Pitot in Wijk 01 West

I picked up a menu box from Pitot for Christmas. Despite the many steps, the dishes were very tasty. Some improvements would be to include the required ingredients in the instructions for the dishes and to try to use less plastic in the menu box packaging. Next time, I'll try the restaurant again.

Friendly staff, nice music and atmosphere, food was very good and fresh, same goes for the cocktails that are made with fresh ingredients right in front of you!

We had another wonderful evening at Pitot. One small point for improvement: slightly sharper knives would be nice!

Want to tantalize your taste buds? Book a lunch or dinner here. Surprising flavor combinations with beautifully presented plates. Enjoy surprising beers and wines.

Delicious food! Lots of bread and dips. The only downside is that the drinks could come out a bit faster.

People are always nice, food is always delicious: a real guarantee for a great evening!

The food was delicious, although I was disappointed that lunch consisted almost entirely of bread dishes and carbohydrates. I missed some vegetable side dishes. The main options were flatbread or pita, with mostly bread dips as a side. Luckily, the bread was very good. :)

This place is zio avoid for obvious reasons. This restaurant is engaging in cultural erasure by mislabeling traditional Palestinian, Levantine dishes as “Israeli” (they have done so in many interviews and their instagram page). The cuisine of this region has deep, indigenous roots that predate the establishment of this modern project (google wont let me use the actual words that belong to this state). Renaming these foods contributes to the ongoing erasure of Palestinian history and identity. It is deeply painful to see the dishes of a people who have endured displacement, occupation, and dispossession being appropriated and rebranded to belong to the very perpetrators of these crimes. If you truly respect the culinary heritage of this region, acknowledge its origins—call it Palestinian, Levantine, or say that it comes from Jaffa, the Palestinian city on which Tel Aviv was placed. Anything else is an extension of the same historical and present-day injustices.

Top bistro just outside Utrecht city center

We recently dined here with our group of friends (Jecko) at the invitation of a young man on staff. The food was truly fantastic. You can enjoy Mediterranean delicacies in a shared dining setting while the food flows freely. Definitely recommended if you're spending a day in Lombok!

A super fun restaurant with beautiful, creative dishes and delicious flavors. I definitely recommend it!

We're so happy they've turned this little corner into something lovely. It really brightens up the neighborhood!

The food was delicious! The food is original and the menu is excellent! We had everything vegetarian, which was delicious! They just have relatively few tables for two, which is a shame when you're going on a date.

The food and drinks were delicious! The restaurant looks nice and the service is fast. Unfortunately, we were rushed in an unwelcoming way during our meal, which is very unpleasant when you're enjoying a nice dinner out. We received dessert while we were eating, and then the bill before we had even finished. We had to pay while we were still eating and drink our drinks outside in the cold. We knew there was a time slot, but that's not feasible if you want to eat more than a main course. Moreover, the service was rude. I wouldn't go back for this reason; the price is too high to have to eat and drink in such a rush.

Beautiful place, delicious & surprising food and great service!

A super cute place! With a fairly extensive menu and many, many vegetarian options! We ordered the tasting menu for two (which is vegetarian) and were amazed. The place was very busy. Reservations are recommended. Even so, they served us very quickly and were very friendly. TOP quality-price ratio!

Delicious food, great staff, highly recommended. YORD

The food was excellent. The atmosphere is great, it's not big, and there was live music. Even though I mentioned my allergies when I made my reservation and at the beginning of the evening, I was still served something I wasn't supposed to eat twice. Luckily, I could see it the first time, but the second time I couldn't, which made me feel unwell for the rest of the evening. Allergens aren't listed on the menu. Otherwise, it's a really nice place, but not recommended for anyone with allergies.

We had a most delicious meal served by excellent staff, and the atmosphere was wonderful! We will definitely come back the next time we're in Utrecht.

A very atmospheric restaurant with fantastic food. A spot at the bar, opposite the kitchen, adds an extra dimension.

Nice little place. It was busy, but we weren't bothered by it at all. We sat at the bar, which was a great spot.

