At the end of the afternoon, the chef personally hands over the umpteenth glass of champagne of the day to mayor Sharon Dijksma. It’s no surprise that she’s coming to celebrate the party, she has worked hard for top catering in Utrecht in recent years. “As a municipality, we helped by bringing the Gault & Millau guide presentation to Utrecht. But the restaurants have really put themselves on the map, among other things by working well together.” And, the mayor emphasizes, it is not only Maeve and Karel V who are being put in the spotlight today. “Héron has kept the green star (a sustainability star, ed.), which is also worth a lot.”
And another bottle open: Karel V and Maeve celebrate Utrecht star rain ‘and the champagne can’t finish’
