Café-Restaurant Terroir

Finally, Utrecht has a homey, comfortable restaurant with a true focus on wine! On the border of the city centre, on the calm Lange Nieuwstraat, is neighbourhood restaurant Terroir. Situated in a historic former living house with light decoration and original ornaments, the place feels warm and friendly. Well done to the bearded owner Wim Rieff (is it necessary to add the word bearded? Take a look for yourself) and sommelier Julian Klaassen.

As a relatively young start-up (it opened in 2021), the wine list continues to grow but is already significant and rather diverse. Don’t expect to find expensive icons here, but true-to-type, honest wines and interesting finds – a place for the real wine lover, not for collectors or snobs.

Don’t forget about the food: a great selection of nice, well-priced à la carte dishes can be enjoyed. Vegetables, fish, meat, everything is spot on.
