I ordered a hot chocolate which was nothing special and pre-mixed but it did come with a cookie and a chocolate. I also ordered the toasted ham and cheese with fried egg which took them FOREVER to make. It was pretty good when I got it but maybe because I was starving. The egg was actually great but the sandwich itself could have been much better.

Much larger than I would expect from a Brown Cafe, it still evokes all the emotion and sense that you would expect from such a traditional establishment. Prices were very reasonable, service friendly and filled with Gezelldeheid. Stop by for a brew and chat and wonder what the rest of the world is doing. I highly recommend this for drinks and conversation.

Geen betere plek dan in het sfeervolle en nostalgische Grand Café Maastricht Soiron aan het Vrijthof. Grand Café Maastricht Soiron ligt bij het 'made in Maastricht' Museum aan het Vrijthof, in het oude Spaans Gouvernement. Groots genieten voor een kleine prijs is het credo van Grand Café Maastricht.

This is not really your traditional winery. They dont make the wine here but they do order some…read moregood ones. Apparently it was a winery back in the day but they stopped making wines and now they only order them. We booked a wine tour not sure what to expect but it turned out to be fun. The wine tour was in Dutch but the people were nice enough to explain it in English as well. They usually only have the tours in Dutch though. It was really nice that they accomodated us in english and it made the experience great. At the end of the walking tour you get to taste the different wines and have some little snacks. All the snacks were nice finger foods. The bread was ridiculously good though. That was a trend in Belgium and Holland where they have the freshest bread on the table every time. The wine was solid as well. It was a fun time at the "winery" and we also bought some wine after. Definitely come check it out.

The ambience was quite good to dance even though the light was bit brighter and the DJ wasn't really that good. Quite cheap drinks as well, I would say.

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.
