Will go back to try more of the wines. Given the link w/ restaurant Pastinaeck - just across the square - this is a great place to wait for your table or just unwind after the meal. Recommendation; the Grüner Veltliner.

This spot is good for literal nibbles, as the portions are quite small IMHO. Just stuck to wine. Delicious. There was some questionable behavior by the waiter that I didn't approve of. Otherwise okay spot.

My absolute favourite is LaVilette, the best Chardonnay i know. Every time whe in Utrecht I stop by to have a glass (or two, maybe three...).

The one they were serving when I was there was a beet based burger with pomegranate sauce and aged cheese. Deliciousness!!!! A burger comes with fries or salad and is filling. The service is very friendly and attentive. Our waitress was amazing, made us laugh and was very quick with orders and suggestions of drinks and meals. They have seating outside and inside and seem to be very popular amongst locals. They are good for groups too-we were 5 and easily found a table on Sat night. Loved the visit to this place.

This is the kind of bar you want to be able to walk home from…read more To begin with, we almost missed this delightful local charmer. We looked in and saw only one person sitting quietly at the bar. It looked dead and we decided to move along. A half block later something strange happened as we felt a cosmic pull back to the bar. Turning around we went in and the rest of our life changed. Cafe de Singel turned out to be a singularly special moment in our trip to Amersfoort. So much so that I hesitate to write this as it is someplace we want to hold dear to our hearts and not really share..... This Brown Cafe transcends the typical and elevates itself into it's own category. Replete with the standard dark interior, eclectic decorations (this time of antique flying machines) and an under spoken street scene what opens up inside can only be described as pure gezellig. To put it simply we stopped in for a drink and ended up spending 3 1/2 hours here, made at least 15 new friends and not only learned the low down on Amersfoort but listened to great music and had a kick-ass good time. We were happy and will be back. PS The bar snacks are outstanding.
