Maastricht Dining Experience

Enjoy Mediterranean flavours, regional delicacies or Asian specialties - it’s all part of Maastricht aan Tafel (the Maastricht Dining Experience) from 1 to 15 August inclusive.
Restaurants with a variety of cuisines at special locations will be serving delicious three course meals (starter, main course and coffee/dessert) for the symbolic price of €25.20. Each meal purchased includes a small donation of 20 euro cents to Extraordinary Ones, an initiative by Leon Aarts from Maastricht.

Small Change, Big Difference : each donation is enough to provide a child with a meal at school. And if you want to treat your taste buds to something really special at a Michelin star restaurant, just take a seat at restaurant Toine Hermsen for only €40.20. Come and enjoy during ‘Maastricht aan Tafel’ one or more of the many culinary highlights our town has to offer and support Extraordinary Ones and children worldwide. Be Maastricht Extraordinary!

But there is more

A great many other “not to be missed” culinary activities will also be taking place during Maastricht aan Tafel. On 7 and 14 August, you can explore the gastronomic secrets of Maastricht during the special VVV Maastricht aan Tafel walking tour. Learn how to bake the traditional regional sweet flan delicacy (vlaai) at the Bisschopsmolen, or quench your thirst at Centre Céramique.

Cooking enthusiasts searching for special ingredients can find a variety of Maastricht aan Tafel package deals at the Bisschopsmolen, Maison Blanche Dael and the VVV (tourist office) shop. Each activity/package sold also includes a contribution to Extraordinary Ones. And if you want to have a healthy serving of culture for dessert, visit the Lumière film theatre, the Minerva Cinema Maastricht or one of the many shows at Theater aan het Vrijthof.

Extraordinary Ones

Leon Aarts started as a chef and later restaurant owner and wholesaler of fine foods to top end restaurants in London like Gordon Ramsay. He is founder of Extraordinary Ones. Leon says; ‘’Extraordinary Ones is a non profit and our goal is to feed children in schools worldwide from developing countries to close to home. How? By sharing, every time when we buy a meal. 20 euro cent seems like a minimal amount, but a child can get fed for that amount. Small Change Big Difference.
