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!

Kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. Great menu, maybe too big, but a wonderful…read moreselection. Wonderful greeting and great friendly service throughout the night. The salad bar has all the basics and the veggies were fresh and crispy. The Pirate 'platter' with pfeffer sauce was a good choice. I enjoyed the sauce, the meats (beef and pork) were tender. The frites were good and the side of rice was okay, nothing special. The chicken breast in bernaise sauce was very tender. Sauce was not overpowering and was a nice addition. The side of veggies were good, although a bit over-cooked. Over all a very enjoyable meal and am definitely interested in trying some of their other dishes.

We had wines paired to the surprise flights (some wines covering more than one flight) and they were expertly selected. I cannot day enough positive things about this place. This meal is something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

Wij hebben een relatief kleine, regelmatig wisselende kaart omdat wij geloven dat door ons te concentreren op een beperkt aantal gerechten, die gerechten veel beter worden dan wanneer het er meer zouden zijn. Wij zijn een klein bedrijf met een kleine keuken waarin alles vers en op bestelling bereid wordt. At A en B you can enjoy original Thai flavours in an informal setting. We make all our dishes as much as possible in house from the best, fresh ingredients without any artificial flavour enhancers (MSG).

Very quaint and cozy style restaurant and it even has a play area for the kiddos! The service was very friendly and attentive and when there was a language barrier they quickly sent someone over who spoke English to help! I ordered there "Cactus" Soup which came in a very cute mini crock pot with a pre-sliced roll with cheese. Presentation was adorable.

Rustic charm, birch trees stretching up to the ceiling and lights and candles all over the place. The greeting is always warm and friendly. The Mounty steak, a sumptuous portion of 'dead cow' baked in a skillet with the Chef's sauce and veggies filling the pan. I asked for it medium rare, which is a challenge when the meat goes in the oven, but tonight he hit it bang on. Excellent. The fries ( a new supplier we were told) were nice and crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside. My only complaint was that I had ordered the wedge potatoes (a little mix-up in the kitchen) but I was happy with the fries. The side of salad was okay. Nothing special there; however the home-made apple sauce was delicious. We also had the fish special which was a lightly breaded/fine crumbs plaice. It was nicely prepared. Good flavour, no lots of flavour. Nice seasoning! It went well with the salad that came with the order. Generous portions with tons of flavour. Not the quickest meal out of the kitchen, so I guess you have to wait for good food.
