The entree was nice but the tomahawk had no taste while it was overpriced for the provided serving. Service was a bit slow but they were friendly. The menu is limited but provides something for most tastes. Not sure if I want to come back.

This small Frech restaurant tucked away on a side street in Utrecht has become my favorite place to…read morego for a special or celebratory meal. It's a small restaurant that seats maybe 15-20, so definitely call ahead for a reservation. I've been four times, and only once has there been a waitress serving diners. All of the other occasions the kind chef-owner was the one who did everything. It's so nice to see him in the kitchen preparing and cooking each individual order. The menu is small, usually a choice of out of three starters, three main courses, and a choice of two desserts or cheese platter. Dishes can be ordered individually, but I prefer the prix-fixe option. The menu changes occasionally, but some of my favorite dishes include the escargo, the duck breast with a caramel coriander sauce (omg so good), the lamb shank. I also had what was probably the best cheesecake of my life here, though with that said I've not been disappointed with any of their desserts. The mango tiramisu was another standout option. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Everything is delicious and prepared with such attention to detail that it wows me each time. The owner is incredibly gracious and a true master of his craft.

Had the most extraordinary french meal at this quaint, 12yr old restaurant. A true gem of Utrecht…read more Our group all ordered the prix-fixe menu (reasonably priced at 32E) also given a wonderful wine recommendation by the gentle, attentive owner. Take your date out, or step up your dinner game. Whatever the occasion, this is one to add to the checklist. (Pro-tip: the restaurant is rather small, call or make reservations in advance.) For our first course we had a wonderfully cured, smoked salmon with a creamy salad of bay shrimp. Venison was the main course; perfectly seared over a bed of roasted potatoes and garnished with a refreshing celery root puree. Rounded off by the most divine dessert (we had a choice between a mango sorbet but who can resist warm profiteroles sandwiching vanilla ice cream AND doused in rich chocolate sauce??). Plus they didn't even have to make us choose between rich chocolate sauce or creamy caramel..you get the best of both worlds! What an epiphany. Dreaming of my next visit.

If I am not mistaken, this is the new location of former "Restaurants des Arts" (Boterstraat)…read more It is the location and the beautiful dining room overlooking the gracht that first caught my eye. It looked so nice inside that I tried it first chance I got. It was PERFECT! My family and I spent a lovely evening, in a great place, with the best food I had in a long time. Everyone loved their food. As for me, I went for the beef filet, which in my opinion, is a classic and that can either great or disappointing. Well, it was great!! We also trusted the 'wine of the month' selection and were not disappointed. Crème brûlée as a dessert, another classic, also absolutely on point. Cold under, warm above, crispy crust, exactly as it should be and with an amazing vanilla flavor. On top of the great food and great location, the staff was delightful. Smiling, available and helpful. Un sans faute!

There were eight of us, and the restaurant acomodated every request, from allergy issues to a sudden addition to our party. The food was, indeed, excellent, and once we'd explained that we wanted some fish or other protein with the vegetables, it was no problem. There's also a plant store attached, and wonderful displays of plants and small trees. I particularly liked the mandarin oranges growing in a large pot along the walkway into the indoor portion of the restaurant. If I had one quarrel, it would be that all the food was a bit "precious". I don't know how to explain it better than that. Perhaps they're hoping for a Michelin rating? It looked lovely, it tasted fine, but it was not extraordinary - just good. And, it was quite expensive - for a party of eight, at lunch, with no liquor, the basic menu, cost was well over 300 EU. I'm sorry but that seems like quite a bit for a 3 course meal that was almost all vegetables, no matter how beautiful or well harvested. And as much as I understand eating slowly, enjoying the company, we all felt three hours was a bit long for a lunch. To be fair, about 45 minutes of that was us deciding on menus, and later, enjoying our coffee, but service is really, really, slow!
