Lust109 in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

I bought lunch via Social Deal. Two different soups and two different sandwiches. Both went wrong; both the soup and the sandwiches were the same. While waiting for the right soup for one person, the other soup had already cooled down. The soups weren't really hot when they were served. The sandwiches, however, were well-filled.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The host is very nice and the service is very friendly. The food is amazingly delicious! The three of us thoroughly enjoyed the 3-course tapas menu. Thank you for the delicious food!

Lovely spot along the canal, with super nice staff. The food and drinks were also top-notch.

What a cheerful atmosphere, the service and kitchen! It was busy, yet you were met with a smile and a nice conversation at the table. The food was more than delicious and the drinks were well-chosen to accompany our dinner! It was an experience..."live as if it were your last day"",,, the music was also appealing! Great evening! Thanks!

Had a delicious meal; what a great place!! Super cozy atmosphere and definitely worth a visit. Beautifully situated along the canal and friendly staff.

We had a lovely time sitting by the water, great atmosphere, delicious food, and super friendly staff. They were our saviors. My phone had fallen into the water, and a member of staff went in and retrieved it from the bottom! Thank you so much!

Amazing experience at Lust 109! Beautiful location by the water, delicious food, great wine and an incredible atmosphere. The meat was absolutely fantastic, but what really made the evening special was the outstanding staff — super friendly, attentive and welcoming. Some of the best service we’ve had! Definitely a place to come back to. 🍷🥩✨

Terrible food! People unfriendly and unprofessional!

Please, please, don't go here. All of the bad reviews are correct - good location, but everything else is horrible. Especially the food. Oh my god, the food is the worst I've experienced in quite some time. I mean, Turkish Tapas anyone? We really should have spotted that it was quiet compared to all of it's neighbours. We had a few dishes ranging from fried cheese sticks all the way to a steak - which was quite possibly the worst piece of meat I've ever seen served anywhere in the world. I had some Calamari which was plainly from a packet of frozen supermarket food, and I really don't know how they managed to make it as horrible as it was. I swear it was the closest thing to cardboard I've ever experienced. It had a brief but horrible whiff of very old seafood and had a similar texture (and taste) to cardboard. I ate 2 pieces and left the rest - frankly I just wanted to leave the place asap. The steak was simply awful. It came with 1 piece of potato, 1 cauliflower floret, 1 broccoli floret, and the meat was just inedible - €24. I tried to warn the couple coming in just after us but I'm not sure I got the message across over the noise of the god-awful Turkish disco drivel being played quite loudly. Please don't go here - by all means have a drink but please don't make the same mistake as us and order food. In fact, promise me you won't....please ...

Utrecht is a great place to relax and spend some quality time by the canal. Grolsch was lovely, the atmosphere was wonderful.

Lust 109 is the best place ever It's nice here, I come almost every week now

Ordered a salad with artichokes at lunchtime. I have never eaten such a boring salad; it didn't even come with a piece of cheese, a seed, a slice of bread, or a dollop of mayo. I felt just like a rabbit.

At this restaurant, they have no idea how to make a good, tasty lunch. The salad comes from a supermarket package, personal attention is lacking, and when you point out that something is of poor quality, the answer you get is that it is a matter of taste. How is it possible that the hospitality industry in the Netherlands is not bound by a certain standard? And who is the paying customer here? Exactly! Not recommended. Just move two tables over and go sit with the (Rum Club) neighbors. Thank me later.

Poor quality food. Salad from the supermarket. Chicken dry and tasteless. Sent the salad back; there was absolutely no service from the staff. Left the restaurant without eating.

Nice spot by the canal. They are packed quite close together, though. Food is fine but nothing special. Service is slow.

We received excellent service immediately upon arrival. We were given the opportunity to sit by the water. Our order was served in a very short time. In short, superb!

Devo certainly does his best, good service and friendly

I've never seen such rude, ill-mannered waiters who don't know how to speak to customers. The location is nice, the food on the menu is more expensive than usual, but the unpleasant attitude of the staff ruins the place.

We were asked to move to a different table without any explanation after sitting there just 5 minutes ago. The waiter even said, "I can move you to any table I want here, I can even send you away." The staff are very rude and impolite, ruining this place which has great location beside canal.

What a good, nice, beautiful restaurant. Great service. Phone almost dead? No problem. They are happy to charge it. Great location. We will definitely come back.

