Tucked away on ’t Wed, Madeleine brings the charm of a Parisian bistro into the 21st century. Warm, intimate, and effortlessly stylish, this modern bistro serves French classics with fresh twists—crafted daily by chef Rik de Jonge, who works exclusively with seasonal, day-fresh ingredients. Because the menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, you’ll find something new almost every visit, each dish rooted in tradition yet elevated with contemporary technique.

The scent of freshly baked bread greets you at the door, and the plates follow with vibrant, flavour-driven compositions—think ray wing with a roasted pepper sauce vierge, celeriac cream, and a sparkling tarragon sabayon, or a crispy fried egg paired with chorizo, mushrooms, and a deep porcini jus. From small bites to multi-course menus, Madeleine balances finesse with bistro comfort.

Perfect for intimate evenings, celebrations, or group dinners, the restaurant is just steps from the Dom and the historic Academiegebouw. With flexible options—including full venue rental—Madeleine adapts effortlessly to birthdays, graduations, and special gatherings, all supported by a thoughtful wine list that shines with well-chosen French bottles. Recognised by the Michelin Guide for its “Good Cooking,” Madeleine delivers an elegant yet relaxed culinary experience in the heart of Utrecht—a place where French tradition feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
