    Meneer Potter

    Meneer Potter is the place where you will quickly feel at home in Utrecht. Where you can ask our employees questions about the city. While you are provided with a delicious breakfast or an extensive lunch, they will tell you everything about the building you are in. The former Post Office. Or about the library. Are you new here? Then you will quickly find the ‘ins & outs’ of the city here. Were you born and raised here? Then this is a place to feel ‘at home’. The employees of Meneer Potter live and work in the city and are therefore real ‘Utrechters’. They know the city like the back of their hand and know what there is to do. They are bon vivants, who love good food and drinks and like to spoil you with a good cup of coffee, tea or a special beer and of course something tasty is a must. You can enjoy a nice drink, a lunch or an extensive dinner.
