The Colour Kitchen
Whatever you decide to eat here, make sure you leave room for one of the best desserts we've had in Utrecht. The Eton mess tastes much better than the name might suggest.

Eethuis Smaak
Although located right in the centre of town, this eatery is hidden behind an old facade. Not unlike other start-up catering establishments, Smaak has had some problems of its own, but thankfully it seems that most of the growing pains have been solved.

Jaap
We don't know if the attractive staff in this establishment are responsible for the trendy décor or the prevalence of mirrors about the place, but you can admire yourself or your server in one of 16 reflective surfaces.

Keuken & Deli
If you haven't got time to settle in at one of the small tables, but you'd like to enjoy the wide variety of delicious dishes on offer here, you can have Keuken & Deli's food neatly wrapped up to take home, which is unusual for Dutch restaurants.

Le Connaisseur
Although the fancy name might suggest otherwise, this is more of a place for the carnivore than the connoisseur. Visit this restaurant when you're starving, but don’t have much money to spend.

Prins
This bar and restaurant is located just north of the city centre and its décor is a colourful mix of different styles, which the Dutch would probably qualify as 'cosy in an old-fashioned kind of way'.
