Paviljoen de Dom in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

Very nice place to sit and drink/eat something. The tables and chairs are very tight to the next one. To use the bathroom you need acrobatic talent; it is a pico bathroom.

There are only two people who act as barmen and waiters. You have to wait for ages to get anything.

The place location is nice but it’s really not worth it. The owner is rude and food quality is bad overall. Don't waste your time!

Great toasted sandwich and drink in a lively spot in the heart of Utrecht.

Disappointing! Coffee was watered down, we believe they do it to save coffee. Espresso and Americano were pure water. The staff pretends to be tenacious, while breathing down your necks to spend more money. The owner didn’t want to give us tap water as requested (despite we wanted it with other ordered stuff) and kept insisting to get sparkling or still water to pay more. The view is nice but trust me - you do not want to ruin your Dutch tourism experience by staying there!

Food was decent, place was nice, staff was drunk.

A classic tourist trap. Right in the city center, bathed in sunshine, it seems like the perfect spot for a drink. But you end up paying a premium for awful coffee, only a 0.5L Heineken (no smaller), and you have to wait over 20 minutes for four simple drinks even though it's not particularly busy. Mediocre quality and mediocre service, a shame.

Very slow service, terrible food quality. Move on by.

Disappointing Experience -- Unfortunately, our visit was quite unsatisfactory. The service was extremely slow, and the food was abysmal; none of us enjoyed our meals. To add to the disappointment, the cost of beverages was excessive – €7 for only 30cl of beer felt like a complete rip-off (they don't put the volume on the menu). While the location itself was pleasant, the lackluster food quality ultimately made for a poor dining experience. We would advise others to avoid this establishment.

I feel like a stupid tourist. €5.60 for a chocolate cake. And then, when I'm paying, I see the HEMA boxes behind the counter. Exactly the same cake. A very smart entrepreneur, indeed.

Terrible. Stay away. Urgent inspection required. The plumbing as well.

This afternoon we sat on the terrace. The location is nice, but that's about it. The drinks are okay, nothing special. I definitely don't recommend the nachos, because they're disgusting and made with cheap ingredients, and they're also super overpriced!!! The staff is also friendly. There are so many other great places in Utrecht, so don't waste your money.

Terrible and incredibly expensive! €11.90 for 2 croquettes on cotton bread, €11.90 for a small panini with barely any toppings, and €6.90 for truly awful fries with a much-too-small mayo container... One tip: Stay away!

Very disappointed by how I was treated here. After ordering and paying for my cold chocolate, I was sitting calmly at my table doing a small craft project. Out of nowhere, the owner came and asked me to leave in a very rude and condescending tone. No clear reason, no kindness — just bad attitude. Except his Rudeness at all what suprised me was that he said i don't like what you are doing so leave.I was respectful and quiet the whole time. Definitely not a welcoming place for creatives or anyone who expects basic courtesy. I won't return.

They charge 1€ for ketchup and mayo, without telling you that it has an extra cost. The best thing here is the location: on a bridge and quite central. They also allowed us to pay separately. Overpriced low-quality food.

Avoid this place. Clearly an owner who is after money and doesn't care about quality or hospitality. A great place in the city center with a lot of potential but a disgrace to the hospitality industry.

Good location and nice atmosphere. The spritz was watered down and the snack we ordered was mostly just chicken nuggets, so it didn’t feel worth it. The service felt a bit rushed too.

Luckily we were allowed to sit down before we had to place our order, we didn't have much time for the menu. Unfortunately it's not in Dutch (we're in the Netherlands, aren't we?) The table wasn't cleaned first. Food was put on the table without saying anything and then taken away again without asking anything. Unfortunately (if something is said) it's only done in English. This was the first and last time.

Horrible place with laughable service. Only bright spot is the outside terrace with soft pillows and the tosti was acceptable

Lovely terrace, great tables and chairs. The only point of attention is that when you have to pay they ask you to walk to the back. Where they do take your order with fancy tablets at your table. Paying at the table should be a small effort in these times!

