Highly recommended!

De Babbelaer is relatively hidden place at Hoog Catherijne, Utrecht's main trainstation & shopping…read moremall. It's located near the Media Markt. It has outdoor seating (which means: in the mall) and a simple but cozy indoor restaurant. It doesn't look like much, but they have great sandwiches. Lots and lots of choice in toppings. When I worked in the vicinity, this was one of the places where I would have lunch with my colleagues. They also have a take-away counter, if you are in a hurry and want to skip the StarBucks line. This best-kept secret will serve you quicker because it's less known. Also, they have a bathroom. Which is hard to find in the central station, and can be a life saver! By the way, they server killer iced coffees. Served in these big, old fashioned milkshake glasses, it made me feel as if I walked right into the set of Grease (and back in time!). It tasted amazing, but beware, it's heavy stuff! Very nice place for a coffee and sandwich.

What a find! Great authentic Thai food in a takeout restaurant!…read more We were impressed by the cleanliness, you could look straight into the kitchen where a bunch of people were cooking orders. As they did have a few tables we asked if we could dine in, which was allowed. Most people were coming in to order or pick up. It was busy and our food took a while, but it was a pleasant place - nothing fancy but so much going on. We both ordered vegetarian red curry, and they didn't disappoint our taste buds! Delicious bowls of steaming curry with a decent sized amount of rice. We had ordered the regular seasoning but learned that we could order normal, spicy, very spicy and Thai spicy. The normal was very good; next time we'll try spicy! We were allowed to bring in a beer from "the Butler" - a spirits boutique a few doors down that is their beer and wine supplier. We wanted to taste a beer by a regional brewery, which they didn't sell at the restaurant. The artwork on the can of the beer is designed by a tattoo artist from Harderwijk who now has a business in Amsterdam. Very cool! And good tasting beers. The restaurant itself offers Thai beers and other beverages. The owner visited us in the end to see if we had liked our meal. She and her husband opened the restaurant two years ago and have been busy since. She told us delivery can be a problem but clientele is obviously not! We'll be back for more!

I called on Monday and booked a table for two for Wednesday…read more Make sure you make a reservation, the restaurant is small only 16 people can dine there, so you HAVE to have a reservation. We ordered sashimi omakase, followed by the roasted duck, tuna with miso sauce, tempura, deep fried salmon, tea, water and house cold sake. All food is simple, yet flavourful, made with so much care that it brings joy to your taste buds. I am a big fan of Japanese cuisine, traveled throughout Japan for a few months, and was looking for a place in Amsterdam to satisfy my sashimi cravings. Total was 170 euro

Very disappointed with the place and the attitude! There is a sign on the door saying 'today only…read moreby reservation'. Well, apparently, it's every day by the reservation only and this crucial piece of information is not stated on the website, on the google maps or in any of the descriptions. After entering a half empty small restaurant and asking to be seated was told that all tables are reserved. There was plenty of space at the 'bar' and on my idea to sit there got a refusal saying 'there are no chairs'. When I came up with a solution to that saying there's a table with 3 chairs with only 2 people having dinner and we can borrow their chair was refused again with another excuse of 'not enough ingredients' as if with the reservation they also take a pre-order for the food...Extremely disappointed!! Was thinking to find a new favorite place for Japanese food as eating out almost every evening but will never go back to the place where they are not welcoming and narrow minded, and instead of finding solutions are finding excuses!! In Japan this would never happen!! Attaching also a reply on the same review I have posted on TripAdvisor

Four of us had dinner at De Markt. We all ate salads (including the "mista") and pasta dishes…read more (Mine was the tagliatelle with duck.) Each of us was happy with what came to our table. De Markt has a perfectly reasonable selection of wines by the glass; there were also at least four beers on tap as well as plenty of bottled beers. I had a draft beer by Brouwerij Maximus; I'm pretty sure that it was the brutus. I basically loved the beer -- one piece of evidence for this is that I ordered a second glass immediately after finishing the first one. De Markt is nice inside (where we sat). The servers were friendly and came over quickly when our pitchers of tap water were empty or when looked as though we were otherwise needy.
