We have a spot in Utrecht for you that we love. It is restaurant Le Jardin where vegetables play the leading role and you feel like you are in France for a while. Have lunch or dinner in this green oasis.
Restaurant Le Jardin, a sustainable gem in Utrecht
Oelala, having lunch or dinner at Le Jardin restaurant means being pampered. Expect French classics, great wine pairing and friendly service. In short, truly a night out for anyone who likes to celebrate life and make special culinary discoveries. Why this restaurant definitely belongs on the greener list is not only because of its botanical interior - the restaurant is packed with plants and they grow vegetables and herbs in a greenhouse in the middle of the establishment - but mainly because of their vision of sustainable cooking, which founder Lars calls ‘groentenomie’. In other words, higher cooking skills with vegetables in the lead. Now you understand why we love this restaurant and return here very much and regularly to enjoy their choice menu, which - of course - moves with the seasons.
