Sea Salt Saloon

Sea Salt Saloon

Also known as the fish bistro of Utrecht, Sea Salt Saloon. A place where you are served pure fish without any fuss. As far as we're concerned, the purer the better, we love. The fish is caught responsibly and is as fresh as possible, which is also important to us. Our favorite spot is outside on the terrace, on a pleasantly busy street in Utrecht there are a number of tables where you can enjoy your fish dishes. The menu includes dishes to eat share, such as Baba Ganoush with raw marinated Swordfish, Tuna Tartare, Dorade (hint hint, it's really tasty), fried scallop, are you starting to drool yet? Oh and almost forgot the oysters. For this you have to go to the waiter, who will tell you what the range of the day is. As they say at Sea Salt Saloon 'Take life with a grain of salt, flat oysters and a Hermit Gin & Tonic', we have nothing more to add!

The Seafood Bar

The Seafood Bar

Started in Amsterdam with three locations, one in Utrecht and one outside the borders of our country in London. The Seafood Bar in Utrecht is high on the list when it comes to fish restaurants. It is a modern fish restaurant, set up by the De Visscher family. There's plenty of fish: the menu is overflowing with all sorts of goodies from the sea. Finger food, Soups, the beloved Fish & Chips, Fruits de Mer, Oysters, there are plenty of options of everything. All fish is caught as sustainably as possible and on line. You can relax there, but this is also a favorite for a quick bite. You will find The Seafood Bar in Utrecht on Stationsplein (ideal if you have to catch the train afterwards or if no one wants to be the bob).

Fish&More

Fish&More

If you are often in Utrecht, you know it, that small cozy street between the Vredenburgplein and the Oudegracht. That small cozy street is called Drieharingstraat and is also the street where your restaurant Fish&More can find. The interior on the one hand makes you feel like you are in old Marseille and on the other hand it also has industrial Touches. It is a light, high space with a concrete floor and lots of steel as details. Your favorite fish dishes are prepared in the open kitchen and you will be as cooked as a shrimp after all the delicious food.