Excessively expensive for very little substance. There were four of us, and we ordered tapas, and everything arrived in just two or three small pieces for €10. The servers were really enthusiastic, but it's far too expensive for what you get. The price reflects the location.

Nice place with very hospitable staff. The food, on the other hand, was quite disappointing. We were served two slices of bread stacked on top of each other. (Which I simply had lying around at home.) For 16 euros, I find that truly criminal. You don't go out for lunch for that price. Shame!! But if the kitchen were to make some adjustments, as far as I'm concerned, it really has the potential to become a gem in Utrecht.

It’s really delicious and the staff is really helpful and kind!!! I would 100% recommend 😊!!!

The staff were physically fighting amongst themselves. Really heavy fighting. The bill was €35.00 too high. Unfortunately, we only found out about that later. Not recommended.

Beautiful view and a great place. It was a very nice experience!

The cocktails were soft drinks with ice. If you want to look at the canal go, otherwise don't. They rely on location and don't care what they serve.

Ended up by chance. But good service, the team really tries their best! The tapas were of varying quality and it was occasionally very messy and chaotic.

Terrible management. We were repeatedly moved from one table to another for no apparent reason. Very unprofessional and frustrating experience. The restaurant manager did an awful job.

1 star is still too much. It takes a while for them to come to your table; I order 2 drinks. Other people sit down at the tables and get their drinks first. He says he remembers your order and then goes to help other tables, but my drinks don't arrive.

We were with a work group; some had tapas and others main courses. It was all very tasty. The service by Panos was very pleasant.

We were here this afternoon/evening with 50 colleagues. What an amazing location! Everything perfect. Food, service, and atmosphere. You really have to go here! Yamas!

Great food at a good price, beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere! Friendly people. We did go with a large group, which is probably why we had a longer wait.

Despite the crowds, our spot for 10 people on the terrace was reserved. Fast and friendly service.

Here is a so lovely place, the atmosphere with their lovely staff is amazing they are so friendly and lovely the food is for this location is good. We enjoyed all the day.

A relaxed bar atmosphere with a restaurant. We sat right by the water. The tapas didn't appeal to us (price-performance ratio). We had steaks and fries. The wine was delicious. The service was super friendly, funny, and accommodating. Music was playing in the background; you could also hear it from the rum bar next door.

Super tasty tapas and very friendly staff. Relaxed vibe. Highly recommended!!

A day out with my girlfriend in Utrecht and ended it off perfectly with delicious tapas at Lust 109. Super friendly service and amazing food. The prawns, in particular, are fantastic. Simply enjoyed ourselves at a great spot.

We were a large group (10 people). On a busy, sunny day in May, room was made for us immediately! That is quite a feat in Utrecht with so many people. The food tasted good and the service was excellent.

Friendly staff, but we had to ask several times to order and pay. The hamburger we ordered was not tasty. For this price, I honestly expect a bit more than a greasy frozen hamburger. It is a shame, because it is a cozy terrace in a beautiful location along the canal.

We had a lovely time sitting in the sun and having lunch on the terrace by the canal at LUST 109. Sitting in the sun at this location is truly special and immediately creates a pleasant atmosphere, especially with the boats sailing past. The staff was also friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit disappointing. The lunch was fine, but nothing more than that. My farmer's omelet tasted quite salty and wasn't particularly special otherwise. Furthermore, it was served with only a very small slice of bread, which was even somewhat hidden under the omelet. I wouldn't immediately recommend this for an elaborate or culinary lunch, but for a drink or aperitif on the terrace, it is absolutely a beautiful spot.

We went in randomly, but it's an incredibly beautiful placce

We had a delicious meal! Thank you very much. We will definitely be back!

Super customer service, my husband's phone fell into the canal and an employee jumped in the cold canal to help search!! So sweet!

We had delicious mezzes. Thanks for the friendly service!

A very nice restaurant; our waiter was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was a bit pricey, but incredibly delicious, and the dessert was also good. I highly recommend it!

Paid 10 euros for 2 pathetic empanadas and picky losers were grumpy about ordering beer,

The food could be better. The atmosphere is fine. The service is friendly.

Delicious lunch on the terrace, friendly and attentive staff, and the chicken and vitello tonnato sandwiches were tasty and fresh.

Terrible service, we were waiting half an hour for someone to come for order and more than half an hour for two salads.

I received raw cauliflower and broccoli, and the meat was tasteless.

Top top top!!!! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Poor and rude service, the food was partly tasteless, and they forgot the table next to us.