Service is below the level you would expect from a catering establishment with a terrace. Service does not pay attention, is rude, and has no knowledge of the Dutch language. Leave out things that are standard everywhere, and if you ask for it they just charge extra, even though it's not even on the menu. They rely on their location, which only attracts tourists. You don't see any locals there. Now I understand why....

This is terrible, what poor service and terribly expensive in comparison. Never again.

Quality and price ratio makes no sense, very high prices for food and drinks. In this one there were four people, small lunch. Could also have been a dinner in accordance with the price we had to pay...

We happened to walk past it and there was room here. We sat down, saw pulled pork nachos (loaded nachos) and were looking forward to it. Ordered some drinks. Ice tea sparkling tasted like the AH own brand and the nachos were dry and there were no fresh products. Ready-made pulled pork, for example. In short, we won't be back

This afternoon we wanted to have a nice terrace in Utrecht and we came across this terrace. It looked good from the outside and we took a seat here. Until we opened the menu and saw the prices. We decided to order 5 drinks and the (loaded nachos) that were NOT loaded. The drinks came to us only in the glass and we had a strange feeling. We started drinking the drinks and we could just taste that it was not an A brand. We also received the nacho bowl 2 minutes after we received our drinks. It already looked dry and when we ate it it was really nasty, it was dry and it wasn't fresh at all. It tasted like they had been rotting under the heat lamp for a pure hour. After we finished the bowl we immediately left. For 5 drinks and 1 small nacho bowl 38 euros is really not normal, I will never come back here. I don't recommend it either because you don't have a view of anything.

Very weird that there's an "alcohol-free" section divided by barely anything. What's the point? We watched multiple people sit in this unmarked "section" for quite a while, waiting to get served, only to be told they can't drink alcohol there and have to either move or leave if there's no other tables available. Very weird. Also, overpriced.

€4 voor een ice tea uit een pak. We hadden nachos besteld, maar de kaas was koud en je zag de plakken er op liggen. Het toilet was niet schoon en geen privacy door gat onder in de deur.

I visited their terrace today. I ordered one cappuccino and one coffee. Both were undrinkable. It's a shame I only read their reviews afterward. But to my surprise, I was also overcharged by €8.50, even though their menu says €4.30 plus €3.40... so the total should have been €7.70.

Ate nachos. Very dirty!! Bad service when complaints afterwards

friendly staff and good price quality ratio! highly recommended

We sat for a half hour and weren't even acknowledged while others around us got served food and drinks. So we left. Avoid this place!

Beautiful terrace, nice in the sun. Unfortunately, it comes across as if they are taking advantage of this. The food and drinks were downright sad. 2 automatic cappuccinos, 1 apple juice that tastes like apple lemonade. Croquettes, nothing special and thick Flemish fries were okay, but few. A bowl of mayonnaise costs a euro, but then you have nothing. The page was the biggest mockery, cowardly sandwich with cowardly content. This costs less than a euro to make, but is sold here for 11.90. At checkout, Mrs. not yet asking for a tip. I paid 42 euros, where I should have spent a maximum of 20 euros and still be dissatisfied. This is the first Google review I am writing, purely because of the sadness of this place.

Had to wait a very long time for our drinks and then had to wait a long time for the nachos. €12.90 for the nachos... definitely not worth it!

Very bad service We just wanted to have a drink. We are asked every 5 minutes if we want anything else. After 4 times a waitress comes to tell us that the table has been reserved (on a terrace jacket) or we want to leave. Never experienced anything like this.

We thought we would have a nice drink. The owner came to us 3 times to ask if we wanted something to drink or eat, to which we answered no! Later the waiter came to us to tell us that the table would be served in half an hour. How can you reserve a terrace? I wouldn't recommend anyone to sit here! Service poor and pushy. Never again!!

Staff need to hire new staff here The way it is now here at Paviljoen De Dom is not possible Bad service on the terrace customers had to wait a long time for their service and unfortunately the order was not delivered completely according to the customer's wishes And unfortunately you cannot pay at the table here. But at the Bar I don't know yet whether I will sit here a second time Barr and Barr bad here

We waited 30 minutes for two beers, before we left.

