Restaurant Vlonders Utrecht in Wijk 04 Noordoost

Perfect lunch for twelve, young and old, vegetarians and non-vegetarians. In the heat (30°C) under parasols.

Thanks to our colleague, we recently had the pleasure of enjoying an exquisite dinner at this charming restaurant. From the moment we were welcomed, we felt extremely welcome. The young lady who served us throughout the evening did so with an admirable combination of professionalism, hospitality, and knowledge. Her wine recommendations were well-substantiated, and she was always present at exactly the right moment without being intrusive. The culinary experience was simply sublime. An evening where everything was just right: the ambiance, the service, and the cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to returning.

Everything was great!!! Thank you!!

A very nice place for a cozy table grill by the water.

Had a delicious meal, nice place with parking

Super beautiful terrace and had a great time bowling

The menu wasn't special and was on the expensive side. The steak wasn't cooked properly; we asked for "Rare" but it was "done." That's why the two rosés were removed from the bill, as we didn't want to wait for a new one. The portions are so small that you have to order fries on the side. The service was good, though. The atmosphere is okay, until a group of noisy men arrived who were also coughing and talking loudly. Fortunately, it was time for us to leave. It is ridiculous that you have eaten there but still have to pay €1 per car for the exit ticket. That is not service. Very disappointing.

Beautiful location. It's a shame that some guests come in shorts and men in flip-flops. Food reasonably flavorful.

We had lunch with 6 people. One person has a gluten allergy, but all the sandwiches (and many other dishes) could easily be made with gluten-free bread. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. Only the onion soup had to be sent back to the kitchen briefly because they had forgotten to serve the onions, but after that it was fine. It is large, modern, and spacious, and somewhat dark. And we were the only ones there at the beginning; later on, a few more tables filled up. I wouldn't call it truly atmospheric and cozy, but it was fine.

Dropped by quite unexpectedly, with a dog. Matthee acted immediately (provided a bowl of water) and explained the options for a snack. First, we sat lovely on the terrace by the water and then found a spot by the bar (dogs are not allowed in the restaurant area). Everything was well arranged. What a lovely ambiance.

Nice location with a beautiful hidden outdoor terrace. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!!!

Friendly service. Good food. Depending on the table, a view of the park.

The soup could have been a bit warmer, but the taste was good.

Nice terrace and beautiful surroundings, only the food wasn't great.

The place is beautiful, an oasis in the city. The lunch and service were fine. However, they can't make cappuccino; the milk foam is too stiff.

Good restaurant with a very nice view. We had boar 🐗 and a burger 🍔. The boar was really very nice and tasty, the burger was ok but not as the price can expect, also the frites were nearly cold when then were served. Very friendly staff!

Went bowling with a large group and then had an extensive lunch. Great service, good food. A letdown at the end. When we asked for an exit ticket, we had to pay one (1) euro. It is not the amount that bothers me, but the total lack of hospitality on the part of the employee in question. Unfortunately, this action leaves a bad impression.

The food was delicious. The staff was super friendly.

Delicious food. Beautiful, pleasant location. We were comfortable. The entrance is less appealing.

I was especially pleased with the flexibility of my reservation. Two and a half hours before the start, it became clear that three additional guests would be joining me. We also enjoyed the two and a half hours we spent there, with a personal touch from the gentleman in the jacket. Small talk was very welcoming. We also experienced genuine interest in us the next morning. Even though the main courses took a bit longer, I completely understand that with five different dishes and/or different preparations. The food was delicious. With the accompanying drinks, we had a hefty bill. But it was more than worth the money. So, thank you to the entire team and the hotel for taking such good care of us!

Excellent service, very helpful and friendly. The food was also very good. Definitely worth coming back.

We'd expected a more atmospheric setting, but that was disappointing. But we decided to give it a try. We ordered a bread board, which wasn't on the menu but was prepared especially for us. It was delicious. The temperature was uncomfortably cold, so we decided to continue our dinner at a different restaurant.

The food was incredibly delicious, and the staff was super friendly. The atmosphere is great, but it also depends on the guests at your table ;) I would have liked to see them come by more often for drinks, otherwise, it's great! You can check out with a ticket you get at the restaurant (for 1 euro extra).

