Restaurant De Watertoren — Restaurant in Utrecht

In Rotsoord, just south of the city centre, stands a 37-metre water tower built in 1905–1907, a municipal monument. Since 2015 this restaurant has occupied its top floors, with a view over the city. Chef Bram van der Bor cooks with a French base, and you choose a menu of four to six courses.

The wine list has wines from the Old and New World, natural and conventional, with a wide choice by the glass. On some afternoons the sommeliers take you through eight wines at a wine tasting, with the stories behind them and three lunch dishes. Recommended for dinner with a view in Utrecht, especially as it gets dark and the city lights come on.
