Oudaen Castle Restaurant
Stadskasteel Oudaen
A medieval castle restaurant on the old canal, with beer brewed in its cellar and terrace seating over the quay.
Oudaen is a city castle built in the 13th century, located at Oudegracht 99, and has operated as a restaurant and café since 1987. The ground floor is a large 8-metre-high café, the restaurant is upstairs, and the brewery in the quayside cellar claims to be the oldest brewery still operating in Utrecht. It produces about 75,000 litres a year, and its signature is the eponymous wheat white beer. Beer tastings with small plates can be booked. The food is international and reasonably priced; the main hall can get loud. About a 3-minute walk from the Dom Tower.
