The delicious details

Tommy Janssen and Vera Voorend opened Maeve in 2021 inside an 18th-century national monument steps from Utrecht's Dom tower. Janssen's cooking applies French technique to seasonal Dutch produce, layering dishes with global accents from dashi and miso to tandoori and aji amarillo. The open kitchen sits at the heart of a 40-cover dining room, renovated in 2025 into a clean, contemporary space with colourful accents against a natural base.

A Michelin star followed in 2023, now joined by a Gault&Millau score of 15.5, a Wine Spectator Best Award of Excellence, and the HANOS Gouden Koksmuts 2024. Tasting menus of five to seven courses shift with the seasons; a separate vegetarian tasting menu is available on advance request.

Menu

What is on the table

Maeve's seasonal tasting menus pivot with Dutch produce: asparagus and wild garlic in spring, celeriac and kumquat in colder months. French technique layered with global accents (dashi, tandoori, ras el hanout) shapes courses featuring Kemper Landhoen organic chicken, North Sea shellfish, and Dutch cheeses. A vegetarian tasting menu is available on advance request; allergies accommodated at booking, except citrus, soy, egg, onion, and vegan.

Maeve's tasting menus rotate with the seasons, moving from asparagus, wild garlic, and rhubarb in spring to root vegetables, celeriac, and kumquat in colder months. The kitchen works with whole ingredients and refined French technique, layering dishes with global accents: dashi, miso, koji, tandoori, ras el hanout, and Thai basil all appear alongside Dutch seasonal produce. Courses such as pikeperch with shrimp and tandoori or lamb with celeriac, beurre noisette, and ras el hanout show Janssen's approach of balancing freshness with depth.

Kemper Landhoen organic chicken and North Sea shellfish (crab, shrimps, langoustine) anchor the protein courses, while Dutch cheeses close the savoury progression.

A dedicated vegetarian tasting menu is available on advance request. The kitchen accommodates allergies when communicated at booking, though it cannot remove citrus, soy, egg, or onion, and vegan diets cannot be served.
