When you start walking down this busy, narrow alley it's hard to imagine that a restful oasis awaits you at the end. And the age-old courtyard garden is even more alluring due to the presence of a 200-year-old beech tree. Inside De Zakkendrager you'll find an historic and stylish interior, which you'd be more likely to see in an English country pub rather than an Utrecht eating establishment only a stone's throw from the train station. The conservatory, with its glass roof, is the best place to enjoy its many seasonal dishes, although the daily specials written on the chalk board are also worth a try. Wash it down with some very reasonably priced house wine.
