The heavy hitters for an all-day brunch
Utrecht has mastered the all-day concept, meaning you never have to worry about missing the breakfast menu.
Teds All Day Brunch: Located in a stunning wharf cellar, Teds is the undisputed king of brunch in Utrecht. From breakfast burritos to "Eggs Teds," they serve the full menu from opening until closing.
Frenchie Cafe: A trendy, pastel-filled spot perfect for those who like their brunch with a side of aesthetics. Expect American-style pancakes, colorful smoothie bowls, and creative toast toppings.
Anne & Max: A reliable local favorite that offers brunch for two platters, making it the perfect choice for a slow Sunday date.
Global flavors and fusion
For those who want something beyond the traditional Dutch breakfast, these spots offer a world of flavor.
The Streetfood Club: Known for its wild decor and even wilder menu, this is the place for high-energy brunching. Think Asian-inspired small plates, bao buns, and some of the best brunch cocktails in the city.
Vegitalian: This wildly popular vegetarian spot offers an Italian twist on brunch. Their breakfast pizzas and truffle egg dishes are absolute must-tries.
Kimmade: While technically a Vietnamese street food spot, their lunch offerings are perfect for a savory, light brunch that feels fresh and authentic.
Wharf cellar wonders
Dining "aan de werf" (at the wharf) is a quintessential Utrecht experience. These spots let you eat right at water level.
Beers & Barrels: While known for dinner, their "B&B" lunch and brunch menu is hearty and satisfying, especially if you can snag a seat right on the canal edge.
Rum Club: This tropical-themed basement bar and restaurant offers a "Brunch & Bottomless" vibe that will transport you straight to the Caribbean, even if it's raining outside.
