Sustainable eating at Héron Petit Restaurant
If you thought sustainable food was boring or not tasty, taste again. One of our favorite places for a special meal is Héron Petit Restaurant in the centre of Utrecht. This restaurant previously appeared in the list of best restaurants in Utrecht. It's anything but your standard steak-and-fries restaurant, which is why it's so fun to try out. Héron's logo is the heron, and if you know how they work in this sustainable restaurant, you also understand why this is their great source of inspiration. Put it on you to-do list in Utrecht, at Barts Boekje we are fans!
At Héron Petit Restaurant it's all about pure and honest food. Everything that appears on your plate comes directly from the farmer, the horticulturist, the livestock farmer, the cheese maker and the fisherman. Even down to the wine supplier. The menu is seasonal, and what's extra nice is that at Héron they are great at preserving ingredients. The restaurant is full of jars of special ingredients, which sometimes even come from a different year.
The team also goes into nature to pick the food themselves in the area around Utrecht. As they say so nicely: they forage together just like their source of inspiration and also the logo, the heron, their food.
Anyone who eats at Héron must be a bit adventurous, or at least be curious about a different restaurant experience. These are special, refined dishes that are prepared with a lot of love and attention. Every now and then you need Google to look up an ingredient, or the waiter sees your questioning look from across the restaurant. They will of course explain to you the passion that the Héron team has for their menu and working methods. So, when will you join us?
