El Qatarijne

Everything was a wonderful experience, from how they explain the beautiful wines to the delicious food. I really love it when a restaurant can read the room, serve with grace and make you feel like the queen!

We celebrated my son’s graduation from the University of Utrecht and wanted a special place to celebrate.El Qatarijn was phenomenal! We had 13 guests and had a private table upstairs that easily accommodated our guests.We opted for the 6-course surprise menu (everyone had to have the same number of courses) and ordered bottles of wine and drinks separately, not doing the wine pairing (which is available).We had two appetizers that were provided by the restaurant along with our 6-course dinner! Every dish was scrumptious! The service was spot-on. We all appreciated the waitstaff providing explanations of every dish. New cutlery was provided with each course, and the actual plates and dishes were beautiful as they enhanced each delicious course. Water glasses never ran empty. The wine menu was quite extensive and we were able to find excellent whites and reds to go with the meal.It was a wonderful dining experience! I would highly recommend it! (Also close to the train station!)

Amazing food with super friendly service. We had the 6 course meal with the accompanied wine pairing and it was worth every penny. I was celebrating my wife's birthday and the team also came in with a fun sparkler during the dessert course. These extra step is that make the whole experience enjoyable. We will definitely come back 😁

High quality food and good service. The ‘surprise’ menu was simply divine. We had the five course options which was pretty much perfect (for an adult male). We spent €115 pp including wine, which isn’t cheap but totally worth it. Will definitely go again.

The food was mind-blowing, experimental with loadsof flavour and imagination! We took the 6 course and actually it was too much food for usin the end but worth it! Service was also excellent. We will definitely return.
