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.

The spazle portion was enormous and loaded with gorgeously caramelized onions and cheese. The cheese schnitzels were exactly as you could imagine, crispy crunchy on the outside with a golden crusty and ooey gooey stretchy cheese on the inside, paired with either sauce it was fantastic. Jaegar sauce was packed with mushrooms in a brown gravy and the Balkan were fresh chopped onions, a flavorful red sauce and a white sauce with fresh herbs. Amazing amazing. Easily one of the best meals I had on my trip. Oh I made a reservation by the way so not sure how walking in would look like. Staff were very nice.

For my meal, I ordered the wiener schnitzel with jager sauce (my go to schnitzel order). This was the best I had. Massive portions (I couldn't finish it) and perfectly cooked and seasoned veal made this dish about as close to a 10 as you can get. The spaetzle was about what you would expect. The service was friendly and timely which I appreciated. This is worth traveling for.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After reading all the reviews, I had to come here and try this place out. On a Monday around lunch, the backyard was about one third full when we showed up. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their food and drinking Kölsch. Everyone talks about the pork chop, so I had to order it and give my own opinion. This was a solid pork chop and the onions certainly enhanced the dish. Unfortunately, my piece came lukewarm at best and definitely not as juicy as if it would have been right out of the oven. The version I had was good, but not worthy of all the accolades. Other than that, we tried Metthappen (raw pork tartare), which was somewhat bland and mushy. Had to add a lot of salt and pepper for more flavor. With that said, the liverwurst and blood sausage were both excellent. In the end, I did not love the bread, but the pickle was great. Service with a smile, the servers were very kind and patient. They will gladly let you take your time to order while they fill your next glass of Kölsch. If you want them to stop, many people have mentioned, just put your coaster on top of your glass.

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!
