French Onion Soup - The soup was solid and seasoned with lots of herbs. They could have used a better cheese, but overall, I'd say it was good. Beef stew - The flavor of the stew was kind of unexpected because it doesn't taste like a traditional beer braised stew. The flavor is similar to sauerbraten, which is a german pot roast with a sweet-vinegary flavor. Prices here are reasonable, especially for their Belgium beers. 5 euros for a 9% belgium triple? I'm in. 4 stars.

This place came highly recommended by the interwebs.

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.

I had the good fortune of being the one and only patron for the first hour and I sat and talked to the owner, Pieter. This place just has that authentic Irish feel to it. I actually walked a half a mile past another Irish pub that was closer to my hotel to get to this one. Maastricht does not have as much exposure to Yelp, so I actually had to look for a recommendation on another site. That is exactly why I am reviewing this restaurant. Yelpers need to know this place! I enjoyed a Smithwick's on tap. The beer was extremely cold, and the pint was a perfect pour! However, the biggest draw for me was the fish and chips. They are absolutely delicious! The fish is a rather large piece, done right in beer batter. It is also extremely flaky and I consider this a good thing! The pub is also known to be a good place to watch European football. The TVs are hooked up to sound and broadcast in HD. Whether you're looking for a good pint, good food or just to enjoy a football game, this is your place. And let Pieter know that Craig from Yelp sent you!

We've been in Irish Bars all over the world. This one is special. For one thing, it's clean. I mean *really* clean. It's really nicely furnished and decorated. The place has sort of an "upscale" ambiance, but retains the laid back feeling you expect from an Irish Pub. The food was terrific. We enjoyed large portions and the exceptional presentation. Prices were reasonable and the service was great. In short, this isn't your run of the mill Irish Pub. I absolutely recommend you check it out.

While I was studying abroad in Maastricht, I had a craving for Korean food since I'm used to easily…read moreaccessing tons of great Korean restaurants in Los Angeles. The lunch prices are very cheap here and I'm not a big eater, so the portion was just right for me. I got the kimchi soup, dumplings, and salad combo, which is a super simple dish that I usually make at home, but I couldn't find the dumpling brand I usually buy at the Asian market here. Overall, the flavor was quite bland and left a lot to be desired. Even the kimchi soup was watered down despite kimchi usually being a pungent and sour dish. Although I do see why the food flavors aren't as strong with most of the food culture here being different, I hoped that all the flavors wouldn't have erred on the bland side. Great service and I hope Maastricht gets more Korean and east Asian restaurants!

It kept me full for a few hours, but presentation was lackluster and the taste just ok, nothing to write home about or that I couldn't have found in the freezer section of a grocery store. Service was really friendly though, so I might give the other lunch combos another chance at some point, but not before I have exhausted all other options in the area.

A proper coal oven with thin crusted pizza (the way it is supposed to be!) and even, buffalo mozzarella. No ridiculous toppings (pineapple is blasphemy) and not too much tomato sauce. This little bear found something "just right". I am not a fan of all of their combinations (pesto on pizza is weird to me), but you cant go wrong with the regina with tomato sauce.

It has a lot of character to it that is for sure. I don't know if I would consider it 5 star accomodations but it is nice. They have parking on premises for 35 euros which is kind of a rip off but had no choice but to pay. When we checked in we didn't get a key because they weren't ready but picked them up 1 hour after. Room wasn't anything spectacular and the set up was kind of weird. The bathroom is in a enclosed glass case which I wasn't a fan of. The shower is a bathtub as well. They have extremely thin walls so you can hear everything in the halls. It was horrible. You can hear every door slam and conversation. I heard the cleaning people knock on every door while I was laying down. You can hear EVERYTHING. The room sucked but the lobby area is cool. I think you pay for that rather than the quality of the rooms. It is a unique stay but the actual stay wasn't the best.

She brought out a little tray of star chocolates(representative of Maastrict) at the end of the meal which was charming. The host, Annalise, is friendly and warm. I could not think of a better place for a special dinner in Maastrict - simply excellent start to finish. She also called us a taxi so we wouldn't have to walk 20 min back to the hotel. I would come back to Maastrict just so I can eat here again!

We've tried this place twice (to give it "another chance"), but cannot discover its "reputation". The formula of leaving your phone number and wait to be "invited" to dine, should say enough: arrogance all over. Which is not founded by the food you will be served: that is OK to GOOD (but definitely NOT outstanding). The fact that ruins the experience is the lack of decent service; FOOD 3,5 / Service 1. Definitely NOT recommended (again: cross the bridge to the Rechtstraat for the real Italian restaurants... Yes: more than one...!)
