Utrecht's café culture is one of the city's best features. Cafés in Utrecht quite often offer much more than just a cup of coffee with pastry or a cup of tea. Most serve soups, salads and sandwiches, so the border between restaurants and cafés is very thin. But have a look at our carefully selected cafés and pick the one that's just right for you, so Eet smakelijk (bon appetit)!

When the weather's good the entire old town buzzes with activity at the pavement cafés that line nearly every street. During the colder months things move indoors, but thanks to the national smoking ban you're still likely to find a fair amount of patrons outside huddled under heat lamps and blankets puffing away on coffee's significant other.