Got seated pretty quickly and at our reservation time. The atmosphere is good, fun interior and very cool to eat so close to the canal. Sadly was the positive part of our night. We had to wait 40 min until we finally got our first drink, after asking multiple times. Ordering food was a whole process as well. We had to keep getting the attention of a waiter for someone to come by and take our order. When we finally got to order it took 1 hour to get our food. In total we were there 1 hour and 45 min until we finally got our food. We didn't get 2 items that we ordered. I conclusion I sadly have to say I won't be coming back. The atmosphere is good and the food was good as well. The service was just too bad for me to go back or to recommended it.

We received a very warm welcome, but unfortunately, our chosen Rioja wine was out... we were immediately offered a nice alternative for the same price. The manager/owner (I think) was very hospitable and constantly working to please all guests! Attention to detail! 🙏🏻 Definitely recommended!

The first impression is a weird smell when entering the restaurant. The food taste and portion is good

Excellent service and fantastic staff! Best evening ever!

The reviews for this restaurant don't do it justice. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the food is good, and the service is okay. We were there with a social deal. The highlight was dessert, but everything else was good too! We had a great Tuesday evening. One tip: turn the music down a bit.

What a lovely, almost hidden spot in the heart of Utrecht! Friendly and welcoming service and delicious food, ranging from sandwiches with delicious fillings to tapas of your choice. Well worth a stop for a tasty lunch during a day of shopping in Utrecht city center.

A lovely setting by the water. Enjoyed delicious wines and baguettes with dips. Inside, it looked quite atmospheric.

We ate here with the two-course lunch dinner social deal. Lentil and tomato soup were the starters, both delicious! For mains, we ordered a pollo (chicken) sandwich and a veal sandwich with tuna mayonnaise. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The veal sandwich lacked a bit of flavor, but they'd deliberately left it without salt or pepper because of the older guests they often have. Unfortunately, they didn't have any salt or pepper on the table so I could season it a bit more. Besides the two courses, we also shared the almond-liquor 43 cake, which was absolutely delicious! The waiter/bartender was also very friendly and provided excellent service! The location was also beautiful and looked well-maintained inside.

Everything was great, the staff was very friendly, the taste was legendary, thank you, we will definitely come again :)

We were here with a Social Deal and were unfortunately very disappointed. When we made our reservation, we had already mentioned that one of us was vegetarian. Yet, we were given meat with our starter. When we pointed this out, we received a lukewarm response. With the main course, which we had to wait over an hour and a half for, things went wrong again: meat again, even though we had clearly indicated otherwise. Moreover, the food itself was nothing special and certainly not what you would expect based on the photos and description. The service seemed unfriendly and disinterested, ignored our comments, and there was no smile. We ultimately skipped dessert and left early. For us: not what it seems and not recommended.

Very friendly service, tasty dishes.

Came here with a gift card and had a delicious meal, friendly staff and reasonable prices.

First, we had a drink outside by the water, and then enjoyed a delicious meal inside at a table reserved for us. Contrary to some other reviews, we received excellent service from the staff.

We ate here with a social deal. The food was incredibly delicious. With a social deal, you often get simpler dishes, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The service was fast and incredibly friendly. We had a good meal and a lovely evening. The cocktails were a bit mediocre, which didn't quite meet expectations. That's the only point of improvement I can suggest.

Delicious shop! Beautiful view and friendly staff.

We had a few cocktails before dinner, and the service was very professional. The location is excellent, and combined with the beautiful weather, it makes for an incredible experience. We'll be back.

Perfect tent, very nice staff and nice location on the canal

Had a great time. Amazing place to sit down, cocktails were amazing!

Very nice atmosphere, good service!!

What terrible service. I see a few 5-star reviews here, and they must have been paid for it. The staff is disinterested, unfriendly, and has no idea how to serve someone. You'd get better treatment at an average snack bar. The staff didn't even come to the table themselves. The food was okay, although the chicken satay probably wasn't quite right because it gave me a stomach ache that night. All in all, not recommended.

Had lunch outside on the terrace. Beautiful spot. Unfortunately, the service wasn't very enthusiastic. Only one person was doing almost everything, while the other two gentlemen took turns smoking/taking a break in the middle of the terrace under the stairs. Yes, it was lunchtime, so it was incredibly busy. Great timing, guys! The food was decent; the freshly baked brown bread was tasty but had a tough crust, and my wife had carpaccio on a slice of this bread. It was incredibly tough. The knives weren't sharp enough to cut this tough stuff. All in all, the worst Utrecht terrace experience (out of many good ones) during our weekend getaway.

