Utrecht, Netherlands + Add a trip

Café Jan Primus

Allegedly the place that introduced the Netherlands to the special beer café concept. This is a great place for beer lovers. Very brown, very local, no music is played—the focus is on conversation and, well, drinking. There's always a good number of specials on tap and more on bottle then you will be able to drink in a life time.

Belgian Retaurant Olivier

My favorite restaurant in Utrech, built in an old church with a very lively atmosphere. Go for the "beenhammetje" (ham on a big bone) and the Corsendonk Agnus Dei beer, afterwards ask for the beer sorbet or one of the desserts of the day! Oh, and did I tell you that the fries are amazing with real mayonaise? ;-)

Restaurant Luce

A great place to dine, Italian restaurant Luce in the centre of Utrecht, just 100 meters from the Dom tower. No pizza but the real Italian deal, starting with delicious antipasti, meat, fish and vegetarian main courses and a rich choice of wines. The staff is friendly and professional. Please make sure to make reservations.

Had a good dinner at Indian restaurant Namaskar (Vredenburg, right in the centre). You can get a bit of everything for 25 Euro/person, also vegitarian dishes, and not too spicy ;)
