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.

I thought the food was alright, but nothing too special. You do get a lot, so that's definitely a plus. Like I said, my friend ordered her dish glutenfree, since she has a gluten allergy. After we ate and left the place she told us her stomach was hurting. And the next day she had fallen ill. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, whether they had accidentally given her the wrong dish or something else. What I do know is that she is never going back there again. For me personally, I thought the food was quite tasty just didn't have that wow factor. Though knowing about my friend getting sick I just can't recommend this place, especially not for someone with allergies.

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.

Beyond the ultra-convenient location, this pub offers warm hospitality, an extensive drink menu (including zero-proof beers for your N/A pub pleasure), and good prices. It was easy to find vegan and vegetarian options. I was torn between the veggie burger and the vegan shepherds pie, until a shepherd's pie went by on its way to another table, and I was sold. The vegan shepherd's pie is a hearty dish but is not heavy. Made with the classic savory pie veggies (carrots, peas, and onions), this pie is full of flavor. Lentils stand in for the lamb, and there's a bit of tanginess (from something tomatoey, I think). A neutral, pure-white layer of starchy goodness helps ensure that you're able to get every last bit of flavor, and a layer of toasted vegan cheese adds crunch. It was super-satisfying, and I was sad that I couldn't finish it (like I said, generous portions--don't eat a late lunch!). I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The best deal in Eindhoven!…read more Big portions of good tasting food at a decent price. That is pretty much impossible to come by in Holland except for here. This place is popular among students as well as interns at Phillips. Some others and I had a dinner event that we need to hold and decided to have the event here. We were glad we did because they were quite accommodating to our big group of 40 people and it worked out pretty well. I love their green beans. They have 2 (or 3 now) vegetarian options which are both very good, tasty, and filling. I will miss this place! The only warning is that it can get really crowded on Friday and Saturday nights.

The first positive sign was the simple fact that they were open at 10 in the morning in the middle of the week, as indicated by the super friendly server when I walked up and asked. I then ordered an appetizer and one of the gourmet coffees and was not only blown away by how well presented and made everything was but also they brought a chunk of fresh baguette with butter. I have occasion to be in this area about once a week and have traveled pretty much all of the cafés in the Square, and this one is overall top one or two. If you come here as a tourist and are looking for a place to eat the amount of café choices can be overwhelming, but come here first.
