The grand café on the ground floor is the ideal place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even just some snacks and drinks. The stunning ambiance of the grand café, with its 8-metre ceiling, makes it the perfect place to meet with friends, family, or

This place is not a typical homie beer bar/place to drink - it is more modern with 10 meter high ceiling, minimalistic design and 4 beer tanks. They had a beer tasting from 5 own beer, which are worst to try. Good place for beer lovers :)

This place has very fascinating interiors. I wish I could say the same about the menu. If you're lucky you can find a nice dish of the day, otherwise you can find what can be found pretty much everywhere (guess it's a common feature of restaurantes here, so overall this place is on average). Pity, I would have expected more than average menu from a place with such a nice exterior character.

On our first night in Utrecht, we had dinner in this charming restaurant overlooking one of the canals. The staff were welcoming & friendly, and took time to explain the menu to us. It's a busy restaurant, but our food was served promptly and was of a very high standard. In fact, it was so good that we went back two more times during our brief stay in the city.When next in Utrecht, we will certainly return to Graaf Floris.

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!

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.

We were recommended this bar by the lady in the tourist information office, it was a wet Monday in Utrecht and most museums etc were closed. She gave excellent advice because we loved it. The cafe is in a converted church, dominated by a central bar, serving an amazing array of beer. The staff were very knowledgable and happy to make suggestions. We also tried the bitterballen to soak up the beer and they were excellent, freshly made and tasty. The chips were good too, the waiter forgot to order the chips for us and when reminded, they arrived promptly and on the house. Excellent service. We didn't have more substantial meals, but looking at the plates being delivered around us, they looked very appetising.I really liked it here and will definitely return. Lovely place.

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.

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.

Starter reached the level of barely acceptable. Wines?? Three Euro supermarket wine on the list for 26 Euro. And then the main course, quail which was still raw on the bone. Finally, without any advanced notification, a 2 Euro supplement for three small pieces of cheap supermarket quality cheese. I know, it is only two Euro, but it is all part of their "surprise menu". Staff showed no understanding for our justified complaints. Many, really many, restaurants in the city that are worth visiting. We will never come back to this one!!!!!!