3,90 voor een automaten latte en 15 euro voor een panini die niet vers bereid was, we bestelde en 4 minuten later was het er al, en zo verschrikkelijk zout brrr echt slechte kwaliteit voor wat je betaald. Vieze keuken, onfris toilet, bediening was erg aardig, maar de kwaliteit/prijs was echt beneden alle pijl!!

Heerlijk geborreld, lekker gegeten en leuke bediening. Terras zit lekker en leuk mensen kijken bij een warm vuurtje. Top.

Had delicious drinks and delicious snacks

Goede en snelle service. Vriendelijk personeel en heerlijk geluncht en geborreld. Broodje zalm raad ik zeker aan. Ook de koffie was erg goed.

Glühwein is really nice tasting. Fries and nachos are almost fine. Only service is sooo slowly.

Poor service on the terrace, waiting a long time for an employee and when you finally receive your order, your order is not as desired and you can wait a very long time for the rest of your order

Was charged 19,20 for 3 small paper cups of gluwein. If the owners feel comfortable charging this much money for a little bit of (poor tasting) gluwein, I would not trust the rest of their business. Would recommend to avoid.

We had to wait a long time before someone came to us to take an order. The QR code at the table for which you firstly had to log in and secondly you could not order was worthless. Half a liter of Heineken for 7.20?? Also a dark and gray atmosphere. Not worth the money and time.

Manager plays it tough and asks to not smoke when it is clearly an open area. You should be brainless to hire such an individual

Staff speaks half English and half Dutch Coffee comes from a kind of machine that tastes like instant coffee (3.20 for regular, 6 euros for double espresso) Food cannot be chopped and it is better to take it from the refrigerator of the supermarket. What a crap tent in a good location

By far the most ridiculously priced terrace in Utrecht. 12 euros for a sandwich from Aldi with croquettes from the same Aldi fried for far too long. Cramped together with tables that barely remain standing, and then dare to charge 5 euros for a coffee fished straight from the canal. Definitely walk past this place, location seems nice, but food is dramatic and way too expensive

Beautifully located 👍 quick and friendly service 🌞

Delicious food and friendly staff. We sat inside, there is limited space, but we thought it was nice and cozy.

Wat een ballen tent tosti kaas net wel prima, tosti ham kaas gwn echt nog koud van binnen en een bakje curry van een euro waar je 2 happen van kan nemen. Frisdrank geen prik of iets van ijs en 100% uit een fles voor toch wel de hoofdprijs. Bij aankomst werd er meteen toen we gingen zitten gevraagd wat we willen eten terwijl we nog niet eens hadden kunnen kijken. Toen kwam die aan met de drankjes krijgen we een bon voor ons neus geschoven of we er ff op konden letten en meenemen als we af gaan rekenen? Nou toen uiteindelijk eten besteld, loopt meteen weg na bestellen niet even herhalen niks het was heel gek. Nou toen waren we er wel mooi klaar mee dus gaan afrekenen staat mevrouw te bellen? Ze hangt ook niet op ze blijft gwn echt aan de telefoon dit was zo absurt hier echt niet heen gaan.

Very expensive, poor quality coffee and poor service. A real tourist trap.

Food came very quickly, even though the terrace was full. With the mozzarella panini, the panini was not warm and the mozzarella not melted with cheap pesto. At the bouncer, the cheese and ham were just stuck on it. The greenhouse had not melted. There was not even a hello from the waiter. Staff showed no interest.

17.70 for two coffees and a water, ridiculous.

I stopped at this place by mistake, mistaking it for the café I was going to. I confirm the negative reviews I have read. Expensive and low quality food. I didn't even like the location. Anonymous. Not recommended

Substandard service, very impersonal, no attention for the customer. When we wanted to pay it was as if they were deliberately ignored, after 5 minutes of really waving (!) we got an irritated look after which they said we had to pay at the bar. Also really weak coffee...

Nice terrace in a central location in Utrecht. Unfortunately the apple pie was sold out, so I took Apple Strudel with Vanilla Strudel as an alternative. Unfortunately it was a bit soggy. Service was not very smooth, but the location makes up for a lot.

Ignore this place since the waiters will ignore you.

