Landhuis in de Stad

Set in an 18th-century country house in the middle of Park Oog in Al, Landhuis in de Stad runs as a community gathering place rather than a profit-first restaurant. The team led by Klaas Alblas, Anna Strumphler, Liesbeth, and Lieke describes the venue as guests' second living room and combines cooking with cultural programming.

The staff includes colleagues working through Abrona, the Utrecht organisation supporting adults with intellectual disabilities, alongside others facing barriers to the labour market. Inclusive employment is treated as part of the kitchen's purpose, not an add on.

Almost every ingredient comes from a named regional supplier: organic vegetables and fruit from Korenmaat, herbs and edible flowers harvested every two weeks at Voedselbos Haarzuilens, sourdough from Stevig Brood in Woerden, beer from Brouwerij Hommeles in Odijk, and wine from neighbour Jaap.
