Am often asked for my favourite places to eat, drink etc. Below a selection

Maastricht (home town)

To eat favourites

  • Harry’s; one of my favourite restaurants for sure! A-ma-zing food, wine and ambiance. Highly recommended!
  • Onglet; also one of my favourite restaurants in Maastricht!! Lovely local food
  • Gio’s (no website); hidden at the Vrijthof square is this amazing Italian restaurant. You can only reserve a table by calling around 4.30pm.
  • Cafe Sjiek; all time favourite, read the New York Times article here. Extremely reasonable priced and tasty food! They don’t take reservations.
  • Il y a; lovely French restaurant in the upcoming Koestraat
  • Mediterraneo; best Italian of The Netherlands. Although the prices are a little high, the food and wines are just incredible!

Also great:

    • Witloof; great Belgian restaurant!
    • “O”; best fishrestaurant in Maastricht, based in the street where I’m living.
  • Kruisherenhotel; the ambience is just amazing; an old monastry. Good food as well!
Drinks
  • Brandweerkantine; around the corner of the Vrijthof, little away of the fuss. Great concept!