The coffee was dirty (we didn't drink it) and very expensive. How dare you charge so much money for coffee from a vending machine? The place is beautiful and the service is friendly, but it is a tourist trap. Please go somewhere else, there are 50 better coffee places in Utrecht.

Our order was taken quickly and served almost as quickly. The quality of the food is fine. It is not a terrace where you can sit for a long time, but I can definitely recommend this restaurant for a quick, good lunch.

This is where I had my worst work experience ever! Hours of work in the sun to get paid around €130 at the end of the month! And make it look like it's right on paper. “Manager” admits afterwards that it is not entirely correct. resigned with immediate effect. Heard from a family friend who talked the talk that they are indeed doing scams. Don't fall for this. The food is indeed not completely fresh except for their paninis and the croquettes on bread won't kill you either. The owners also gave me the middle finger. They are also defensive people. What can I say about it🤷🏻‍♀️ It's been 2 years now, but judging by the reviews they don't do anything about it. 0 improvement.

Coffee by the canal in a great location

The wine was not a nice house wine for the price mentioned, it was a bit sour. The nachos were €12.90 but were not worth the price. It was some tortilla chips with a jar of tomato sauce and guacamole from the supermarket. There were no vegetables except for 2 slices of cucumber (??? which do not belong with nachos). The cheese wasn't tasty either. When we indicated that we wanted to send the nachos back, there was no response. We wouldn't come back here. Positive points: there was sun and the cushioned seats were comfortable. We were helped well by the guy at the cash register.

Kale tosti van fabrieksbrood, kaas zonder smaak, geen garnituurtje erbij, geen vraag wilt u bruin of wit brood, ketchup bij besteld dat kwam pas toen de Tosti’s op waren. Dit krijg je nog niet eens in het clubhuis van de voetbal club.

There are other options in the zone....

We waited more than half an hour for someone to take our order on the terrace, but the waiter did not come to the 'neighborhood' where we were, nor could we get in touch with them. So we went to sit with the neighbors. While we enjoyed a nice lunch there, we saw the same thing happen three times, really bad service!

NB ! Ask for the card before you order! The prices are everything, 11.90 for a (thin) aperol spritz and 8.40 for an ice coffee.

SUPER bad service! A very grumpy English speaking man, with no patience! He was so insistent that I had ordered food once, and my company had not because he was put under so much pressure, and our request to think about it for a while was not heeded. Then the food comes before the drink, and the drink only comes when the food is gone! Fries were half raw..: and ridiculously little sauce! I tried to order more, but after raising my hand 7 times I stopped.

Please walk a few steps further from the church, there are many better restaurants there. Do not come to this restaurant. It's so true that this restaurant is rated so low. Very poor service and very poor food. Ordered a panini hot chicken. It was very salty. I told the waitress about it, and she said it was my personal taste and no customer had complained to them. She also said she had this for lunch and had no problem with it, then she turned around and left, ignoring us.

Paid more than €5 too much than what is stated on the menu.scam!

Too expensive, 2 coffees come from a machine, not drinkable, average gas station sells better quality.

Unfriendly servers, toilet is full of toilet paper and piss. There is barely any poop on the wall. The mojito consists of Citroën water and mint, no alcohol in sight. So you can conclude that they are scammers. I'd rather drink from the canal.

Very bad place, very expensive and it took more than fifteen minutes before you got your drink. Put a drink on the table and spill it and she says oops! Being bumped into my chair, no apology or anything.

Mijn echtgenoot en ik op weekend in Utrecht bestelden om 19u23 op 20-07-24 elk een salade carpaccio en drinken bij Paviljoen De Dom op de Vismarkt. De salades kwamen vlug maar om 19u45 begonnen ze de stoelen en tafels te op elkaar stapelen. Heel klant onvriendelijk. Mijn zin in eten was direct over. Toen we bestelden, had de bediende moeten zeggen dat ze om 20u gingen sluiten. Ik heb haar daarover aangesproken.

Very poorly organised. You have to pay yourself at the bar and the food is okay but not in relation to the price. Old-fashioned regular payment with separate receipts.