Very nice and cozy place. Highly recommended

You guys are the best, your service and hospitality is unbelievable.

Pleasant atmosphere, nice staff, nice place by the water, delicious food, nice owner.

A really nice place to sit! We had a lovely lunch and the service was great. Friendly people who weren't afraid to chat. Top location!

9,50€ for 3 small deepfrozen meatballs and a bit of salad is crazy

Great place and location. And with absolutely the best waiter ever. Batuhan was the friendliest and fastest waiter I ever had. Really amazing guy!

Sweet young man, very neat and polite and baby-friendly. He wanted to help lift the car down but it wasn't necessary. Good price and quality. He was politely addressed. First time at this terrace but I thought it was very good!

We were satisfied. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and the food was good too.

Pure rip-off! The menus for two people are deliberately charged twice – not a misunderstanding, but clearly a method. The service staff is hopelessly overwhelmed, and complaints simply bounce off the management. The food itself? Mediocre: sometimes overseasoned, sometimes completely tasteless, ingredients cheap and sometimes from cans. For these prices, it's outrageous – definitely not recommended!

Absolute rip-off! They deliberately charge twice for meals for two people – not by mistake, but by design. The waiters are completely overwhelmed by the complaints, and the manager accepts the chaos. On top of that, the food is mediocre: sometimes too salty, sometimes bland, even canned mushrooms. Disastrous value for money – never again!

On the patio, I ordered a goat cheese salad with figs and roasted pecans. The salad arrived without figs and with unroasted pecans. When I asked for the figs, they said they were out of them. They didn't mention the roasted nuts. I was charged full price for the salad, even though some ingredients were missing! Very strange and not okay!

Never seen such a bad appetizer platter. The meat had been sitting there for a week and was extremely dry. It was also very sparse. The location is great, right by the water.

The food and drinks were horrible, the service was not good. The location is really nice however everything else was so bad I do not recommend please do not go here. The service was subpar, it was pretty busy however majority of the time there the waitress were chit chatting in a corner. One of my friends had ordered an amaretto sour and it a brown espresso color and tasted like coffee. Me and another friend ordered a pornstar martini and it tasted just like sugary chemical passion fruit juice with a little bit of vodka. The only really edible item from everything we ordered were the empanadas. The calamari was chewy and stretchy ( took forever to chew). The carpaccio was very thickly sliced. Don’t even get me started on the chicken wings. Overall just don’t go here for anything other than the location and view

Found the perfect spot in Utrecht! Lovely waterfront location, fantastic staff who work hard, you'll definitely feel welcomed here. The food is also deliciously fresh. When I'm back in Utrecht, I'll definitely be back! I'll be back!

We only had a few drinks there, but the service was very friendly and quick. We also had a few more drinks and cocktails.

Very nice place to drink, good food and good staff

Delicious food with friendly staff, top experience

Great food, friendly staff and good service.

Had a wonderful lunch at Lust 109 on the canal What a lovely spot Lust 109 is in Utrecht! We enjoyed a delicious lunch on the charming canal-side terrace – a perfect spot to unwind in the heart of the city. We chose the tuna sandwich and the carpaccio sandwich, both very tasty. Fresh, well-filled, and simply delicious – exactly what you hope for in a good lunch. The service was friendly, fast, and efficient, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. In short: a delicious meal in a prime location, and we're definitely going back!

A lovely spot on the canal with a terrace, perfect for a nice sit when the weather is nice. There's also seating inside. We had a few drinks and a cheese board, and everything was excellent. The service was friendly, though not always attentive, as you sometimes have to ask if you wanted to order something else. They can be a bit pushy, so you can easily overcome that. All in all, a great place!

Great view and incredible virgin Mojito

Best place in the Utrecht for drink&view!

An average to below average general impression. The waiters try their best I believe. But they were hard to understand, either in dutch or English. And we had the idea they didn't really understand us. The music was weird. Calamaris very dry, tenderloin quite good though. But the patatas bravas were drowned in way too much mayo. Restaurant should normalize putting sauces in a seperate container pls.

Abod is the best server you can get. FREE SHOTS!!!

abod is a legend, best one of Utrecht. FREEEE SHOTTTSSSSS!!!!

I want to say - service here the best ! Here working really nice people . Food to come so fast and drink also

Nice place, nice drinks and great service. Dear all
