I was traveling through the Netherlands heading to Germany. I stayed overnight in the lovely city…read moreof Heerlen. My friend and I found Restaurant Smaak and Vermaak in the city center. It's directly across from the Pancratiuskerk (a lovely Catholic Cathedral dedicated to Saint Pancras, built between the 1000 and 1200 centuries). The restaurant specializes in Grilled and Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant was busy even though it was still relatively early. I was glad we arrived early because it just continued to fill up. The bar is lovely and very upscale. The cocktail menu has a large variety of unusual offerings, many specializing the use of "Fever Tree" sodas and soda water. The wine and beer lists both have a large variety of choices. My friend had the steak with Bearnaise sauce and fries (frites) with a tomato and creme fraiche topping. I had the lamb kabobs dipped in cream sauce, grilled, and served with a lemon mayonnaise sauce, also with fries. For drinks my friend had a Smoky Jameson's and I had a "Coconut". Everything was delicious. The fries were cut as steak fries, served crispy and perfect. The lamb and steak were both grilled to perfection. The Bearnaise sauce was just right. The lemon mayonnaise really added a wonderful tang to the lamb that enhanced it's already delicious flavor rather than covering it up. The drinks were large and had plenty of alcohol. We ate outside and the setting was comfortable. The Pancratiusein is a city square around the cathedral and has many restaurants and bars and a few shops. Lots of foot traffic. The service was terrific, we wanted for nothing. The waiters and waitresses all spoke Dutch, English, French and German. Not a huge surprise since the Dutch schools focus on multiple language skills, but still very nice to have. The next time I am in the area I won't hesitate to stop here for dinner again. It was terrific!

Whether it was the wine selections or the main course, our waitress eagerly engaged in the conversation with some excellent recommendations. The requisite sliced bread for dipping in a 'do-it-yourself' olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip accompanied with a few olives for munching on. The bread was okay. The house red (Merlot) was pleasant and it was nice that it could be ordered by the glass. The chef's special of tagliatella with tomato basil sauce and beef was tasty. The pasta was okay (a little pasty) and the beef, while rich in flavour, was a little chewy. We also had the sea bass & scampi dish. It was excellent. The fish was well prepared and the sauce was full of flavour with a nice little kick. The side salad was a good sized portion with very fresh ingredients, but the dressing was a touch on the salty side. Overall a very enjoyable evening.

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.

The croissants were soft and airy, the croque madame was delicious, but the mushroom omelet was lacking since it was literally just mushrooms in overcooked/dry eggs over toast, which was a letdown.