Once and never again! Friend wanted a ham-cheese-bacon sandwich, but there were exactly 3 crumbs of bacon on it! Other than that, she thought it was fine...I had ordered a coke myself, where you just got a glass of coke (with the shot already finished) without a bottle or something like that...and I had ordered a chicken satay! I also work in the kitchen myself, and for a chicken satay costing €19, I think, you can at least expect that it is not a ready-made frozen product! After eating 1 bite I was done....after indicating this, the man behind the cash register says; "yes, if you work in the kitchen yourself, I understand that you proposed something different here".... Once and never again, really that bad!!!!!!

For the high prices they ask, they can install a decent toilet (it felt like I was at a campsite, with facilities from the year zero)! Coffee is the worst I have ever had, if only I had read the reviews beforehand it would have saved me a lot of money!!

Super fast service, smiling staff. Very good plate with fresh produce.

It's a nice place for a drink, but really. T toilet does not close. The satay is dry, little sauce. The fries undercooked. Actually, only the atjar was tasty, but it came from a jar, so that's not an art. Was I really that disappointed?

Expensive for what you get, 2 wafer thin slices of brie on a sandwich, nothing added and topped with mustard sauce 👎🏻 Charge 1 euro for a thimble of mayo....

What a disappointment. Soggy white toasted sandwiches under a few croquettes. We also largely left the bouncer in place. Those soggy sandwiches again. No choice for bread. Little choice in soft drinks. The place is nice to sit, but you shouldn't be here for lunch. Spent a lot of money for something prepared by people who do not understand what a Dutch lunch should be.

Service was a tad slow and portions were fairly small. But it's a lively atmosphere in a good location.

Lovely terrace where you can enjoy a drink and something to eat. For a sandwich you pay about €6 and the panini (as in the photo) €14. There is still something to be said about the price-quality ratio, but for once it is fine. Quick service!

Expensive!!, and they don't understand it!! What a mess

Echt heel slecht, slecht eten (kroket op brood) kroket was niet gaar, brood was goedkoop, dun en oud. Mooie locatie maar dat is dan alles.

Ordered a glass of rosé for 6.90 😳 with a glass of water not possible, then you get a spa blue for 3.90 without saying anything, poor service in my opinion. Place is nice

- Bad quality of food - Dirty and not hygienic (Especially the dishes and glasses) - Impolite manager

Sat on the terrace on King's Day. It was busy, it took a while, but I understand that. It was good, not excellent. Will definitely come back here again.

We just had a drink here. Location is everything, on a little square above the canal. Prices are steep though the service was okay and the drinks well made.

Samen met mijn ouders gezeten op het terras, maar snelle bediening en lekkere koffie. Niks op aan te merken, we zaten onder warme heaters en droog onder de parasol 😊

Lovely terrace for something to eat in the sun. Quite above average in terms of price. We ordered coffee, we were asked if we used sugar with it. We thought it was strange when you consider that you pay €4.40 for a Latte. Sandwich was filled but not richly. Never had Atjar Tampoer with a salmon roll. Use fresh lettuce instead of this. We had the same thing last week at the neighbors' house with 2 people for €27. Here we paid €36.60. In our opinion, poor price/quality ratio. Shame…

Great for a cup of coffee or tea. sandwiches have little inspiration

My first place to sit down and have some refreshments. My first try of Bitterballen and it didn't dissapoint. Nice and friendly staff. Hope to return soon!

Tastiest apple pie ever! Fresh and warm!

For drinks, it's a lovely place.

What a mockery here, this tourist trap. The wait staff, who could not communicate at all, actively looked away when we wanted to order and never came again. In the end I just had a drink. Fortunately, now that I read the reviews. In addition, they had so-called 'homemade' mulled wine, but we sat inside between the boxes with bottles of ready-made supermarket mulled wine. To pay we could walk to the bar ourselves, where we could tell them what we had drunk. What a shame for such a beautiful location. Never again.

Service not optimal. But the location is beautiful

The onion soup with gratinated baguette is highly recommended. Nice spot, friendly staff.

Outrageous prices. €4.80 for half a glass of hot water with a sprig of mint.

Nice terras, good location near The Dom tower. Delicious food and drinks, nice staff. Money is worth.
