Rabarber in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

The reviews are all spot on. Great service and very unusual, delicious food 👌🏻

Feel like the food taste is overrated! We came for Brunch, had Mediterranean and Fired egg. The Mediterranean one was tasty lest, hot watermelon i didn’t like. Also the fried egg was a bit sweet and didn’t like it either.

We had a hearty breakfast, with a mixed plate (I confess it wasn't what I'm used to and had some spicy things for my taste), and we also ordered a croissant with jam that was wonderful! Very good service.

Super interesting, healthy and delicious flavor combinations that you won't find anywhere else!

Super friendly service and delicious food. I'll definitely come back on my next visit to Utrecht!

A restaurant where I found the food delicious and the staff very welcoming. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow, which made this brief moment of relaxation a little frustrating. It's always more pleasant to enjoy a good meal without having to wait too long. In the meantime, I have fond memories of the flavors I discovered.

Always good! Be sure to try the corn pancakes here for breakfast. Friendly staff, and it's nice that a carafe of water is placed on the table when you sit down :)

One of my favorite coffee shops in Utrecht. It is authentic, the coffee is good, and the staff is always friendly. The cakes are also well worth trying.

We had a really delicious meal, the service was very friendly, and there was nice music.

Lovely place, very creative nice dishes and nice people. I will go back there again ❤️

It is always a pleasure to sit at Rhubarber, with an innovative menu that inspires. We had a sourdough with Taleggio and grilled nectarines and a Dirty Grey. The flavors could have been a bit more balanced, but it was still delicious!

The location is great, and the service was nice, but the food was ridiculous. I paid 9.5 euros for some of the worst (corn) pancakes I had in my life, which tasted like bland tortillas from the supermarket. It is especially strange that the menu consists of like 5 main items and this was deemed good enough to be one of them.

What a wonderful experience this was. The dishes not only looked beautiful but tasted truly fantastic too. Everything was prepared super fresh, and the combinations of ingredients are surprisingly good. I especially enjoyed the plate with the fried eggs, the beetroot, and the fresh dill. The presentation is really top-notch, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant. Highly recommended if you are in Utrecht.

We ordered two cappuccinos today. They were both lukewarm. After we pointed this out to the waitress, she said that was a shame. And that was it. I will never come here again.

Cozy spot. Not too busy when I was there. 2 dishes on the menu and 1 daily special. Well-prepared food with unique flavors. Adventurous. Tasty cheese board and delicious dessert wine.

A gem: really great food with a warm and welcoming atmosphere which can be enjoyed both inside & outside

Always delicious food, good coffee, friendly service, and with a favorite spot by the window.

Really fabulous little bright cafe/bar...and the waitress is really beautiful.

Interesting art. Friendly staff. Got a bit loud. While it shows how popular the place is, not ideal for a chat.

Nice little place with good food. There wasn't much choice on the menu. However, there were many different cakes. What I liked best was that you received table water immediately upon arrival.

A cozy spot with unique lunch dishes where vegetables take center stage. The homemade pastries looked delicious too; I definitely have to come back for those.

The flavors were really mediocre, and the portions were very small.

Had an incredibly delicious lunch here. Unfortunately, the butter beans with wild garlic were sold out, but the pea dip with rhubarb was delicious. The jasmine tea was also tasty. My only minor downside is the acoustics: it is quite shrill inside. The chairs are comfortable though!

Stop looking up places to eat for lunch. This is it. This is the place.

Delicious food! So many interesting flavours in one dish. They were true to their name and included rhubarb in the dishes we ordered. I appreciated the calmness of the restaurant.

Lovely coffee and environment here. I've come for brunch a few times and always had nice food, drinks and service. Really cute place with a unique feel and friendly service.

Super delicious food, cozy little restaurant. Highly recommended!

Friendly service, tasty food and a good beer selection

Popped in for coffee while visiting Utrecht. Great cappuccino, lovely ambience and service. Really enjoyed the visit!

