Your Living Room in Utrecht's Domkwartier
For specialty coffee, breakfast, lunch, and special moments
The best-preserved spot in Utrecht
On Donkere Gaard, tucked away just around the corner from the Dom, you’ll find a cozy spot where Utrecht goes about its business in hushed tones. Start your day with a quiet breakfast before the city wakes up, curl up by the window with a specialty coffee, or find a spot on the patio while the “ Domtoren ” towers above the rooftops. Later, pull up a chair for a leisurely lunch or linger a little longer. With high tea or a good glass of wine on a Friday afternoon, that’s just the natural thing to do here.
Where the week ends on a slightly sweeter note
De Donkere Gaard is located in the heart of Utrecht’s oldest district. Surrounded by historic buildings, narrow streets, and the Dom, it feels as though the city has been moving to the same rhythm here for centuries. While the Neude and Hoog Catharijne bustle just around the corner, here you’ll find the peace and quiet you need to relax for a while.
Anne&Max Domkwartier was Utrecht’s first “living room” and has always managed to maintain that relaxed atmosphere. On Friday afternoons, you can kick off the weekend here with colleagues or friends over a cozy “high wine.” It’s a place to meet up, catch up, and—before you know it—stay an hour longer.