We had Christmas brunch yesterday and went bowling. It was highly recommended. It was a great atmosphere and the food was excellent.

Nice location, beautiful Christmas decorations, friendly staff, good food.

Six of us had a delicious three-course meal last Saturday night. We paid a hefty bill, plus a €20 tip. As we were leaving, we thought, "I think we need to arrange something before we leave by car." So we went to the bar and had to pay €1 per car. Really underwhelming when you've just spent well over €400 on a meal there. "The guy behind the bar explained that these were the rules :-(" And as we were leaving, the barrier opened automatically, without us having to scan the QR code receipt? I hope you'll do something about this.

Food was delicious, staff was friendly

During a phone call, I made a reservation for lunch for 9 people and agreed that even if we were all 9, we would have a choice from the group menu. The receptionist had to check this out specifically. Unfortunately, I was forced to bring our dachshund. The dog wasn't allowed in the restaurant, but it was in the brasserie. I have a different idea of ​​a brasserie than a table in the hotel lobby. There, they had set the table for 8 people instead of 9. Plates and cutlery for one were placed on a corner of the table. Then we were given the lunch menu. That hadn't been agreed upon, but even after speaking with the manager, it turned out there was no other option than the lunch menu. If I had been alone, I would have left. But with 9 people from all over the country, it's hard to find something different. The food was decent, and we had a good time together. But it left a bad taste in my mouth. You think you've arranged everything perfectly, and then it turns out everything isn't. Not something I'll be repeating.

The room's cleaning could be a bit better. The room was a bit dusty in some places. Maybe it hadn't been used for a while, but I don't know. Otherwise, it was fine.

The food was good, but it was very busy. I would have liked to know the sushi was warm instead of cold. That's a different experience.

Had a group of 10. We ordered appetizers, drinks, dinner and desert. The food was excellent. Steaks were cooked to the proper temperature, fish was fresh and flaky, the burger was tasty with crispy fries, and the duck beat was tender and not fatty. Overall a positive experience and don't miss the chocolate lava desert! Highly recommended restaurant.

the service at this place is fantastic and the vegan onion soup was delicious

Great. Quiet. Excellent service.

Celebrated a lovely birthday party. Outside by the water. Looks beautiful. Enjoyed a delicious, extensive lunch. Self-service.

Great place. It took a while to find it; I thought I was wrong. But it's beautifully situated on the water. The terrace is fantastic; what an oasis of peace. Despite being almost full, it was wonderfully peaceful. We enjoyed the excellent food and very friendly service.

What a special, peaceful spot in Utrecht. Delicious food. We ate here again on July 17, 2025. Delicious food, great service, beautiful location. An oasis of tranquility.

Nice location for a nice chat and delicious food

Great service from Anouck. We felt very well looked after. Food was ok.

Anouke was a great server. Very kind, spoke English and answered all our questions clearly. Food was delicious!

Super nice service. Anouck took great care of us.

I had a really good meal at Vlonders. The food was top notch and the service was friendly. Anouk in particular made our evening extra fun with her enthusiasm!

Vlonders is really a gem. Cozy decor, delicious food and a very nice vibe. Anouk made sure everything went smoothly.

Delicious food and Anouck, a nice waitress, fresh appearance and polite

Had a great evening, especially thanks to Anouck

Food was delicious and Anouck served us very well!

Super tent, especially thanks to the good service from Anouck

Didn't eat but drank a delicious wine on the sunny terrace on the water, nice place, friendly service!

Delicious food after sitting on the Vlonders terrace, what a great place in the middle of the city!

Lovely place on the decking and delicious food....the goat cheese tartar is highly recommended...

Unimaginative, low quality dinner for a top price. Not recommended!

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere with nice service (unfortunately I don't know her name :) )

Went for lunch on a sunny day. What a beautiful setting. The spacious terrace is surrounded by lush greenery and a large water feature. Add to that nice and quick service and delicious food and the afternoon is fantastic. Very nice spot!

Wonderful on the water. Food and staff good. Easy free parking.

It's not often I would write a review about a manager, but the one here is what you'd look for in a manager. He was all over the place greeting customers, pitching in to help his staff, just doing all the things that needed doing. Well done for sure.

