Karel 5 is a very nice bistro located in the Karel V Hotel, in Utrecht. As a hotel guest, one night I decided to go down and just have something to eat before continuing with my work. What a nice surprise! Such a beautiful and charming bistro, "hidden" in the backyard of the hotel, with a non-complicated and nice menu. My choice was a Caesar salad, which was beautifully presented and showed to be absolutely delicious! Wine served by the glass is not always a good experience, but...no complaints. It was also correct. I recommend!

We managed to get a table in the bar area, hidden away in a quiet corner. It made a big difference to usual - it's very noisy, sometimes unbearably so. Food and drinks were nice although the veggie menu was very boring this time. Staff are always lovely.

they have a monthly standard menu: all you choose is the number of courses you'll have. The plates were creative, well combined, well presented and largely tasted very good. Service was attentive but not overly present - and also not overly informal, as is otherwise often the case in the Netherlands. The wine pairings all worked, and I am fussy about that. None of the wines were spectacular in their own right, but they were good, and they worked with the food. So a thoroughly enjoyable evening

The chef of Concours works every day only with fresh, organic products from farmers with the same passion of taste and quality. So there is no menucard. The chef will surprise you with his fine, delicious dishes of the menu of the day.

You do not need menus here, and there aren't any. Taking a seat in this lovely small restaurant is like buckling up for a mystery magic carpet ride for the taste sensation - every dish is a joyful adventure. Attentive service and attention to detail is ever present with regard to food and drink. Guests can choose a 3- or 4-course seasonal menu, let the staff know about your allergies/dietary restrictions and then zoom ... you're off. Amuse bouche arrives to set you up for the adventure ahead. Excellent matching wines can be served with each course for extra. Superb restaurant, cosy atmosphere; it feels like dining with friends. Bring someone here if you want to impress, to celebrate an event, or just to enjoy the culinary calisthenics. Highly recommended - will come back here many times more!

This is the brassserie inside Karel V which also has a more luxurious restaurant. It is the more cosy restaurant with nice dishes in a slightly more noisy atmosphere. So less suitable if your hearing is impaired or not so good anymore. Dishes are fine wines are great and with good company great place to be.

Absolutely loved the character, look and feel of this place. It was like walking into someplace that had been converted out of a medieval castle. Very steep steps down to the canal entrance so bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Warm welcome. We both went for the â¬29.50 set menu. We had the salmon roll which has a very strong taste and the pig terrine which was very interesting. My main of halibut was a lovely bit of fresh fish but could have done with a bit more seasoning and I didn't love the accompanying sauce. My husband was disappointed with the size of his mixed grill skewer but enjoyed the taste. I chose the tiramisu dessert which I wouldn't ordinarily but this one came with an amaretto and caramel sauce which was lovely. The mains came with chips, apple sauce and a homemade slaw which I really enjoyed and you could have more on request but I was too stuffed. As you walk further back towards the loos the decor gets increasingly grand and there is a section with its own screen which was showing an old movie. If this place was local to me I would consider hiring it for a screening. Great service and amazing ambiance (best in any restaurant I've ever eaten at) but the food wasn't as great as I would have liked.

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.

Good food & good beer is what Belgie is all about. 20 taps and a huge bottle selection of international beers.
Reviewed By chimayred
extensive bottled belgian list and a good tap list of at least 20 beers, many unusual. Great bar tender, who of course spoke immaculate English and was very helpful. Handful of locals outside were initially sort of intimidating but they provided some entertainment. Didn't get any food, but didn't want any. Was there strictly for the beer. Weirdquirky decor - plastic snakes hanging off the lights and a large shark on the wall. But if you like Belgians, this is a good place to visit.
