Jozef eten & drinken — Restaurant in Utrecht

First and foremost, the quality of the restaurant lies within it's cozy asthetic and atmosphere. The place feels like a living room that happens to also have an adjacent bar. There's even a cat that walks around the premise! Great for drinks!

Though for what it makes up in asthetics, does lack a bit on the menu, I had a tosti and and egg sandwich. But both meals, though beautifully plated and were fairly bland. In my opinion the quality of the dishes were good for portion size but a little overpriced for how simple the servings were. (Mind you I eat vegetarian and so this might differ for those with more carnivorous diets).

Our server was fast in service but very neutral in his expression. Not particularly welcoming but far from hostile. And he did seem to know the menu fairly well.

Very friendly staff without ever being obnoxious, and an extremely pleasant way to spend an evening. No one rushed me to finish, no one rushed me to pay. I have to say, if all "basic eateries" were like this one, the world would be a...

Disappointing Food & Poor Service

I used to enjoy coming here with the kids and for coffee, but this was the third time in a row I’ve left disappointed.

The spicy chicken was so over-marinated that it was inedible — you couldn’t taste the chicken at all. When I mentioned this, the staff- lady - response was dismissive: “I’ll tell the chef,” and then walked away. No apology, no solution.

Waiting times were also longer than expected, which only added to the frustration.

I don’t expect fine dining from a casual place, but basic quality and respectful service should be standard. Sadly, it feels like they don’t care about customers anymore — and that’s exactly how you lose them.

I have to say that latte and...