…simply beautiful and pleasant to be here, right by the cathedral, super friendly service!

Unfortunately, it's too expensive for what it is. We suspect they have a changing menu. Our dishes didn't impress us. We'd classify this restaurant as hyped.

good coffee, good cakes, good vibes

We stumbled upon this place by chance. Fantastic vegetarian and vegan creations that even make meat-eaters like me happy! Very friendly staff!

Awesome vibes, nice staff and ppl

The food was good, although the menu was small. The service was friendly.

Excellent service, great food, far too noisy. There is no attempt to deaden the sound in here. I'll go back if it's near empty, but otherwise I'm not the target market.

I was looking for a place in Utrecht where I could just sit comfortably, alone or with someone. I've finally found it. The service was friendly, and the pastries were delicious. So, I'll be back to Rabarber soon to try something else on the menu.

Delicious vegetarian food, nice atmosphere, and good service. Highly recommended!

We had a delicious lunch. Thank you!

Very nice atmosphere, breakfast and coffee...in the center of Utrecht..I recommend it!

The food was surprisingly delicious! The price and quality were also good. A little short on staff for the busyness, but everyone was very attentive and hardworking.

Had a really delicious lunch 💛. Lovely people and beautiful, original, and delicious food!

Perhaps the coziest spot in Utrecht, with a fantastic atmosphere. The fully vegetarian menu is also fantastic! The execution could be a bit better: the portions are quite small, and the flavors could be a bit stronger. But it has the potential to become one of the tastiest and most enjoyable coffee/lunch spots in Utrecht.

A charmingly decorated café with exceptional small dishes and super friendly service right in the heart of Utrecht. We went twice. Highly recommended, especially for vegetarians and foodies!

Limited menu but tasty and healthy options readily available.

I come here very often and enjoy it; the food is always delicious and unique. Whatever you order, you can be sure it's delicious. For those who are a bit more adventurous with food, you won't find your average healthy sandwich or hamburger here. But! For those looking to broaden their palette, this is absolutely perfect.

The menu is a mystery. All ingredients you've never heard of. So just order and prepare to be surprised. Everything is fresh, creative, and healthy. Take-home service, so friendly and helpful.

Delicious vegetarian food. Vegan options available. A real treat! Everything from appetizers, main course, and dessert! The chairs are simple and not very comfortable.

Food was fine, too crowded and overpriced.

I had the roasted beet sourdough and the sweet potato babka- both incredibly delicious

This place gets a 10/10 for the atmosphere, super cute. The staff was nice too. I was a bit sad that I didnt get to eat anything with Rabarber in it haha… but the food we got was good. Minor points taken off for more potential flavor and that we got seated at the bar. But i would still recommend this place.

Unfortunately quite rude service ! I was told by one employee I could order to go and then when I went to order I was told I could not order to go because they were too busy! I was very excited to try the coffee and a pastry at this place, which would not be difficult to serve as a to-go order…but I will happily go somewhere else more welcoming!

Great service. We visited for dinner. Just three main dishes on the menu but an interesting place if you fancy trying some unusual vegetarian recipes. The starters looked good and could be selected to make a main ‘tapas’ meal

Ha! Finally a breakfast place in Utrecht with good service, delicious food, and without that patronizing no alcohol before midnight policy! Highly recommended.

A second living room with simply the best flavors of Utrecht. Every menu has at least one dish I'll be coming back for every week. And that butter cake!

Roasted yellow beet toast and krombek bean salad were both fantastic. Tables were full when we walked in for lunch on a Saturday, but we were allowed to wait at the small bar area until a table opened up, which was only about 10 minutes.