10:30 a bit hungry.. Saturday morning, actually only lunch from 11:00 am, not difficult, Fast service and friendly staff

The food and staff are downright bad. Ate several times and always disappointing in terms of taste, freshness of products, etc. The terrace on the water is wonderful. Staff are often stressed (to the point that the service and kitchen were swearing at each other in front of guests). It is a nice terrace for a coffee, but for a meal I advise you to go somewhere else.

Nice restaurant. Excellent food. Nice decor and very nice view. Management is a bit young.

Quite strange that if you want to eat something quickly in a hotel restaurant after checking in, between lunch and dinner, there are no small dishes such as a sandwich, toasted sandwich or even bread with croquette! It comes with fries, so you can't order them separately! Up-sales are important but this is bizarre. Let me start that the wait staff, the guys, are very friendly. For dinner the menu appeals to me, but what comes out of the kitchen does not! Had the jackfruit cocktail as a starter, it was a very greasy bite and had little taste. Even so greasy that after a few bites it became too much for me. When I picked it up, I passed this on to the waiter (more than three-quarters was still on the plate), who passed this on to the manager in the dining room! He looked at it for a moment and walked to the kitchen... that was it! Don't just come by to ask how or what, nothing! No response at all. I'm used to quite a bit of fat, but this was excessive. Went to the room feeling nauseous and threw up. My daughter had the salad with fried camembert, thinking that you get a delicious piece of camembert, which is sprouting, on your plate with salad around it. Hard pieces that tasted nothing like camembert...onion soup was watery and had little flavor. Breakfast: seems extensive, there is no love in terms of layout and taste. Hummus from containers from wholesaler (Hanos/Sligro) thrown into a bowl. home-made tuna salad...just mashed and completely tasteless, as is the warm side of scrambled eggs etc. In short, not recommended... one can improve so much here in a simple way!

We booked one night at Mitland and had dinner at this restaurant. First, a staff brought wrong food to our table and there was an argument between the one who took order and the one who brought food to our table. My husband order burger and it was aweful. The burger is hard as if it was left for a few days, the beef was just a bit warm as if they just reheated (not freshly cooked). I ordered the roasted beef salad and the beef was entirely cold. I also ordered bread with herbutter and again the bread was just a bit warm! And my onion soup was very salty, hardly said it was onion soup! We asked the bill and the staff asked us to come to the bill machine to get the bill and go to card machine to pay. We dont understand what kind of service is that in a 4-star hotel. And the price is expensive. I would say it was overpriced compared to what it offered. Wont recommend this place.

Good service but extremely expensive for the quality of the food

Food really bad. Sushi with cooked salmon, the burger had hard pieces Salad I ordered at lunch was not what was described (goat cheese with plums, hazelnuts and walnuts) but a bowl of lettuce with a slice of goat cheese on top. When I asked about it I was given some walnuts. Bizarre, for €15. Service extremely bad You expect good food from the prices, which it is quite expensive. And you also expect more from a restaurant in a large hotel.

nice quite place at a little lake. in and outdoor seating

Restaurant à éviter. Ils ne savent pas cuisiner. Le burger est soit disant haché grossièrement (sur la carte) comme nous l’aimons mais à l’arrivée c’est un steak compact et Immangeable. Sans compter que tous les ingrédients n’y sont pas. Autre plat testé : brochette de poulet. Mangeable !!!!! Mais c’est tout. Et des plats à 26€. Passez votre chemin chez Mac Do c’est meilleur.

Zeer slechte prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. eten is redelijk tot ok (en niet meer an dat). Prijzen zijn echt belachelijk voor wat je krijgt. Zie bv. Bijgevoegde “ kaasplateau” . Paar lullige flintertjes kaas. En dat voor 15 euro.

Superlocatie aan het water op een zomerdag, vriendelijk personeel maar wat ik al had gelezen: de prijs kwaliteitverhouding is flink scheef. Saté van 26,50 was smaakvol maar niet bijzonder veel (1 stokje) met wat kleine zure augurkjes, een hoopje atjar en 4 kroepoekjes. De frietjes waren ook niet bijzonder. Collega had lamskoteletjes, heb nog nooit zulke platte plakjes gezien. De hoeveelheid Shakshuka viel ook tegen en de desserts waren ook klein. Dat verwacht je niet voor zulke prijzen! Voor mij een geval “leuk voor een keer maar niet meer”.

