Heimat — Restaurant in Utrecht

On the Biltstraat, just outside Utrecht's city centre, chef Niels van Zijl opened his own restaurant in April 2024. Van Zijl previously cooked at DeZusters in Maarssen and was named New Chef on the Block by Gault&Millau in 2022. He works with the seasons and a regular group of suppliers, and vegetables take centre stage — fish and meat are on the menu too.

The wines are displayed in large wooden cabinets in the dining room. Sommelier Bas Janssen (DipWSET) helps you choose and looks for wines that suit the dishes, with affordable finds alongside well-known names. Recommended for anyone in Utrecht who wants refined food with a good glass of wine.
