Maastricht
in Limburg

As the name implies, literally everything is smothered in beurre (aka butter). Bar Beurre takes the traditional French bistro and revamps it with an ounce of Dutch brown pub coziness. Low-strung lamps hang from the mahogany panelled ceilings and regal, silver candelabras are scattered across the oak tables. On the small but mighty menu are bar bites, starters, mains and desserts ranging from monkfish and scallops doused in a turnip-top bisque to the boeuf infused with anchovy oil, green pepper and lovage. Good food, terrific vibes and, if the food locks you in, some great electronic music on the mixer once the clock chimes 10pm.  

Beluga Loves You, sure, but we love Beluga! The one-Michelin-starred restaurant is easily on of the most memorable spots in the country thanks to its experimental Dutch cuisine.

Only a short way from Maastricht centre is a farm in Reijmerstok: this is the home of Brut 172. It is difficult to describe the beauty of the architecture, the beams are exposed, the brick walls still visible, and the colours are kept neutral. Above all, the food is just sensational. 

Housed in a historic château, Neercanne is both a stunning hotel and a fine dining restaurant with Michelin-star status. With exceptional views across the Jerker Valley, the rooms blend comfort, history, and luxury. Languish over a long lunch and wander through the grounds within the private garden. 

Authentic Persian cuisine made with love and care. Farèn's extensive cuisine might seem overwhelming but we promise that whatever you order will be delicious. k

Harry's marries fresh local ingredients, inviting ambience and stellar service for a memorable dining experience. Situated in Hotel Beaumont, this international brasserie is great for hotel guests and locals too.

At Le Fernand, marvellous ambience and excellent food go hand-in-hand. Their mind-blowing French menu and seriously good wine make for an unforgettable dining experience. Come déjeuner, dinner et supper, we know where we want to head!

Lumière is a lovely little art house cinema housed in a former monumental power station in the middle of Maastricht. Grab a drink with friends after your movie or catch a double feature.

Indulgent, yet utterly relaxed, Mes Amis is aptly named. With various chef's tasting menus, the wine pairing is a must - it is truly some of Limburg's finest. 

A relaxed, intimate atmosphere paired with food that is presented as delicately as a work of art, Restaurant 55's French-inspired dishes are utterly divine. 

With various Levantine classics, chef Zeina Haroun, truly brings the flavours of Beirut to the heart of Maastricht. Delicious food, and an unbeatable atmosphere, settle down and tuck in!
