About
Tucked away on Schalkwijkstraat in Utrecht, Héron is a restaurant where sustainability is not a buzzword but the guiding principle behind every decision. Almost all produce is locally sourced from Dutch soil, strictly following the seasons, and the kitchen makes full use of preserving and fermenting techniques that intensify flavour while minimising waste.
Chef Josephien Blom brings professional training and top-level kitchen experience to this philosophy, turning organic ingredients into dishes that feel bold, pure and deeply considered. The accolades reflect that ambition: a Michelin Bib Gourmand for outstanding value, a Michelin Green Star for its exemplary sustainability commitment, a 13/20 from Gault&Millau, and three radishes from We're Smart.
Front-of-house, Joyce Bielderman leads a team whose warmth matches the kitchen's conviction. A Google rating of 4.8 from over 520 reviews underlines just how well the whole experience lands. Dinner is priced between €49 and €59, the restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:45 PM, and reservations can be made via the website.
Organic cooking at its most exciting — secure your table at Héron and taste what a Green Star is all about.
