The story
Madeleine is a classic French bistro at Wed 3A, 3512 JH Utrecht, and Gault&Millau gave it 13.5 for 2026. The restaurant sits in the city centre and keeps an informal, lively room with a French kitchen at its core.
Chef Rik de Jonge leads the kitchen and cooks French bistro classics with day-fresh seasonal produce. The menu changes almost every day, so a return visit rarely brings the same plates. Gault&Millau notes his strong commitment to French cooking and his use of good products.
Sommelier Apolline Hüni selects the wines that accompany the menu. The interior was upgraded in the past year, and the dining room stays busy in the evenings. Groups of up to 12 can book online, and on Friday and Saturday evenings the limit is 8.
