Can’t believe it’s time for a new Insta Round-Up already. Maybe you have noticed that I skipped July, but it was a crazy busy month and I thought you might appriciate blog updates a bit more. But for August I have a quick update on my discoveries of the past month and I also share some of my favourite spots with you. Let’s get started..
New spots in Utrecht:
1. Stael on the Twijnstraat. Sector3 moved next door to create more space for a new lunch slash drinks concept.
2. The Colour Kitchen along the Oudegracht. Unfortunately, Bresson closed its doors, but The Colour Kitchen took over the premium location.
3. Utrecht gained a new creative hotspot: De Stadstuin located at the Europalaan. Soon we will have more on De Stadstuin on Explore Utrecht.
4. Rabarber located on the Zadelstraat. The owners decided to leave Utrecht to seek new adventures but two lovely ladies took-over the restaurant, renovated and named it Rabarber. The cafe offers breakfast up to dinner and drinks. I heard you can order breakfast all day.
5. The Amsterdam based concept store, ‘Hutspot’ will open a new store in the old Douwe Egbers cafe in November.
Share your favourite spot on Social Media by using the hastag #exploreutrecht. This way we will create an extensive list with spots in Utrecht for everyone to enjoy.

You got to love blue skies. View of the Dom tower from the @grachtenvaarders_utrecht boat. #exploreutrecht
Bought some of these shiny cherries today. Very tasty. #exploreutrecht
The Stadstuin is very specious which little corners, nooks and a large reading table with awesome lighting as an eye-catcher in the back. The dark wooden table is a nice feature made of Surinam wood. #exploreutrecht #merwedekanaalzone #meermerwede #yourutrechtcityguide
At the opening day of @hutspotamsterdam. #exploreutrecht

A quick stop with @charlottevandenberg at Keuken van KEEK for lunch this afternoon. Had one of those tasty egg muffins you see on the counter. Delicious! #exploreutrecht
I could go for round number two. The watermelon lemonade is one of the best I ever tasted. #exploreutrecht
Started the day with a healthy breakfast at @annemax_utrecht on the Donkere Gaard. Check the review via link in bio #exploreutrecht
Preview of the shoot I had with @charlottevandenberg yesterday. We had so much trouble with the wind and to much hair dancing around. But turned out to be a great shot. #Utrecht #Oudegracht #canals #photo #weekendguideutrecht #exploreutrecht #utrechtmijnstad
A very late lunch at @barbetonutrecht Bank. Delicious oxtail salad but could have done with a bit more green though. #exploreutrecht
Love interior at @barbetonutrecht. From the chairs to the placemats, to the map of Utrecht on the wall. #exploreutrecht #yourutrechtcityguide
The cute tiles, wooden tables, chairs and tools. Colourful terrace upfront. @rabarberutrecht, a new addition on the Zadelstraat. #exploreutrecht #yourutrechtcityguide
Coffee moment at the newly renovated Tastoe that from this week on, continues under the name of @rabarberutrecht. Fresh new spot on the Zadelstraat. #exploreutrecht
On my way with @tastewithsam for a sporty day at the Buiten Adem Sports Festival. #healthylifestyle #fun #festival #utrecht #exploreutrecht
Had a tour with @the_new_life_beginning and @mostlyme.certainothers of the EYE Hotel this afternoon. Every corner of the interior was just perfect. Totally fell in love with the EYE Hotel, which is part of @utrechtcityhotels.
