I am often asked how do I find the places I go....there are several ways. One of them led us to…read moreD'Artagnan and we were not disappointed. We had originally headed to the local family-run Bar Frape but were distressed to find it shuttered. Perhaps because they closed at 2000 and we were there shortly thereafter. Looking south along the river we spotted tables and chairs on the sidewalk so we headed in that direction. What we found was a trendy (and empty) bar that was obviously serving up what we were NOT looking for. That's when we spotted across the street what appeared to be a Eetcafe but upon further inspection found a joint billing itself as a Grand Cafe. Now, typically we steer away from Grand Cafes since our desire to impress is less than at times it should be. We have found Grand Cafes to not have any better food than Eetcafes and usually at twice the price. However, we decided to go outside our box and give it a try....and we are glad we did. Inside the D'Artagnan resembled more an Eetcafe than a Grand. While there was much more spit and polish than most Eets the atmosphere was that warm, comfy gezellig the Dutch are so wild about. We were looking for refreshment and a snack and ended up finding our favorite Dutch gin (2VC) which right then and there told us we were putting the rest of our evening on hold. We ordered the bouillabaisse and the anti pasta. Both excellent choices and between the both of us we could not finish. The bouillabaisse contained succulent portions of langostinos in a delicate seafood/tomato broth. The cheese bread on top was less a compliment than what was intended but good nonetheless. The anti pasta included ham, proscuitto, salami and pepperoni. Plus bread, olives, salad and scrumptious garlic mushrooms. With the exception of the pepperoni which was mealy, it was a great sampler. If you are not familiar with gezellig (gezelligheid) then you need to look it up or better, hang out here for an hour.... We will return.

Highly recommend for tourists and locals. Both Dutch and English spoken here with menus in both…read morelanguages as well. We selected the 4 course prix fixe with wine pairings. She presents two types of bread--which you will need with all of the beautiful wines... My favorite course was the rabbit in plums and the creamy leek soup. All the pairings were well thought out. The menu has a pretty good variety and wines by the glass and bottles have suggested courses which takes alot of the guess work out of it. Dessert was lovely and the tea presentation is exquisite. 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!

Have you ever eaten somewhere and thought how do they do this night after night . Seamless service,…read moreperfect pacing between courses , and impeccably prepared food. My dinner at the Chateau was actually my first time dining in a Chateau. My abroad bae knows how fancy my taste buds and dining approaches are so I was super excited when we finally arrived . A 9pm reservation on a Sunday seemed like the worst idea but I was slightly jet lagged so a late start to dinner was exactly what I needed to get my body in tune with the 6 hour time difference. We started our 5 course tasting with an amuse bouche. What followed were 5 amazing courses each better than the rest . We decided to order a bottle of wine instead of doing the pairings and the sommelier did an amazing job finding a wine to suite our picky tastes. He also made an additional recommendation for the meat eaters Dutch Venison course. The scenery , ambiance , meal, service and company will forever a great memory for me . I'm not sure if I'll ever get the chance to go back but I would gladly accept an invitation.

Ah! One of my fav places…read more 4 years ago it was chic, the idea of driving in an Aston Martin, wearing that little black dress you had hidden in the back of your closet just for a bottle was superb, now it is a bit different and yet the same. The view: Ooooh the killer view, how can I explain... nope I can't you must make that trip. The main dinning terrace is always booked, yes of course, but now there is another terrace in the courtyard. Here is the skinny! The food at the terrace is less sexy, the wine list is not offered but you can ask for it. I particularly didn't like the wine holder, it made the wine look and taste cheap, the same services that is being served in the main court should be extended. Water should always be offered Staff: The staff def eye candy on both end, the service is fantabuloso Toilet: stinky, yes it is old, but it doesn't have to smell like it, again the same service that is offered in the main court should be extended. Would i recommend it yes and no No: the chic-ness has gone Yes: the view is spectacular and not to be missed
