About
Perched on the ninth and tenth floors of a beautifully restored water tower on Heuveloord in Utrecht, De Watertoren offers a dining experience that is as elevated in concept as it is in altitude. The panoramic views over the city alone make it a destination worth seeking out.
Chef Bram van der Bor leads the kitchen, earning the restaurant a 13.5/20 from Gault&Millau and a well-deserved place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500. His cooking is characterised by high-quality produce, well-balanced flavours, and a considered interplay of textures.
Diners can opt for a five-course set menu or order à la carte — both are praised for their excellent value. Those who want to watch the open kitchen in action should specifically request a table on the ninth floor. Attentive, warm service rounds out a complete and memorable evening.
