Restaurant Badhuis — Restaurant in Utrecht

On the Willem van Noortplein, in north-east Utrecht, stands the old municipal bathhouse from 1927, built in the Amsterdam School style. Nobody bathes here any more, but people do eat well: accessible fine dining, with many dishes cooked on the grill over an open fire.

The wine list is put together with knowledge and fairly priced, with sparkling, white, rosé and red by the glass and by the bottle — from a Blanquette de Limoux to wines that go beyond the familiar names. With the chef's menu you can choose a wine pairing by the glass, and wine-and-food lunches are held regularly together with Utregs Wijnhuis. You can also simply have a glass at the round bar, or on the terrace on the square in good weather. Recommended for dinner in a special building, just outside the bustle of the city centre.