Nice place, good staff, good food

Excellent food, we really enjoyed our visit!

Food is delicious but no main meal. Really mainly small portions and you have a few different things. Delicious though.

The food was truly fantastic. As far as I know, it's unique to eat so well for such a price. The straciatella and green asparagus were my favorites. The two of us chose the surprise menu. I'm vegetarian and my boyfriend eats meat, and they selected some lovely dishes for us. Mostly vegetarian, but also a delicious meat dish for my boyfriend: the chicken thighs. We really enjoyed the food.

Great experience. Good food. "Pien" the waitress made it complete, with fantastic service and attention to us as guests. So quality service in the hospitality industry isn't a lost cause after all! 😊

I've been there twice in a short time. It's a really nice place with lovely people and delicious food. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and warm. I'm a fan!

Very tasty food, friendly service and cozy place

A real recommendation! I ordered four small dishes, each one absolutely delicious. The waitress was lovely and the cocktails were fantastic!

I was there for lunch. Tasty dishes! :)

Very nice place with good price / quality. Staff is very friendly and supportive. The atmosphere is nice, although the chairs outside are a bit packed. Too packed imo.

A beautiful and delicious experience. The dishes are small, but reasonable for sharing. The service is excellent and fast.

We visited the restaurant and really liked the service and the atmosphere . Very friendly and welcoming. However, the food was extremely salty. The potato latkes were so salty that we couldn’t eat them and had to leave them. The pita dish was also quite salty, but we managed to finish it because we were very hungry. Overall, a nice place, but the kitchen needs to be more careful with the salt.

Had read raving reviews about Pitot and decided to book it for a romantic dinner with my partner. We had such a lovely time! The food was amazing - rich in flavour, complex and at the same time comforting. Service was friendly and approachable, and the staff was always ready to help or answer questions. Great atmosphere, the restaurant has a truly refined vibe to it and it doesn't get too loud (a great plus for us). Highly recommended!

What a wonderful evening! Last Saturday, we dined at this lovely restaurant with Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, and it was truly a wonderful experience. We sat outside until late on the charming terrace – warm evening air, delicious wines, and the dishes were all full of flavor, surprising, and beautifully presented. You simply forgot you were in the Netherlands for a moment. Everything was served with care, and the service was friendly, attentive, and relaxed – exactly what you want on a night out. You absolutely have to try this place. We will definitely be back.

Wow. Great food and a very nice ambiance. The service was also really great and very friendly. We had the set menu for 39 euros per person with various starters, main courses, and dessert. It was also really great that the chef came to our table for each course and explained in English what we were getting. It was simply fantastic. The only thing that wasn't quite my cup of tea was the dessert. It tasted good, but the cake was quite dry. The honey and mascarpone cream saved it. But everyone has different tastes. We'd be happy to come back anyway.

We wanted to have lunch, but after 20 minutes our order still hadn't been taken, and it wasn't that busy. The gentleman who brought us the menu didn't seem particularly enthusiastic either, so it was a disappointment all in all. (Update: star off for the childish reaction)

Lovely restaurant with fine dishes. Service could be a bit better and more hospitable.

Been there several times and always delicious food! They also have nice beers on the menu

We have now eaten there for the third time since it opened and the dishes and wines are still fantastic! Every dish is a surprise and it remains affordable. The only suggestion we have is for the monkfish on the menu: if you pickled it in lemon or vinegar like ceviche, it would have been perfect. Keep up the good work, Pitot is a very welcome change in the Lombok district.

Absolutely incredible. One of the best meals I've had in Utrecht—maybe ever. From the moment I walked into Pitot, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with that perfect balance between laid-back and stylish. You can tell the team puts heart into every detail—from the music to the plating. What really stood out was the creativity in every dish. It's Mediterranean street food elevated in the best way possible—fresh, bold, and made with real love. The service? Friendly, genuine, and knowledgeable. They happily explained the menu and helped us pick the perfect wine to pair with our meal. If you’re even thinking about visiting Pitot—just go. Trust me. This is the kind of place you want to come back to, again and again.