This used to be one of my favourite places during my student years in Utrecht, so I was excited to come back last Friday to relive some memories. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the cheesecake we ordered. The cake tasted distinctly burned, even though it was not immediately visible at first sight. It seemed as if whipped cream had been added on top to disguise the burnt layer. Once we removed the "slagroom," we saw that the top was indeed burned. In addition, there was too much crust compared to the filling, which made the cake unbalanced. But the most unpleasant aspect was still the burnt taste. I want to believe it was just an unfortunate day for the baker, but it did leave me wondering: isn’t there any quality check before serving cakes? Surely someone must have noticed the burnt top, or the baker themselves. Covering it with cream did not solve the problem—it only made it feel misleading. Sadly, I have to say this was the worst cheesecake I’ve ever tried. On a positive note, the service was correct (though not particularly warm), and the atmosphere remained as charming as always.

I had the best scrambled eggs of my life here. Great coffee as well. Phenomenal.

On Sunday mornings, Rhubarb opens at 9:00 AM. Perfect for grabbing breakfast on time. Unfortunately, it wasn't. We arrived a bit early, at 8:59 AM, and the waitress told us to wait a minute. That's fine. We waited outside until she was done. We ordered coffee. When it was brought, we indicated we wanted breakfast, but no one asked. The waitress took our order. We heard her talking to the kitchen staff, saying the kitchen wasn't supposed to open until 9:30 or 10:00 AM. It took about five minutes before she came back out. There, she explained it would take longer because the kitchen still had to start up. When we asked how long that would take, she went to ask. Because that was also taking a long time, and all we heard was chatter and laughter coming from the kitchen, we paid for our coffee and left. The staff seemed to think that was a good decision. This way, they could start their own business in a relaxed manner. Maybe put on the website and menu that dinner is only available from 10:00? That would prevent any annoyance.

really cute coffee and brunch spot! we only tried the coffees - iced latte & an espresso tonic, which were both really nice! the staff was really sweet and welcoming, and the prices were average.

Amazing food, drinks, service, and atmosphere!! Will definitely visit again. Thank you, it was lovely!

Friendly service, unique dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere. Everything is vegetarian or vegan, and the menu changes regularly. The elderflower lemonade is highly recommended :)

Huge compliments, what a surprise! How deliciously simple can be so incredibly delicious. Lots of places could learn a lot from this. The excellent service really completed the picture.

We had a great experience at Rabarber when we went there without a reservation. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious and homemade!

Delicious breakfast - your classics with a twist. Coffee and service was also amazing

First, the online menu was different from the actual menu, which was already slightly frustrating. Then, for €15, I got a dollop of hummus that tasted no better than the supermarket one, a small pile of chickpeas with some dill and oil, and a pita bread cut into quarters. It's absurd that something like this is served for such a high price, when seemingly little effort was put into it. The service was very friendly, by the way, but I take that for granted when dining out.

Lovely spot with good coffee and tasty drinks. Great for lunch!

Had a delicious lunch, unique flavors and textures, yum! The table was tiny, though.

Super tasty food and nice staff!

A really lovely lunch spot with a tasty menu! The staff were very friendly and the vibes were great. We went on a Saturday lunch time and the place seemed understaffed so it did take over 45 minutes for our food to come but I would still go back!

Delicious food and super friendly service!

Great place with delicious food! Highly recommended!

Great coffee and cakes - cheese cake is amazing

Very tasty, freshly prepared and originally prepared vegetarian food.

Overall, a good place with safe food options (healthy ingredients, vegetarian- and vegan-friendly). They have interesting pies and brunch choices. Their signature ingredient is, of course, rhubarb, and they know how to cook it. We liked everything we ordered, but I wouldn’t say anything was exceptional enough to give 5 stars. Cappuccino was good. They also have cocktails to make your brunch boozy, but I haven’t tried them. What I would improve is the atmosphere. It feels like it could use a bit of maintenance – my coffee plate was chipped, and the paint on some chairs was peeling. I would also improve the presentation of the cake stand; right now, it looks a bit messy in my opinion. But overall, I can recommend the place. especially if you’re looking for rhubarb. .

Very creative dishes on the menu! Definitely worth it.

