Fun Dutch pancake restaurant in a rustic fun farmhouse type setting. One should eat outdoors on the patio in good weather but indoor Seating can be reserved. Amazing variety of pancakes ranging from sweet fruity concoctions to omelette-like, pizza-ish and other flavors, all in a single plate sized pancake. There are half and half choices like a pizza. I had half apple/raisin and bacon/cheese - tasty! The pancakes are more like crepes than American flapjacks so are lighter and less volume although still a good sized meal. There are apparently other excellent entrees but this is a place for pancakes. There are English menus upon request. Good service, and groups not a problem.

Wow, this restaurant - from the inside - truly gives you the impression of being in Indonesia! Everything breaths the tropics.
They offer 2 completly different dining options; the Chef's menu (quality food with an Indonesian touch) or the Indonesian rijsttafel that you would expect from an Indonesian restaurant. We went for the Rijsttafel Bandung; perfect food but way too much. That was a pity. This was also due to the fact that the starter was a full meal on its own.
The service was good and welcoming when we arrived, but lacking when we wanted to pay. Small point to improve.
Others mentioned it as well; the location is really NOT where you would expect the restaurant to be; in the middle of an ugli residential area.
Should you be staying in or around Zeist; go and check this place out yourself!!

Beautiful inside this converted church. Very busy on Saturday lunchtime- there are some seats upstairs too at the back. Food came quickly and was tasty (note the meatball Sandwich is actually meatballs with a side of bread). Service was good although the table was still...MoreThanks for your review Thanks for your review ;) ^Olivier

The weather was just too nice to pass up the opportunity to try this place. All outdoor tables were occupied, but as I was alone they managed to find a place for me. (First points.)
Chef's choice (Peter Jobse) menu, reasonably priced, paired with two wines, interesting description - I couldn't resist.
"Amuse bouche" dish of baked bread / crackers accompanied by a foamed butter. Very nice.
Each dish was well balanced, obviously the result of research, trial and effort. Very impressive.
The service was good, especially given the fact that I was 'in excess' of their booking capacity.
The wine pairings were well matched to the dishes.
Overall a very pleasant surprise, an excellent dinner at a reasonable price.

I love good Italian restaurants, especially if situated in my hometown ? San Siro offers high-class Italian food (no pizza) and a very nice atmosphere. Can recommend it to anyone who likes a good night out.

Inspired by the French concept of "Table d'hotes", we serve a different five course menu for our guests, every day. In C'est Ca we always make use of organic meat, MSC certified fish and only purchase fresh seasonal produce for our daily changing dishes. We don't have complicated menus to choose from, but offer a delicious high quality 5 course meal for all to enjoy.

Absolutely loved this experience! They were full but was able to sit us quickly. Our two waitresses were extremely friendly. This restaurant has a surprise menu but they are very attentive to your dietary restrictions. Service was quite slow but the food made up for it, best meal I've ever had!

This is such a beautiful establishment with elegant rooms I was unnecessarily worried that the dinning experience would not live up to expectations.
The chef conducts his preparation with such technique and skill the food was sumptuously presented and tasted better.
Three amuse bouche followed by eel then lobster and brill I was delighted. Each ingredient lovingly sourced, prepared and presented fine dining indeed. Service was informed relaxed attentive and coordinated.
The best meal I have had in Utrecht, Amsterdam and many other countries. This was a culinary tour de force a perfect way to introduce my starving student daughter to oysters, pigeon, sweet breads and good wine.

Italian artisanal ice cream, locally made. Every day at least 26 flavours with one limited edition; mai prima.
Reviewed By RalphUtrecht - Utrecht
Roberto is an icecream lover that has turned his love for icecream into his profession. We visit Roberto's a lot, and reallly every visit we are surprised with another flavour that goes beyond imagination. Stay away from the regular vanilla and strawberry stuff. (You can get that elsewhere). Be surprised by Rabarber with rosemary ice, Aperol ice, Champagne ice and other remarkable surprises. Be prepared for a waiting line. But they are there for a reason ;-)

We zijn jong en innovatief, maar koken met respect voor de Franse keuken. Een bezoek aan De Witte Zwaan is een belevenis. Natuurlijk ligt bij ons de focus op het eten. Maar gastronomie bij de Witte Zwaan is veel meer dan dat. Wij zorgen met ons hele team voor een ontspannen avond genieten van creatieve gerechten. Geen stijve toestanden. Plezier bij onze gasten, daar zorgen we voor!

Had dinner in this former brasserie. Over the years the restaurant has really upgraded to fine dining restaurant. The service is professional and kind. The food is excellent and of high quality.
They like to make some experiments with their foods. One is more successful than the other. But, no doubt, it all has been given serious attention of a staff who loves their job.
The only critical remark is the bill. Given the nature of our dinner the price was close to 50% higher what one should reasonably expect.
