Is your mouth watering already? We’ve listed five of them for you!
Oliebollen stand on the Maliebaan
You can score award-winning oliebollen at Nick’s Oliebollenkraam, located on one of Utrecht’s oldest avenues, the Maliebaan. In 2024, their oliebollen took first place in the Oliebollentestonline, with the jury praising them as: “Nick’s oliebollen are unbeatable. Flavourful, large balls, well filled, with a crispy crust.”
Address: Maliebaan, Utrecht
Oliebollen at Vroeg in Bunnik
A little farther from the city, but just as delicious – the oliebollen from Restaurant Vroeg. Cycle through the beautiful Amelisweerd area and pair your visit with a wintry walk in the woods. As a finishing touch, you’ll definitely have earned a tasty oliebol! You can order their artisanal oliebollen and apple fritters straight from the oliebollen stand. Feel free to stick around for a hot chocolate or a mulled wine.
