took my order at my table. It took a while for my coffee to arrive but it was fine. A little before 16.00 the musicians appeared and started to tune their instruments. When they were ready to play the proprietor whistled to get everyone's attention and introduced the artists. The concert is in principle 2x20 mins with a 20 min pause in between. During the concert everyone stayed silent and listened (or continued to work on their computers) and the staff came around with drink orders for anything except coffee or tea - because the coffee machine makes too much sound to use during the concert! Overall I found the atmosphere really nice. I was really impressed how attentive the audience was, and it's such a nice relaxed and informal atmosphere to experience classical music in. Families came with their small children so they could look at the instruments close up, university students took a break from writing papers to listen to Bach, and there were quite a few people who came specifically for the concert. They have all sorts of concerts and activities so I highly recommend checking out the agenda on their website. But if you love music, coffee, and cocktails, then this is your place!!!!!

They all have come to appreciate that I don't drink beer or wine and that I'm more of a go hard or just don't go kind of girl; meaning that I either drink water or go straight for the hard liquor. They've also come to appreciate that this is pretty much the only bar in town that serves decent shots and other things I will drinks for decent prices. And what I've really come to appreciate is the amazing, friendly staff who come out here on their nights off for some drinks with their friends and who are starting to recognise me and my order, I always love that kind of stuff! So, 't Neutje is definitely my kind of bar and if you're ever in Utrecht, send me a text/message and we'll hang out! Here!

When something is called a festival you'd expect a bit more than just one small stage and a few…read morefood and drink stands. Sadly that's all the Utrechts Jazz Festival is. Don't get me wrong, I loved the music which is why I'm still giving the thing a second star, but it's really nothing to keep yourself busy with all day unless you're just their to drink cocktails or a few beers in the sunshine. The music itself seems to be a second rate attraction to the drink stands and fades into the background rather than being the star. To sum it up: nice to stumble apon and hang around for a few minutes, but not worth your time to specially come here. Make sure you have something better to do in the city as well. Or just enjoy the drinks all afternoon, you could do that too if you're not pregnant or breastfeeding like I am.

Ok, fine, whatever, we ordered Jameson on the rocks with a glass of tap water. And then... my water was full of soap, all bubbly like you'd think it was sparkling but no it was just soap. I watched the barman handle all the washing. He does it right on the bar top, washing in a soapy bucket, then shaking them off and letting them drip dry. If you notice, I don't mention him rinsing anything off. He doesn't. I didn't know soap beer was a thing, but apparently it's the specialty cocktail here.
