  Great place just the service was to me kind of strange we ordered two ice coffee and a tea but when the waiter came she accidentally spilled some coffee on the table…. Now you would think she gets something would comeback to clean it real quick but no we had to do it ourselves. Was good we had baby whipes with us but otherwise was a bit disappointed….. the food itself was OK would rather advice to go here for drinks rather than to eat.

  They repeatedly got the products and quantities we ordered wrong and served incorrect items. The service is extremely slow. If you don’t want to wait 1.5 hours after ordering your food, do not come here. We also ordered duck, and it was undercooked inside. The oysters came gritty and uncleaned. I absolutely do not recommend this place—don’t come. We were very dissatisfied.

  We came for gathering but receive a very bad service from waitress. I ask for the beer on the menu but the waitress does not know it and ask me to check with the bar instead, what a service!! We order catch of the day and the waitress brings the food and spill the oil on my friend’s iPhone…seriously unacceptable. No urgently or action to take necessary action just ask after served the plate whether my friend phone is ok or not…. In term of the food, we order variety of food to share and most of the food is very salty. The fried ideas over cooked, rib is mostly burnt so do the chicken. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant for dining dinking at the bar is ok.

  My wife and I had the pleasure of exploring the historic city centre of Utrecht on a walking tour, graciously hosted by a dear friend. After an enriching visit to the Dom and several other historic buildings and churches, he invited us to lunch at the iconic Winkel van Sinkel, located at Oudegracht 158. From the outside, the building exudes a colonial charm, and as we stepped inside, we were pleasantly surprised by the club-like dining area—spacious, tastefully decorated, and brimming with character. Given that it was lunchtime, the restaurant was bustling with diners, but thanks to our host’s thoughtful reservation, we secured a lovely table at the front, offering a strategic view of the lively atmosphere. Winkel van Sinkel has separate menus for lunch and dinner, and we opted for their signature "Luxury Lunch," priced at €17.50 per person. This included a creamy mustard soup, a veal croquette on a grilled brioche sandwich, and a smoked salmon salad. Our meal arrived promptly within 15 minutes, beautifully presented on a wooden platter. The mustard soup was warm and flavourful, though the chef had been a little too generous with the mustard, lending it a slightly bitter edge. The veal croquette was comfortably nestled on a thick slice of freshly baked bread—quite different from the grilled brioche described in the menu—but still enjoyable. A small portion of butter, no more than 10 grammes, accompanied it. The smoked salmon, perfectly cured, was layered over fresh sliced tomatoes, which rested on a bed of peppery rocket (arugula). A well-balanced dressing complemented the salad, enhancing its freshness. The portion sizes were just right, and the overall presentation was elegant. To round off our meal, we enjoyed a cup of freshly brewed, piping hot coffee. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the pleasant experience. Winkel van Sinkel is an excellent place to relax and recharge after an extensive walking tour—especially on a chilly winter day. However, locating the washrooms proved to be a bit of a challenge. All in all, dining at this historic landmark, steeped in culinary tradition, was a delightful experience, and one we would gladly recommend.

  It's a nice place to sit and have beer or cocktail. Had a bowl of special fries, which was good. Service was a bit slow, but this place is more to enjoy a sunny spring day than anything else.
