Restaurant Maeve

Maeve is a pretty good restaurant, though I found the price-to-quality ratio slightly unbalanced. The service was good, but the real standout was the atmosphere: classy yet cozy, with a thoughtfully curated music selection that added to the overall vibe. One drawback was the table arrangement. The seating felt a bit too tight, and when the restaurant got busy, the noise from surrounding conversations somewhat disrupted the otherwise magical ambiance. The food was enjoyable for the most part. We loved most of the dishes, three were absolutely top-notch. One dish, however, had an overly strong fish flavor, reminiscent of when fish isn’t quite at its freshest. That said, another fish dish that my boyfriend got as a main course instead of the meat was exceptional. It was one of the most interestingly prepared fish dishes I’ve ever tasted: crispy on the outside, yet soft and juicy inside. The dessert, unfortunately, didn’t leave much of an impression. It felt more like a mishmash of components than a cohesive dish. On a more positive note, the wine list was extensive and impressive. Overall, I would recommend Maeve. Despite a few minor flaws, it remains one of the best fine-dining options Utrecht has to offer. Also, it has a Michelin star.

The food was good but there were 2 plates that I tasted too salty, that's was pity because taste good but the oversalted the vegetables was not good, this make me cannot enjoy the menu as I wanted. I feel a little disappointed for this kind of restaurant, do not check very well each plate( was not only me plate, was from my sister too) we we have 2 times salty food. Paring wine was good, I really enjoy same as not alcoholic drinks. Thanks to the sommelier for the recommendations. Service was good but I did not like that always want to fill up your water glass, we did not wanted because we wanted to know how much bottle we are drinking, that part i did not like, will be better if they leave the bottle in your table so you know how much you are drinking.

We had the pleasure of enjoying a 6-course dinner with wine pairing at Maeve. Each dish was beautifully presented and filled with surprising flavors and the wines complemented them perfectly. The staff was incredibly service-oriented, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Everything was thoughtfully planned down to the finest detail. After visiting most fine-dining restaurants in Utrecht, we can say with certainty that Maeve is among our favorites. If you're looking for a standout dining experience in Utrecht, Maeve is definitely a place to visit!

One word: Perfection. The food, the wine, the atmosphere, the staff, perfection. Highly recommend. All the combinations of textures in the dishes, the subtle flavour nuanses, it all came together perfectly. Everything in the dishes complimented each other, even to the smallest detail.

A gem in a city that isn’t known for its culinary tradition. Interesting flavours, good use of local produce en great wine pairing. The chef and sommelier are not afraid to experiment. Knowledgeable staff. Nice and laid-back. I might be wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they are down for a Michelin star in a year or two…
