If you want something different then the usual French / Italian style cuisine restaurants in the centre of Utrecht you should go to LE:EN. Situated on a 10 mins walk from the centre you'll find LE:EN in a well redesigned garage. The restaurant has a great, not common in Utrecht, interior with a very nice atmosphere.

When the weather is nice, this restaurant is packed (lots of outdoor seating). Eventhough it has moved from the edge of the city centre to a bit further away. Now it's a bit in the middle of nowhere, but the water tower nearby is nice. I sort of like this place, but the food tends to be overpriced: I think... More

Do not visit this horrible place, unless your stomach is ready to receive rotten food! Waiters seems to care each other more then to the guests. It's clear this place has a limit and should redesign their service and kitchen and it might rebound successfully. Cause the location is fairly good.

I really liked it here. The saké was superb and came with a story of how the plumbs were harvested. You can buy small tapas, like two or three. Many meat, fish or vegetarian options. I was with a group of friends, some more cautious and some more adventurous in their choices, and we all had a good meal and... More

LE:EN offers a nice place for a drink or small dishes with an Asian twist. I love the salads, but the Peking duck is also very nice. It is situated in an old garage nearby de Toonkamer. Not a place we're you would expect an restaurant. But the interior is nice. if you are planning to stay very long, I... More

Okay, the concept is nice, all kinds of Asian food served as tapas, but OMG, how long can it take to serve some bites?! We were with a group of 9 on a saturdaynight, so I can forgive a bit of delay but to take 4,5 hours(!) to serve 3 courses of small bites? And also... for 25 euro I... More

Very trendy, low seats, good food. It's on the very edge of Utrecht's towncenter.

I went to LE:EN a few months ago because a friend tipped us. The interior looks very trendy, and because we didn't have a reservation we had to wait about 30 minutes at the bar to get a table, but this is quite normal in Utrecht. The menu consist of Japanese tapa's, that you order in several rounds. The staff... More

I have been to this restaurant quite often. All the food comes on little dishes, so you can can try a few different ones. I love it! The food tastes great and the atmosphere is good.
