Hemel & Aarde — Restaurant in Utrecht

In the listed Polman's Huis on the Keistraat, close to the Janskerkhof, Hemel & Aarde opened in 2021 — under the same roof as the hotel The Nox. The kitchen follows the seasons, with fermentation as a common thread. Executive chef René van der Weijden previously cooked at Karel V in Utrecht.

Next to the restaurant is Wijnbar Hemel & Aarde, its younger sibling. There the sommelier team chooses wines that follow the rhythm of the seasons, with snacks and dishes from the same kitchen that change along with the wines. You can book, but walking in is fine too. Recommended for a full dinner or just a few glasses of wine at the bar, in the heart of Utrecht's city centre.
