Reviews
Heavenly, no pun intended.
exquisite set dinner food under what is probably the highest ceiling I’ve ever dined under. The trick they perform with projecting the night sky is well done.
All the courses where amazing and I would recommend taking the wine pairing and the cheese course.
While the meal takes you to heaven, the bill will take you right back to earth. Outerworldly quality comes at a price.
We enjoyed a 6-course dinner at Hemel en Aarde in this beautiful, iconic, monumental setting with stunning high ceilings. All dishes were nicely presented and the flavour combinations were intriguing. However, several dishes were not completely balanced taste-wise and were overly salty, which overshadowed the flavour of the key ingredients. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the dishes and wines and subtly omnipresent throughout the evening. Overall, we had a really nice evening. Thank you!
Food was beautifully presented, taste balanced and subtle, it was a fine dining experience in a marvellous environment. Overall I thought the vegetarian options were even better than meat and the banana pecan pie desert captured my heart. Service was friendly, the sommelier however appeared to be a little rushed and stressed, making a few mistakes at our table. Also for my personal taste: the wine pairing has further potential to improve. For our table of 4, the environment was also a little too loud. After weighing all pros and cons carefully we decided on 4* and looking forward to a next visit to turn it into a 5*rating.
For a medium-sized city without a Michelin star restaurant, Utrecht has quite a few excellent options for upscale dining. Think of Fico, WT, Concours, Karel V, and, of course, Hemel & Aarde (Heaven & Earth). Having tried all of them, I can safely say that these are all worth a visit.
Hemel & Aarde works with a fixed menu of 5 or 7 courses, adjusted for the current season. For us, this was Fall. We took the 5 courses with wine pairing. Without spoiling too much, most dishes were a pleasant mix of flavours and textures. My absolute favourite was the ‘Leek’ course, which had intense flavours and a pleasant crunch.
The most interesting and complex dish was the pumpkin desert. Lots of stuff was happening, but unfortunately the taste was a bit flat. The other dishes were certainly good, but I’d rate them as average for this price point.
The wine pairings stood out though. All extremely interesting and highly complimentary to the dishes. Even the desert wine was great.
Combine it all with a fantastic interior, excellent seats, and a cozy ambience and you have yourself an excellent night out.
Dutch haute cuisine, exquisite and absolutely amazing. We visited in late September and got the 5-course "Tribute to Fall" menu with the wine pairing. Fantastic!
Amazing food and experience. Had their Autumn Dinner menu. The duck was to die for. It is fine dining so expect small portions, but I was definitely full at the end of 5 courses. Would definitely come back!
DELICIOUS (finger-licking good!!) food for an incredibly sharp price!! Highly recommended! 🤩
N.B. This was during Corona so it was eaten and ‘prepared’ at home by myself. I’m sure it’ll look 1,000 times more refined when you eat at the restaurant!
We ordered the christmast-special take-away (due to COVID-19, the restaurant was close). It was the best meal we had in 2020, by far. Even the box was tantalizing. The dessert was Champion League. I recon I have a new gastronomic hero... absolutely fabulous. Worth every single Penny. The newest attraction in town!