Wow! Can't say anything else than that I was positively surprised. What a food! Varied and challenging flavors, good balance between cold and warm dishes. Many vegetarian options. Nice Mediterranean twist on the cocktails and the flatbreads are fantastic! Be there or be square!!

The principle: small plates to share, count 3 or 4 per person. The cuisine is close to oriental and leaves plenty of room for vegetables. We enjoyed ourselves even if some dishes were a little too salty for my taste but I will return with great pleasure.

Ate here last Sunday and I don't regret it! We chose the Balagan menu and the chef surprised us wonderfully. Whipped feta with crispy chili oil and (warm!) pita bread was an instant hit, pike-perch ceviche a big 10 and a delicious salad of roasted beets, simple but effective! Etc etc p.s. the Greek chardonnay was also very tasty. Pitot has a new fan.

Surprising menu with tasty food, nice sitting on the terrace (along a busy road, but as far as I'm concerned there's a lot to look at) but also a cozy interior. Sufficient vegetarian options

Discovered this place by accident. It’s very close to the central station but not located in the very buzz of it. The food is just delicious, and the staff is very present, not just doing their job and bringing food but actually taking their time to give you a great experience, offering recommendations and explaining the food they serve. Lovely, highly recommended!!!

Very tasty food, very cozy and nice location a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the center.

Wonderful place for a nice Sunday afternoon lunch! Beautiful small dishes, also vegetarian, with a tasty 0.0 spritz - plenty of time to catch up.

Mediterranean snacks, very tasty. Cozy, also because you share everything with each other. Good price quality

Really a great fun place! Very nice and pleasant atmosphere with beautiful glasses, crockery and beautiful decor. The food had delicious flavors and nice cocktails! Definitely worth repeating.

Beautiful and cozy place with incredibly delicious food. From drinks to dinner, we enjoyed it! Service also nice and casual. Recommended!

In terms of food and interior, it is immediately one of my favorite restaurants in Utrecht. The food is extremely varied and very tasty. I have to say that I did not really get excited about the menu, but we let ourselves be 'surprised' by the kitchen and that turned out very well (including the mackerel, chicken thigh, very good bread with walnuts and feta). The only point of feedback is the service. The service was very rushed and did not seem to really have a handle on it. This while the restaurant was certainly not fully occupied. In the end we had to push the dessert inside because we had to make room for a new reservation. Next time, perhaps keep a better eye on the planning and offer us (and possibly other guests in the future) a coffee at the bar or something like that 🙂. I would like to come back soon to see if anything has been done with the feedback 😉💕.

Delicious mezze, nice wine list, just avoid the olives if you don't like spicy... 😉

New favorite in YOU! Delicious food, friendly service and a very nice atmosphere. Interesting flavor combinations, really something different.

The atmosphere is really nice. Clearly they have thought about every detail. They want to offer an experience more than just food, which is special for the neighbourhood. Plus the food is well thought, the bread is just delicious and the drinks are in perfect balance. We loved it and look forward to see how it will evolve on time

The food was really nice and tasty but unfortunately we had to wait more than an hour for our drinks.

I have seen some lesser reviews but I certainly cannot agree with them, although I would like to point out that I am certainly not uncritical when it comes to the Dutch catering industry. The food was tasty, authentic and balanced (we had the Balagan menu, or for those who want to be surprised) and the staff was helpful and attentive. The only downside - but that hardly justifies a star reduction - is that not all wine countries from the Levant were represented on the wine list, not even which ones you would expect. The reasons for this are somewhat obvious from a commercial perspective in these times, but still.

What a great taste experience and super friendly staff. Definitely go here if you are in Utrecht

What a nice evening! Delicious food, surprising dishes, cozy warm atmosphere and very friendly service. Everything really is just great

Went here for my birthday dinner with friends. Delicious food and cocktails !

