This place came highly recommended by the interwebs. Zoervleis is described as a sour beef stew…read morewhich sounds unappetizing, I thought it tasted like beef stew in a spiced barbecue sauce, somewhere between KC and NC style. The fries were nothing special but the main was a tasty intro to local food, with a side of apple sauce to clean the palate. Mandarin sorbet was tasty and not overly sweet. It has some floral notes, perhaps honey? A lot of things are decorated with this amusing drawing of a man and woman at dinner. The man is licking his plate while the woman is holding it up like a mirror. Inside is on the smaller side, though I may be comparing to American size. It does get kind of loud.

Highly recommended. We arrived around 1800 and it was packed. We waited for a table for a little…read morebit which was no problem since one of our party hadn't arrived yet. The staff ensured we had drinks and chatted with us as we waited. Over the next four plus hours we had an incredible time. The staff was very welcoming, and the food was fantastic. It's not very big but for our party of 4 that wasn't a problem and the seating was comfortable. Hope to go again the next time I'm in Maastricht.

Cafe Tribunal was a serendipitous find years back and we have made it a point to visit everytime…read morewe've come back. Located steps from the main campus of Maastricht University is caters to a mixed crowd from 20's-70's. We were there twice in one day which says a lot. The seasonal menu is posted on a giant blackboard against the east wall and the beer selection is likewise posted on the south wall. There is also a menu card for their standard offerings. Soups reign supreme here and are offered in giant coffee cup bowls. We had the asparagus soup and were wowed out by the delicate broth and the fresh taste. We also enjoyed the goat cheese salad. I have to admit I do not like goat cheese....I devoured this one. In the evening the place fills up with after work crowd of students and local residents many sharing communal tables. It get quite lively as the night progresses. This a "good time place" and if you aren't having one...it's your own fault. They offer live music most nights and free peanuts with your beer. We always come back.

Low price, check. Delicious food, check. Near the university classes, check. Friendly service,…read morecheck. Only thing about this place is that if it gets busy, service becomes significantly slow. Which is very understandable. I enjoy the interior as well as the exterior of the shop, very warm and welcoming. There's a bar in the middle and plenty of tables inside and out. They have a wide selection of sandwiches that accommodate both meat lovers and vegetarians. I've tried the brie sandwich as well as the brie and honey sandwich, both were as tasty as they sound. I recommend eating here at a time where it isn't as busy. This is definitely going to be my normal spot for the next couple weeks of studying abroad in Maastricht!

This is a fun and vibrant place to visit with friends or a work group. We had a work dinner at this…read morerestaurant and were seated at the chef's table upstairs. It was charming. The food was fantastic and had lots of local flair. We really enjoyed the starters which included an eclectic collection of various salads, cheeses and bread. They had lots of flatbread options on the menu and the salads were fresh. The wines were very reasonably priced. I very much enjoyed the Chardonnay on the menu. I would come back to Belgischer Hof the next time I am in Cologne.

I fell in love with this restaurant the second I walked up to the entrance. It's the cutest…read morerestaurant in all of Germany I'm sure of it! We were lucky to get a table. It was in the front room of the restaurant and our server provided the best service we had during our trip traveling across Germany. He was kind and his timing was perfect. The food was amazing! I ordered the duck and the sides were perfectly it was paired with it for optimal flavor. My friend ordered the rabbit and though it was weird it was very good. Afterwords we had creme brûlée which was again... perfect! It was so light but filling. Sharing dessert after dinner is a must and you'll leave fat and happy then have the best sleep of your life. The atmosphere is adorable. Food is perfect. And service is the best! What more could you ask for?

The cellar of common and somewhat rare Belgian beers was why I chose this place. I had beers with my meal and also bought a dozen bottles for takeaway. Perfect!

Belgian restaurant in Maastricht,…read more This place offers you Belgian grandmother's kitchen and 200 mostly Belgian beers to choose from. The best thing about it is that just like with wine, they pair the beers to the food they serve. They use Belgian quality products, Belgian blue cattle for their beef or belgian cheeses like Maredsous abbey cheese and of course belgian chocolate in their deserts. The point of the restaurant is that most of these products are sometimes unfortunately forgotten but Belgium has so much to give when it comes to fine food. The restaurant itself is rather picturesque and it has won lots of international design awards.. They use old china which adds something to the whole experience of the grandmother's dishes being served. The staff is very friendly and the owner works alongside the staff serving tables. The idea is that you'll have a 2 or 3 course menu for which a very acceptable price is charged. They have a small menu, so I'm pretty sure it's all freshly prepared a la minute. When in Maastricht make sure to put this on your list, and make reservations in advance. Thumbs up for this restaurant for showing us how amazing some of those forgotten Belgian dishes are. They also have takeaway, parking facilities near the door: ol-Vrouwen parking

The outdoor terrace was pretty empty when we arrived. The server seemed like he was in a hurry to get our order. The whole process seemed very rushed. The food itself was ok - not great. The smoked salmon and jambon with the white asparagus was tasty but not the best we had this week. The cassoulet was quite good with lots of duck, ham, and sausage (though I didn't care for this sausage). The prices seemed average. The service just ok. Too many other options to return.
