UTRECHT - YOUR NEW HOME BARS

& RESTAURANTS: PLACES TO BE

As a student in a new town, there are plenty of restaurants and bars to try, but we’ve compiled a list of our favorites so that you can get a headstart before adding your own!

Where To Take Your Parents

It’s always difficult to find a place that my parents approve of, so I’ve come up with a few enticing options that are picky-eater proof.

Fico: very gourmet food composed of a 5-course meal. It is quite expensive but worth it to celebrate a birthday with your family. It is also a beautiful location on one of the smaller canals in a renovated port building (Veilinghavenkade 14, 3521 AK Utrecht.) Additionally, it is also worth mentioning that the owners have a second gourmet restaurant in an old water tower (with a wonderful view of Utrecht) at Heuveloord 25a!

If your family is craving Italian food, we recommend pizzas at O’Panuozzo at Mariastraat 35. You can also go to San Ciro for a wonderful Italian Cuisine at Oudkerkhof 9. The food is very fresh and the service is amazing.

If you are looking for breakfast or brunch, we can suggest going to Kushiin (Ridderschapstraat 1). They offer a variety of options that will leave you rolling off the table.

If you are in the mood for toasties, we suggest going to Noen, who offers the best ones in town. The café may not be in the center of the city, but the coffee, soups, baked goods, and toasties are worth the travel (Jan van Scorelstraat 8).