I was really looking forward to eating here, unfortunately the price was not in proportion to the quality. A lot of salt and little taste, it is more about aesthetics than quality. Dishes sound good, but in the right dimensions they may fit well together, but the concentration seems to weaken during the evening, so that the taste is no longer in proportion. We chose the menu where excessive burnt flatbread did not improve the taste, but was also not in proportion to the price. My friends had to catch the train, then waited alone for 10 minutes without contact with staff for staff to pay the bill, and then walked to the bar where I was overlooked again, and chatting with each other was more important. Unfortunately, in my opinion it is overhyped and I will not do this again. Drinks are also not on the menu.

I was excited to try the new menu at Pitot, but what should have been a fun evening was unfortunately disappointing. We were constantly reminded by the staff to hurry up with the food because we only had 1.45 for the entire menu. And with a large group of shared dining that is really too tight. This information was also not included anywhere in the reservation, but we still had to deal with it. A shame because the food and the environment have potential.

Delicious meal 3 times. Very disappointed today. First 2 dishes were mediocre and tasteless or too salty. Third was a plate of Raw chicken/not well done at all. Then she told us that we didn't have to pay for it, but then we don't want any further hassle? Bizarre

Super cosy restaurant, located just outside of the very busy city centre. The staff were very friendly and made sure everything was great. The food was really good, we tried different dishes and they were full of flavour, especially the fried halloumi with spices. Our only complaint was that the gamba skewer we ordered came initially raw and cold still, the staff fixed it immediately and shortly we received a new one, cooked to perfection, but still something the chefs shouldn’t have let happen. Overall, a great place and I would definitely return for some of their flatbreads, they’re dreamy! Oh, and definitely book a table in advance!

Food was good, service was bad.

Very cozy place and well designed plates. I am not a big fan of the vegetarian cuisine but the food was really nice. Very nice place for a date as well.

One of the worst experiences in Utrecht… We booked Pitot with a group of 6 for a friend’s birthday, having enjoyed it before. Our reservation at 18:00 was greeted not with a welcome but a reminder we had just 1h45min to finish. This is not mentioned in the Google reservation and management knows this, we would have not booked it for a group otherwise. From the start, we were rushed—our appetizer barely arrived before we were pressured to order quickly “conscious of time.” We only managed one small dish each (you’re meant to have 2-3). When we tried to order one more for our vegetarian friend at 19:15, we were refused and the manager was called. The manager’s handling was appalling—no empathy, dismissive, and even lied about calling us the next day to explain (he never did). We left hungry and went to another restaurant, which, as it turns out, frequently welcomes Pitot’s dissatisfied customers. The food is nice, but with this management, you’ll have a better time at McDonald’s :)

Yesterday, we had a birthday dinner at Pitot with six people, and while the food was excellent, the service was a huge letdown. We booked through Google at 18:00, and nowhere in the reservation did it state that we could only stay until 19:45. Even during our first order, we were reminded to hurry up so we could finish on time. The waitress repeatedly reminded us to be mindful of the time and how much we had left—every single time we ordered something. We flagged this to the manager, explaining that it wasn’t very pleasant and that 1 hour and 45 minutes simply isn’t enough time for a group of six people to enjoy shared dining and wine. His response? He basically said he couldn’t do anything about it and that we just had to leave. Excuse me? There are plenty of things he could have done—be professional, apologize, offer a free dessert, a free drink, or even a voucher to return. Instead, he awkwardly handed us the bill and asked us to leave again because other guests were waiting for the table. Big YIKES.

Delicious food. Great tasty bread too. Super friendly service. Thanks for the beautiful evening.

Very surprising and very tasty, very nice and good service. Top work!

had a very nice meal. you choose from different types of snacks. the service was also good, nice, and polite. We ordered 2 dishes twice, and then 1 more dish, and dessert, and that was perfect. many different types of dishes on the menu. I will definitely stop by when I'm in Utrecht again

Dear people, please do not eat here. This is NOT a middle eastern restaurant but an 'Israeli' restaurant. The owner serves products from this terrorist state without shame. The entire menu is full of Palestinian dishes, how dare you participate in the colonization of Israelis by presenting this as Israeli food? This is a tactic that Israel has long used to justify the occupation. BOYCOTT!