When we wanted to go for dinner, the restaurant was unfortunately full, but we were offered a seat at the bar, which we did. We hadn't made a reservation. We were able to move to a seat by the window when a seat became available. The food took a while to prepare, but the freshness of the food made up for it. The service staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. It was easy to have a conversation in the restaurant because it wasn't too loud.

This was the most wonderful meal I've had in a very long time. Everything I tried (sourdough with marmite butter, oeufs mayonnaise, and roasted beet soup) was so thoughtfully put together and perfectly balanced. The service was friendly and the atmosphere is too. What a gem!

Very nice vegetarian restaurant without any posh frills. Adventurous food and a very human aproach of the friendly personel. Also lots a vegan options, lots of fresh ingredients. Highly reccomended for people that enjoy an alternative to posh restaurants without giving up the quality of food.

Delicious food! Small menu, but I like that. But a large selection of cocktails! That was also very tasty.

Nice food and nice coffee! Can get quite busy on the weekends. Definitely try “Dirty Earl” if you’re an iced coffee lover! 😋👌🏻 Dog-friendly 🦮😍

A lovingly decorated café with vintage charm – ideal for a relaxed breakfast or a leisurely lunch. The dishes are creative, fresh, and completely vegetarian, many of them vegan. The cakes and the excellent breakfast options are particularly recommended. The service is extremely friendly and cheerful. A true insider tip in the heart of Utrecht.

What a nice place with personal and careful service.

We were there a little after lunchtime, it was rather empty, but we still had a really good meal there. Nice and courteous staff.

Mijn dochter wilde graag naar binnen, Ik ben blij dat ze me heeft overgehaald, vriendelijke bediening en heerlijk eten, zeker het geld meer dan waard, hier komen we terug

Really good cakes but I loved their homemade kombucha even more! Definitely recommended

Everyone is kind and friendly, the food is really great! Well done! 👏

Nice place for lunch, a coffee or dinner. Organic options. Homemade feel to the food.

Highly recommended!! The chilled red wine was really delicious, I also had the negroni olives and the oeuf mayo, waaah I just licked my plate hahah! Super nice people and really great dishes💗

This place is a complete scam. Besides that it took them forever to take the order and bring any drinks, we waited 30 min for three appetisers which were wrong (counting all guests we were 9 people). Their “cheese plate” is three pieces of any cheese with marmelade and a bunch of seeds and terribly cut/ thin/ cold bread. The olives are the ones of the jar with a bunch of terribly cut chives on top. Pricy for the terrible service and quality.

A very nice lunch spot! You were spontaneously offered tap water. The menu has different things, mainly savory dishes but very tasty!

Wow Rarely eaten so deliciously ❣️ …visiting Utrecht a MUSTHAVE

Absolutely delightful homemade cakes!

Completely overrated in my opinion. Small, full, dark shop with an uninviting atmosphere for me, bad air

Awesome atmosphere in this lovely vegetarian restaurant. Plenty of items could be made vegan so we shared some mushroom on toast and a pumpkin stew, both were great! Service was very friendly and accommodating

A lovely Cafe in the centre of Utrecht. It's quite busy but I didn't have to wait long until I was seated. Delicious hot chocolate (with real chocolate!) and eggs for lunch. Love the vibe and the friendly staff.

(Very) small restaurant/café but really cool. We went there for lunch without any reservation and, although they were expecting a larger group and had to free half of the tables (which meant that we had to swap our table about halfway through our lunch), the waitress did her best to find another cosy spot for us. The food was very tasty. They had 3 savoury and 2 sweet vegan options. I tried the mushrooms toast and the pumpkin stew, both delicious, and my friend had the croque madame, which she also liked a lot (although I must say that the slices of bread seemed very large to me). Overall a good experience and recommendable lunch option.

Nice cappuccinos and really loved the breakfast. Very very tasty.

Always love visiting this place. Super nice menu

Super fun, super tasty and super special! Must-go when you are in Utrecht. They have the tastiest chai latte ever here!