Helaas niet de kwaliteit die ik verwacht had. Meer kroeghapniveau dan hotelwaardig. Duur voor wat je krijgt.

Wir waren bisher nur an der Bar, diese hat aber absolut überzeugt. Tolle Auswahl, schneller, freundlicher Service und Barkeeper, die immer für ein flotten Spruch oder ein wenig Smalltalk zu haben sind haben uns den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht und uns die Abende versüßt. Mit einem der Barkeeper habe ich mich so gut verstanden, dass er mir sogar einen Espressotini gemixt hat obwohl er nicht auf der Karte steht. Tiptop.

Het eten is prima. Ambiance goed. Het buitenterras is uitstekend!!

Heel goed hotel voor een weekendje Utrecht

Heel gezellig en toegankelijk. Mooie aankleding en je word hartelijk ontvangen. Een aanrader.

Lekker eten & vriendelijke en deskundige service! Aanrader.

Zag er goed uit. Echter de smaak is niet wat je mag verwachten van een gerecht in een restaurant. Ook de burger was nog koud en rauw van binnen. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding ligt te ver uit elkaar. Te prijzig!

Fijn hotel. Ze maken er voor de gasten het beste van tijdens de lockdown. Electrisch laden is verbetering mogelijk. De auto moet helemaal aan het einde van het hotel en als daar ook je kamer is, dan is het een flink eind want je moet naar de hoofd ingang, ook al zijn er tussenin elektrische deuren. Verder een fijne en mooie plek, vriendelijke medewerkers. We ontbijten hier af en toe, en dat is over het algemeen ok. Verse producten zijn niet altijd vers en zelfs een roerei van verse eieren is teveel gevraagd. Het is ei poeder (idd getver), je herkent het aan waterige op de bodem. De veelgebruikte smoes is dat er geen verspilling is, maar smaak heeft het ook niet. Voor kinderen is het ontbijt prima, alleen de lunchkaart bestaat voor het kindermenu alleen uit frituur. Geen gezond broodje, geen uitzondering. Het is simpelweg niet kindvriendelijk.

Geen eten buiten, het was 19 graden en heerlijk weer.

Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Prachtige locatie. Zeer hoge kwaliteit eten en drinken. Mooi en sfeervol ingericht. Redelijke prijzen.

Eten opzich wel prima, maar we hebben 1,5 uur moeten wachten op alleen een hoofdgerecht. het was een chaos

Prijs / kwaliteit verhouding van eten laat te wensen over. Qua locatie met uitzicht op het water prima.

A very nice restaurant, since we stayed at the hotel we ordered our dinner. It was very nicely made, definitely worth it

Tijdens ons wekelijkse uitstapje hebben we voor onze zaterdagse lunch voor het eerst een bezoek gebracht aan dit restaurant. Het is een mooie grote zaak die uit verschillende gedeeltes bestaat. Je hebt er aan de achterzijde uitzicht op een deel van de gracht die bijna geheel ‘Fort de Bildt’ omgeeft. We hebben er genoten van een smakelijk lunchgerecht. Het bedienend personeel was vriendelijk en attent. Het was er toen wij er waren niet druk.

Leuke vergaderlocatie. Goed ontbijt en lunch

Super Hotel. Absolut empfehlenswert

Great place ! Nice people, super warm staff in the bar

Mooi terras aan het water, erg lekker gegeten, vriendelijke bediening. Een klein minpuntje; Helaas was er geen port terwijl die wel op de kaart stond.

Verstopt prachtig gelegen terras met goede service. Gelegen in, achter Midland hotel. Niet doorrijden, maar in de zon aan het water genieten

Prachtige locatie, midden in de natuur maar vlakbij de stad. En heerlijk eten.

The view is great, but you have to arrive through the hotel which is kinda meh. Also, their offering in drinks and food is very mainstream, including the way of plating. Friendly service though.

Heerlijk gegeten aan het water!