Five stars with a big but: the time slots. There are not many restaurants in Utrecht with a time slot, but this is one of them. That in itself is not a problem, but you have to be able to make it happen. We were given an hour and a half at a restaurant where the concept is that you have to order small dishes in several rounds, which is quite crazy. Then it takes quite a while before the food arrives, so you don't really get the chance to have a good dinner, because in the meantime the precious minutes are ticking away. Unfortunately we couldn't order dessert and would probably have ordered more dishes if we had the chance. We also had to get rid of the bottle of wine quickly, because when the time was up there were new people at the table. Missed opportunity, I think this would otherwise be one of my new recommendations in Utrecht Because: it really is a nice restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very nice. The service is also very friendly and they have a diverse menu.

Not only very tasty (ordered 3 rounds of main courses for dessert), also fantastic service and wonderful ambiance. Nice and busy and still able to understand each other in a normal conversation. Absolutely great

Delicious food in this beautiful restaurant!

OMG everything on the menu is delicious!! 🤍

Good service, food is always tasty and they have nice wines. Plate of ceviche was a little bit small

Great food with good variety (we had the balagan menu). Very helpful and kind staff. Our favourites were the tomato & anchovies, the red chicory salad, and the white chocolate desert was superb!

Fantastic place with a cozy atmosphere and delicious food! Chef Aviv has carefully put together the menu and even came for a chat. Super sweet and attentive staff. Highly recommended - go here!

Really delicious meal with nice wine and very nice service. Lots of choice in small and larger dishes. Highly recommended.

A super cozy, warm atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is refined in taste. All-in-all highly recommended!

Delicious snacks. Nice music, nice atmosphere.

Really nice restaurant! The vibe was really nice! And the food was so tasty and good! The concept is to share, so you can try a lot of dishes!

Burnt chicken and zombie staff. Blegh!

Delicious and surprising food in a relaxed atmosphere with normal prices

Great food. New flavors, never tasted before in Utrecht. Good service. Nice interior ;). No negatives.

Delicious food with a shared dining concept. Nice to try Moroccan wine. Attractive place to sit comfortably.

Had a nice meal at Pitot. New tent. Fine flavors and beautifully served. View of the busy traffic of the Vleutenseweg.

Whenever you drive/cycle past Pitot you can see the atmosphere from a distance, we had to try that too! The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a cozy and warm atmosphere. The service was very relaxed, so you immediately felt the same way. We chose 4 dishes to share. Flatbread with garlic butter was my least favorite of the evening. Well baked flatbread, but that's where it stays. For 12 euros you don't necessarily get value for your money compared to the other dishes you can choose from. This is more of a side dish. Naked sabich, very tasty eggplant with many different flavors. We sometimes found it a bit difficult to really taste the flavors because there were so many. Recommended for the eggplant! Asparagus with avocado aioli, simple dish with 4 asparagus. Tasty but not super special. Then finally the sea bass fillet. Our favorite of the evening. A whole sea bass with fermented lime. Cooked perfectly. Really super tasty! Slightly more expensive than the rest of the dishes, but it is definitely worth it if you like fish. All in all a very nice and delicious evening. The service is top notch. And one important thing, good music.

Delicious and perfect atmosphere!

Nice, well-maintained and tasty addition to the neighborhood. Good menu. Reasonably priced, but the quality more than makes up for it.

I ate Pita Sabich, truly the tastiest thing I have eaten in recent times!!!!! I recommend this to everyone!

Delicious Mediterranean food. We will be coming back here in the future.

Fantastic food, good atmosphere (and decor) and a great price/quality ratio!

Really delicious food, nice atmosphere!

Ate here yesterday. Wow. Super tasty and special flavors. Pleasant staff. We sat outside, which made it a bit noisy due to accelerating engines. But definitely go again!

Delicious food! Great, varied dishes

nice small and creative dishes. Furthermore, a pleasant atmosphere. Recommended!

We have already visited twice. Very good food and relatively low prices.

Heerlijk gegeten echt fantastisch en een fijne bediening. Komen zeker terug voor diner met het hele gezin. !!!!!!!!!!!
