De Utrechter
Utrecht, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
On Vredenburg, a minute from the concert hall and the station end of town, De Utrechter cooks regional Dutch food at everyday prices. Regional here means Dutch and local: familiar dishes cooked properly rather than reinvented, with mains around €16. Two independent local sources list it as a neighbourhood favourite. The terrace faces one of the busiest squares in Utrecht, which is either the point or the problem depending on the day, and the kitchen keeps vegetarian and vegan options on the card throughout. A useful, unpretentious address in a part of the centre where that is rarer than it should be.
