”Understandable and pure, limited ingredients but with products of outstanding quality from small producers. The dishes are complex in their simplicity. It’s nice when people remember my dishes. You don’t need a grand list of ingredients for that. The technique, the emotion and the pleasure of working will make Restaurant Karel 5 in the coming years a top place for everyone who cares about Utrecht and good food.” – Leon Mazairac
