Donkeregaard 8
Trendy but pleasant cafe, and definitely to be preferred above its
neighboring bar
Bartje. This is where world-famous
children's book writer Dick Bruna enjoys his daily coffee and paper.
And why not? Their capuccino is wonderful, and brought to your
table with a smile. If you want to enjoy their terrace, do so in
the morning--the sun will be blocked by other building after around
noon. If you're tall you might have a problem climbing the cramped
stairs leading to the toilets. Despite the good atmosphere, we
advise you not to eat here if you are hungry; go to
de Luifel instead. Interestingly, this is one of the
very few cafes in Utrecht that have no cigarette vending machine
(
Marktzicht is another).

stadskasteel Oudaen
Oudegracht 99
A grand cafe and brewery located in a very old castle (guided tours
can be arranged on request). Extremely nice interior, fitting the
original building, you really feel like being in a castle. In
weekends it attracts mainly yuppies trying to find a companion for
the evening by showing off with their well-stuffed wallets. The
home-made beer is good, but it shows in the price. Friendly service,
but be in time to prevent them from putting ice in your w(h)isk(e)y.
Oudaen started its
own
homepage. As rumor has it, Oudaen has recently been saved from
bankruptcy by Krasnapolsky after the former owner had made a mess
of the financial situation of the castle and fled to a far country.
