Top 10 Seafood food in Utrecht, Utrecht Province, The Netherlands
Reviews on Seafood food in Utrecht, Utrecht Province, The Netherlands. This ancient and historic city houses many buildings going back to the early Middle Ages. Until it was overtaken by Amsterdam in the Dutch Golden age, Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands. It was and still is the See of the Archbishop of Utrecht, the most important Catholic leader in the Netherlands. The University of Utrecht is the largest in the Netherlands. One of the unique features of the city is the wharf system in its inner canals. Before the city was fully canalized, parts of the Rhine River flowed through the city center. Most prominent of the historic buildings is the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Martin, the construction of which lasted for almost 200 year, beginning in 1254.

I arrived early on a Friday evening at Goesting, surprised by the location and architecture. The restaurant was still empty, but as the evening went on it filled up to capacity. The atmosphere is relaxed, but the service is very attentive. My friend and I shared Utrecht charcuterie as a starter, and I then had a delicious veal steak tartare with a choice of how I would spice it from a range of ingredients. I will certainly come back and look forward to visiting the terrace this summer!

We were recommended Blij as we were staying close but it is worth a trip from the City centre. It is a small restaurant so do book ahead and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food is however the star of the show. They suggest two small starters and two small main courses rather than one of each. This is great because you sample many more dishes yet donât get full or feel greedy. We went for a three course ( five dish) meal for around 25 Euro. By the central canals this gets you a main course! The other nice part is that once you get your table you can settle in for the evening. We were there three hours and no one rushed us at all.Excellent Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Hope to see you back again soon <3

I had an asparagus and scallops starter and then their rib eye steak. Not a cheap meal but it was absolutely wonderful. I will never forget the taste of that starter!!!!! I normally take my steak rare but this was cooked through somehow while retaining the flavour of the meat. So tender you didnât need a steak knife. It literally melted in your mouth. I was there by myself at the bar but my waitress really looked after me. What a great restaurant. Thanks!

We visited this delightful small restaurant in Utrecht for dinner. It was buzzing with activity but relaxing. Most of the clientele was Dutch. We were warmly welcomed in faultless English. We chose the three course surprise menu and were served a mackerel starter, venison main course and chocolate dessert with a well balanced flight of wines. Service was friendly and knowledgeable.Thank you for your positive review. It is always great to hear that also our international guest have appreciated our service and food. We hope to be able to welcome you back another time.

This park is delightful. We strolled through on our way to the Reitveld-Schroeder house. The flowers were beautiful. The entire town seemed to cycle through. On our way back, we stopped for wine at the park restaurants. Really beautiful. We were sorry we weren't hungry for a meal. The smells from the kitchen were enticing.

Based on reviews here in TripAdvisor I went there for some seafood. We got a nice table by the window, the restaurants cat was resting in the window, very friendly and relaxed. I asked for âProeverij Het Zuiden â Several Fishfilletâ and my friend went for âDry Age Rib-Eyeâ. Both where very good, the service was excellent and atmosphere great on a Friday evening. Prices are reasonable.

We re-visited this restaurant with high hopes. I used to eat in this restaurant a lot about 15-20 years ago when this was the top Indonesian restaurant in Utrecht. I am afraid that my experience this time was the complete opposite to the ones I have had previously, and this restaurant has definitely moved to the bottom place.We were shocked with the service and although the staff were friendly, they were totally out of there comfort zone and seemed unexperienced and unprofessional. I was very surprised that the quality level of food was so different than it used to be.We were extremely disappointed with the overall experience and I have made the following list of issues, some small and some big, but my main complaints are really about the food, which was extremely disappointing for me.We had different sate's for starters and for main course a small rijsttafel and Ikan Bali.1. The 35 euro's bottle of wine we ordered was put in a bucket of tap water without any ice, so the wine was at room temperature.2. The flowers on the table were fake and the table cloth was only a small strip covering the centre of the table.3. There was a mismatch of all different crockery and glasware.4. We had to wait about 50 minutes in between starters and main course.5. During our dinner there was a constant coming and going of food delivery moped drivers, which I found rather annoying as they pass the tables with large plastic bags and helmets on their way to deliver the food orders. This was I think the reason why there was a 50 minute wait between starter and main course. It felt that the food deliveries are almost more important than the dining guests in the restaurant.6.The sate ajam was very thinly sliced and totally bland, it didn't have the griddle/grill marks on it and wasn't marinated at all, the sate sauce on this was tasteless and very thin and watery.7. The very expensive sate kambing, normally my favourite, was definitely not goat as advertised, but instead a cheap shortcut was taken and thin slices of tough dry mutton was used, there was no doubt about it. This was my main issue of the evening as I felt being lied to.8. The ikan bali, mackerel in chili sauce, had a nice spicy flavour but the sauce was watery and the fish was dry, my question was how can mackerel be dry?9. The atjar tjampur was underpickled.10. The gado gado had a lot of watery beansprouts in it and again, the peanut sauce on top was thin and tasteless.I could live with all these complaints but for a bill of 114 euro's I feel that these complaints are valid.

I went to this restaurant because of the really good reviews here in tripadvisorThe food gets 3 1/2 stars. The meat was cooked well but all in all it didn't blow my mind. The antipasta plate is OK, but it lacked freshness and ideasThe atmosphere gets 3 stars. Tables are placed wherever is space in restaurant. In the front, at the bar and in the back. Like a lot of restaurants here the place is basically run and managed by students.The wine gets 2 stars. To pay 27euros for a nero s'avolo with a screwtop, which comes in retail for 6 or 7 euros is not worthy a decent italian restaurant. Also most other wines served comes in a screwtop. I have no issue when white wine comes like this, but for red, no please. Also the wine tasted like 6 Euros, without body, aroma and taste. You are better off ordering beer.

Wow! Thereâs not much to say. The only going for this place is the location and the ambiance. The service was shocking! The waitress admitted to forgetting to put my order in, then tried to charge me full price for the meal when I finally got the bill. A shrimp and mango salad shouldnât have taken an hour to make. And after all this, it wasnât very nice. Far too oily, which detracted a lot from the flavours. I donât think Iâll be going back.
