We were lucky enough to get the last two seats available by the bar, where you can see the food being prepared. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, restaurant is petit as the name suggests and cosy.

Joyce, the co-founder (I presume), was very knowledgeable and informative about the dishes. I liked that there was a strong emphasis on foraging and relationships with the food producers. All of the best elements of fine dining without the pretentiousness and stuffiness that some restaurants have. The chefs were also very friendly and getting to see the food prepared before us and chat to them when they had a minute was fascinating.

The food itself was exquisite, each dish had a unique and carefully thought out flavour profile. The restaurant has dishes to accommodate most dietary requirements. My personal favourite was the pied de conchon (pigs foot presented like a kind of slow cooked sausage). The portions were tasting size as to be expected, but we were both pleasantly full by the end of the night and the mains came with an extra bean dish to fill the gaps. The prices are reasonable for a degustation experience, I think for the price it's much more of an intimate experience than you may get at some of the Michelin starred restaurants.

If you're in Utrect and want an evening of delicious foods, I'd highly recommend checking this place out.

Fantastic restaurant. The food is amazing. Tasty, local and very creative. From all the dishes we tried, I think my favorite were pollock and pied de cochon. Oh and the desserts were absolutely amazing. We sat at the kitchen bar and watched the chefs which is always really nice. Talking to owners we learned a lot about where they got their ingredients and even some tips on foraging areas in the area. The wine pairing was spot on with some delicious Italian wines. The prices are very reasonable and I can't wait to come back.

We had an amazing time at Héron. The food and drinks are great. We had an oyster as an appetizer, it was good. Then we had sweet potato with coffee shoyu, as starters, which was amazing. Finally we had fish as the main course which was also great. We also love the non-alcoholic drinks which have a wide variety of unique tastes, such as a combination of matcha with black berry. The service was great.

Heron was a nice gourmet experience with a very good service and wine combination. We ordered oysters and aspargus as a starters, later on continued with deer with fresh garlic and some filet americain. The plates looks pretty. Only thing the starters were a little bit tasteless but the main dish was amazing.
Plus point to their homemade non-alcoholic wallnut-apple juice that was the best drink I ever have and their wines were also unique and tasty.

Upfront, this restaurant maybe isn’t for everyone. Not in a “pretentious you wouldn’t get it blah blah” kinda way but because not all the flavour and texture combos are to everyone’s tastes. Preserved, pickled, and fermented flavours and textures are very much a love it and hate it thing to many.

That said, if you want to taste things you’ve never tasted before or even considered being tasty this place is for you. Menu changes per the seasons, ingredients are local, and the knowledge and passion of the people working there is on another level.

If you can’t pick they are happy to pick for you. We picked our own food but left drinks (mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic) up to the waiter. Pairings were fantastic, and the dishes we had were perfectly portioned and put together. Service is incredibly warm and friendly, and every dish and drink is explained in detail. You’re left to enjoy yourself and take your time, yet you never feel unattended.

A perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or just enjoy something different, and I cannot recommend this place enough
